Yes. You can attend 3 to 5 real classes of a running batch free before you pay. It is not a special demo lecture: you meet the trainer, use the lab and can talk to current students.

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. 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.

The Offensive Security Track costs ₹30,000 + 18% GST (₹35,400 in total) for both courses. You can pay for the track in full or in two installments, and the installment schedule is confirmed in writing at enrollment. Each course costs ₹20,000 + GST on its own (₹40,000 + GST for the two track courses bought separately), including the optional SOC and DFIR course. EC-Council certification fees are listed on their own pages.

Cancel before your batch starts and you get your fee back, less a ₹1,000 processing fee. In the first 5 class days you get back the part for classes not yet held, less the same fee. After that there is no refund, but you can move once to a later batch within 12 months. If we cancel or move your batch and the new date does not suit you, you get a full refund. The full terms are on our refund and cancellation policy page.

For the track: 180 supervised hours over 12 weeks, a personal lab you keep, two course assessments, CTF challenges in every course, six assessed reports, Hacking Trainer course certificates, resume, LinkedIn and mock-interview support, and 12 months of review access with free backup classes. The certificates are issued by Hacking Trainer and are not EC-Council certifications.

Weekday batches run Monday to Friday in four three-hour slots: 8:30 to 11:30 AM, 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM, 2:30 to 5:30 PM and 5:30 to 8:30 PM IST.

Yes. BERRY9 IT SERVICES PRIVATE LIMITED, the parent company of Hacking Trainer Academy, has been an EC-Council Accredited Training Center (ATC) since 2015. We help students prepare for and enroll in EC-Council certifications such as CEH, CPENT, CND and CSA, and others on request. Each EC-Council certification fee includes one exam attempt. Fees and exam facts are on each certification page.

Every student in every course gets CTF challenges to practice under time pressure. After completing their course, a few selected trained candidates are offered an unpaid internship of 3 to 6 months. It is by selection, so it is not part of enrollment, not guaranteed, and not a job offer.

We do not provide job placement or placement assistance. What we give you is the skill, six graded reports you can show an employer, and interview preparation: resume and LinkedIn review and mock technical interviews. Applying for jobs is up to you, and the hiring decision belongs to the employer.

Basic computer literacy is enough for the program: it begins with networking and Linux, and weekend sessions are available for catch-up. The advanced EC-Council courses expect security or IT experience. A counselor can tell you where to start.
