Two Ways to Learn

  • Practical option: the Offensive Security Track, 12 weeks for ₹30,000 + GST. Application security (web, API, Android, thick client), then advanced network and Active Directory testing, built around scoping, validation and reporting.
  • Individual courses: Application Security and advanced Network and Active Directory penetration testing, each 6 weeks at ₹20,000 + GST.
  • EC-Council route, step 1: CEH v13. The methodology and tools of ethical hacking across 20 modules.
  • Step 2: WAHS. Web application and API security testing, source code review and secure coding.
  • Step 3: CPENT AI. Advanced penetration testing in hands-on cyber range environments, with exploit writing and AI-assisted techniques.

What the Advanced EC-Council Certification (CPENT AI) Adds

Our two penetration testing courses cover web, API, Android and thick-client applications, networks and Active Directory. CPENT AI is an EC-Council credential with a fully practical exam, and it covers areas our courses do not:

  • Testing IoT and OT/SCADA systems
  • Bypassing filtered networks and defensive controls in depth
  • Writing exploits, not only adapting them
  • A recognized, exam-based credential

Penetration Testing Versus Vulnerability Assessment

A vulnerability assessment finds and ranks known weaknesses, usually with scanners. A penetration test goes further: a skilled tester tries to chain weaknesses together, with permission, to show real impact. VAPT combines both, and a good report matters as much as the technical work.

Who This Is For

CEH suits beginners and intermediate learners. WAHS and CPENT AI are advanced courses for security consultants, penetration testers, red team members, application security testers and developers who want to understand attacks.

Practice Legally

All testing happens in authorized lab and cyber range environments. Testing real systems without written permission can be a criminal offense, so we teach scope and authorization from the start.

Six Questions to Ask Any Cyber Security Institute

Compare us properly and do not take anyone's word for it. Ask us every one of these, and ask every other institute too.

Who issues the certificate?

An institute completion certificate and an EC-Council certification are different things. Ask which you receive, and whether the exam voucher and any retake are included. Our parent company, BERRY9 IT SERVICES PRIVATE LIMITED, has been an EC-Council Accredited Training Center since 2015: ask us for the accreditation details.

What exactly is in the fee?

Tax, courseware, lab access, voucher and retakes should all be stated in writing before you pay.

How long do I get lab access?

Hands-on time is what turns a certificate into a skill. Ask for the lab access period and what happens if you miss a session.

Who is teaching me?

Ask for the instructor's name and background, and ask to see an example of graded work.

What is the withdrawal and refund policy?

It should be written down and acknowledged before you pay, not explained verbally afterward.

Do you offer placement?

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.

Common Questions

What is the difference between CEH and CPENT?

CEH teaches the breadth of ethical hacking and suits beginners and intermediate learners. CPENT AI is an advanced, hands-on course in professional penetration testing.

Which course covers web application testing?

WAHS covers the OWASP Top 10, API security, source code review and secure coding. CEH also includes web application attacks.

Can a fresher become a penetration tester?

Yes, with solid fundamentals and plenty of practice, though penetration testing roles more often ask for some experience than SOC roles do. A common route is networking and Linux basics (or our SOC and DFIR course), then the Offensive Security Track, then specialization.

Is the advanced course hands-on?

Yes. CPENT AI is built around hands-on challenge labs.
