Questions About the Track
What is in the Offensive Security Track?
Two 6-week courses. Weeks 1 to 6 are application security: web applications, APIs, Android apps and thick-client applications. Weeks 7 to 12 are advanced network and Active Directory penetration testing. Each is a 90-hour course taught 3 hours a day, Monday to Friday, and each includes a module on AI: AI application security, then AI-assisted testing and reporting.
Is SOC and DFIR part of the track?
No. SOC and DFIR is an optional 6-week course at ₹20,000 + GST, sold on its own and the usual starting point for a fresher. It covers the core concepts of EC-Council's CCT, CSA, ECIH and CHFI.
Can I take just one of the courses?
Yes. Each course is 6 weeks and ₹20,000 + GST on its own. The track (both courses) costs ₹30,000 + 18% GST (₹35,400 in total), against ₹40,000 + GST for the two courses bought separately.
Do the courses run in a fixed order?
Each course runs its own batches, so you can start the track with whichever course begins next. We recommend Application Security before Network and Active Directory (advanced); if you start with the network course, admissions first checks you have the command-line, networking and scripting basics it needs. Dates are on the upcoming batch schedule page.
What do I need before I start?
Basic networking (IP addresses, ports, DNS), the Linux command line and how websites work. Freshers without this can start with the SOC and DFIR course, or take any course on its own. Bring a laptop with 16 GB RAM minimum; 32 GB is recommended to run the full lab at home.
I am a fresher. Where should I start?
Freshers can take any course on its own. Most start with SOC and DFIR, which begins with networking and security fundamentals, then join the track. If you already know networking, Linux and how websites work, you can start the track directly.
What credential do I receive?
Hacking Trainer course certificates. They are issued by Hacking Trainer and are not EC-Council certifications.
Can I add an EC-Council certification?
Yes. We help you enroll for any EC-Council certification, and each one has its own fee on its page (for example CEH v13 and CPENT AI). Each EC-Council certification fee includes one exam attempt. The track fee does not include an exam voucher. Ask admissions for the combined price in writing. BERRY9 IT SERVICES PRIVATE LIMITED, the parent company of Hacking Trainer Academy, has been an EC-Council Accredited Training Center (ATC) since 2015.
Can I attend online?
Yes. You can train in our Ameerpet classroom or join live online sessions. Confirm the mode of your batch when you inquire.

The Offensive Security Track costs ₹30,000 + 18% GST (₹35,400 in total). A single course costs ₹20,000 + GST.
How long is the cybersecurity course?
12 weeks and 180 supervised hours: two 6-week courses of 90 hours each, 3 hours a day, Monday to Friday. Each course on its own is 6 weeks.
Which is the best cybersecurity course for freshers?
The best course starts from the basics, gives you supervised lab practice and work you can show, and lets you try it first. For most freshers that is our SOC and DFIR course. Compare institutes with our checklist and attend trial classes before you pay.
Can I join after B.Tech, BCA, B.Sc or MCA?
Yes. Graduates of any of these can join. Start with SOC and DFIR if you are new to networking and Linux; see our guide for freshers.
