PenTest Ops Program – Offensive Cybersecurity Training

The Pentest Ops Program is a 3-month course of study that will focus on three complete certifications:

CompTIA PenTest+, EC-Council CEH, and CompTIA SecurityX.

Step Up Your Game with CompTIA PenTest+

In the PenTest Ops Program, you will dive into study for the CompTIA PenTest+ certification, the industry's leading penetration testing certification and a powerful way to show potential employers you can think and operate like an attacker. During your 40 hours of live instruction, available on weekdays, evenings, or weekends via Zoom, you will learn Engagement Management, Reconnaissance and Enumeration, Vulnerability Discovery and Analysis, Attacks and Exploits, and Post-Exploitation and Lateral Movement. You'll then continue with independent study guided by a Cyberkraft Senior Instructor, working through study materials, hands-on labs, and practice exams in the official CompTIA Learn+Labs environment to gain experience with the same tools professional penetration testers use in real engagements. Once you are ready, you will take the exam using a pre-paid voucher backed by our First Time Pass Guarantee.

Become an Ethical Hacker with EC-Council CEH

In the PenTest Ops Program, you will also learn material for the EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification. This 40-hour training has sessions available on weekdays, weekends, or evenings, and a Cyberkraft Senior Instructor will help you choose the session that works best for your schedule. You will learn the skills needed by an ethical hacker including Footprinting and Reconnaissance, Scanning and Enumeration, System Hacking, Malware Threats, Web Application and Wireless Attacks, and Cloud and IoT Security. After the live training, your Senior Instructor will direct your study through hands-on labs, practice exams, and study materials, and once you are prepared, you will take the exam using a pre-paid voucher backed by our First Time Pass Guarantee.

Earn the Master-Level Certification in Cybersecurity: CompTIA SecurityX

In the PenTest Ops Program, you'll cap your training by earning CompTIA's master-level cybersecurity certification, the CompTIA SecurityX. As CompTIA's highest-level certification, SecurityX establishes you as an expert practitioner, someone who doesn't just understand advanced security concepts but can architect, engineer, and implement them in complex enterprise environments. Unlike management-focused certifications, SecurityX proves you have the advanced hands-on skills to actually do the work, which is exactly what hiring managers are looking for in senior technical roles. It is also approved under the DoD 8140 directive, qualifying you for advanced cybersecurity positions across the Department of Defense and federal contracting. These roles are commonly filled by SecurityX-certified professionals: Security Architect, Senior Security Engineer, SOC Manager, Cyber Risk Analyst, Senior Penetration Tester, Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO), and Cybersecurity Program Manager. With SecurityX completing your PenTest Ops certification stack, you'll be fully equipped to step into senior technical roles as a top earner.

Graduate with Three Elite Offensive Security Certifications

By the time you complete the Cyberkraft PenTest Ops Program, you will have earned three of the most in-demand certifications for professionals building careers in penetration testing and offensive security. A Senior Instructor will be assigned to you to act as a guide through this entire program. They will help you identify next steps, schedule live training sessions, and direct you on how to work through additional study materials, so you can go into your test days feeling confident and well-prepared. In addition to the Official CompTIA Learn+Labs resources, all PenTest Ops students will also have access to instructor led study sessions, Cyberkraft practice questions and exams, software demonstrations, the Cyberkraft Exam Preparation Masterclass, the Cyberkraft Alumni Program, career and resume writing assistance, and lifetime access to all course materials on the Cyberkraft website.

This Program is Right For You If...

You're ready to leverage your hard-earned military experience.

The discipline, mission focus, and technical training you developed in uniform translate directly into offensive security. Penetration testing rewards the operator’s mindset, and employers across the private sector and DoD are actively recruiting veterans for red team and pentest roles.

You're looking for a stable and high-paying career.

Penetration testers are among the highest-paid professionals in cybersecurity, and demand keeps climbing as organizations shift from reactive defense to proactive security testing. Certified offensive security professionals command top salaries in an industry projected to grow 33% over the next ten years.

You enjoy working with computers.

If you love figuring out how systems work, and how they break, penetration testing turns that curiosity into a career. Businesses and government agencies pay certified professionals to legally hack their networks, find the weaknesses, and help fix them before real attackers strike.
