Penetration testing

About PenTest+

CompTIA PenTest+ validates the ability to identify, mitigate, and report system vulnerabilities. It targets professionals advancing as penetration testers or security consultants, covering all stages of penetration testing across modern attack surfaces including cloud, web applications, APIs, and IoT.

  • Engagement management: scoping, legal/ethical compliance, reporting
  • Reconnaissance and enumeration (OSINT, Nmap, Wireshark)
  • Vulnerability discovery and analysis (Nessus, OpenVAS)
  • Attacks and exploits: network, web app, cloud, and AI-focused techniques
  • Post-exploitation and lateral movement

Purchase Options (7)

CompTIA mixes and matches a handful of building blocks — CertMaster Learn (the course), CertMaster Labs (hands-on practice), CertMaster Practice (a final readiness check), CertMaster Study (a textbook-style guide), CertMaster Perform (Learn + Labs combined), and the exam Voucher itself — into the packages below. Buy Now takes you to secure Stripe checkout; CRS training ops will redeem your CompTIA license and email you within 1 business day.

CertMaster Study

V3

A traditional, fully illustrated study guide (eBook and print) — reference-style content for learners who prefer a textbook to interactive eLearning.

$120

R 1 802

CertMaster Labs

V3

Hands-on virtual lab environments mapped directly to exam objectives — practice by doing rather than reading. Sold on its own for learners who already have the theory and want practical repetition, or bundled with CertMaster Learn.

$161

R 2 410

CertMaster Practice

V3

An adaptive practice-question engine that confirms strong areas and flags weak ones. This is a final readiness check used after Learn and/or Labs, not a way to learn new material.

$169

R 2 531

Voucher

The exam booking code only — pays for and books your exam attempt at a testing center or online proctor. Includes no training content.

$355

R 5 326

CertMaster Learn

V3

The self-paced eLearning course — readings, instructional videos, quizzes, flashcards, and a guided study plan covering every exam objective. This is what teaches the material; it does not include hands-on labs or the exam itself.

$485

R 7 270

CertMaster Perform

V3

CompTIA's most comprehensive single product — eLearning, hands-on labs, and live virtual machine environments combined into one integrated course, covering learning through to practical skills development in one purchase.

$574

R 8 606

Complete Bundle with Voucher Plus Retake Assurance

V3

The full package — every training component, your exam booking, and a free retake if you need it. The most comprehensive single option CRS sells for this certification.

$1,092
