Our CompTIA PenTest+ bootcamp provides in-depth knowledge on the five domains (Planning & Scoping, Information Gathering & Vulnerability Identification, Attacks & Exploits, Penetration Testing Tools, and Reporting & Communication) that largely make up the PT0-001 certification exam. This course gives you the skills you need to demonstrate the exam requirement of hands-on ability to test devices in new environments.
While there aren’t any prerequisites to take the CompTIA PenTest+ training course itself, it is recommended that course attendees have Network+, Security+ or equivalent knowledge; or at least 3 – 4 years of hands-on information security or related experience. The exam itself also has no prerequisites, however PenTest+ is intended to follow CompTIA Security+ or equivalent experience that has hands-on focus.
It’s a five-day bootcamp course.
A few days before class, you will receive an email with details on how to access our virtual training room, and physical courseware will be delivered to your shipping address.

CompTIA PenTest+ has been ISO/ANSI approved and is in the DOD 8570 approval process. If you’d like more information on DoD 8570 and the various training options for compliance, please check out DoD 8570 overview.
Our CompTIA PenTest+ training bootcamp is designed for IT security professionals that would like to advance into the fields of Penetration Tester, Vulnerability Tester, Security Analyst II, Vulnerability Assessment Analyst, Network Security Operations or Application Security Vulnerability positions. That said, it’s a good course for anyone interested in learning more about the five CompTIA PenTest+ domains, or plan to sit for the CompTIA PenTest+ certification exam.
The CompTIA PenTest+ exam consists of a maximum of 85 multiple choice and performance-based questions. This exam is unique as it also requires candidates to demonstrate their hands-on ability to test devices in new environments, including the cloud and mobile as well as traditional desktops and servers. The length of the test is 165 minutes and a passing score is 750 or higher (on a scale of 100 – 900). The exam assesses the most up-to-date penetration testing, vulnerability assessment and management skills required to determine the resiliency of the network against attacks.
You’ll receive an exam voucher from your instructor while you’re in class. You’ll use that voucher to sit for the exam at a PSI testing center. You’ll take the exam on a computer (not paper), and you’ll see immediately whether you passed or failed, though you won’t get your exact score until a week or so later. If you pass, you’ll get instructions on what to do next.
Your CompTIA PenTest+ certification is good for three years from the date you pass the exam. You can extend your certification in three-year intervals through continuing education or certification-specific activities and training.
