VAPT Training in Hyderabad

VAPT is vulnerability assessment and penetration testing: finding weaknesses in applications and networks, proving which ones matter, and reporting them so they get fixed. Our 12-week VAPT Track teaches it hands-on, in Ameerpet or live online, and it starts from the fundamentals.

What VAPT Means

VAPT stands for vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. An assessment finds and ranks weaknesses, usually with scanners and configuration checks. A penetration test goes further: with written permission, a tester tries to use those weaknesses the way an attacker would, and shows what the impact is. Companies often buy both together and receive one VAPT report. Our guide What is VAPT? explains the difference.

The VAPT Track: 12 Weeks, Two Courses in Order

The VAPT Track (earlier called the Offensive Security Track) is two 6-week courses, 90 guided hours each, taken in order: Application Security in weeks 1 to 6 and Network and Active Directory in weeks 7 to 12. That is 180 guided hours in all. You can also take either course on its own for ₹20,000 + GST. Both start from Linux, Windows and networking fundamentals, so you do not need a security background.

  • Capstone assessment (9 hours)

Reports: Where VAPT Work Is Judged

A VAPT engagement ends in a report: what was found, how to reproduce it, how serious it is and how to fix it. On the track you write six assessed reports, and each finding carries evidence, impact and a fix. See the sample graded report and how to write a penetration testing report.

Who the VAPT Track Suits

  • Developers and testers who want to find the flaws they are asked to fix.
  • Network and IT engineers who want to move into penetration testing.
  • Graduates and freshers who are ready to practise every week. If you prefer defending and investigating, see the SOC Analyst and DFIR course instead.

Stay Inside the Law

Testing a system without written permission is an offense in India, whatever your intent. The course starts with scope and authorization, and all practice is on labs you build and run yourself. Read is ethical hacking legal in India.

What We Will Not Tell You

  • That you will get a job. We do not provide placement and cannot promise one. We teach the skills and the report writing, and we help with interview preparation.
  • That a certificate does the work. Our course certificates are issued by Hacking Trainer, not by EC-Council. If you also want an EC-Council credential such as CEH or CPENT AI, it is a separate fee; see the certifications.
  • That VAPT can be learned by watching. Every class is recorded, but the skill comes from practice in the lab.

Fees, Format and the Free Trial

The VAPT Track is ₹30,000 + GST (₹35,400 in total) for both courses, or ₹20,000 + GST for one.

Common Questions

Is VAPT the same as ethical hacking?

They overlap. VAPT is the professional service: assessment plus testing, with a written report. Ethical hacking is the wider term for attacking systems with permission. The track teaches the testing and the reporting.

How long is the VAPT course?

The VAPT Track is 12 weeks and 180 guided hours: two 6-week courses, Application Security and then Network and Active Directory. Each course can also be taken alone.

What is the VAPT course fee?

The VAPT Track is ₹30,000 + GST for both courses, and each course alone is ₹20,000 + GST. EC-Council exam vouchers are separate.

Do I need coding or networking knowledge first?

No. Each course starts with Linux, Windows and networking fundamentals. You will read code and write small scripts, but you do not need to be a developer.

Can I attend the VAPT course online?

Yes. Online batches run at 7:30 AM and 7:30 PM IST, open to students in India and the US, and a hybrid class runs at 11 AM. Every class is recorded.

Do you guarantee a job after VAPT training?

No. We do not provide placement or promise a job. We teach the skills, grade your reports and help with interview preparation.

Was the VAPT Track called something else?

Yes. It was called the Offensive Security Track. The courses, hours and fee are the same.
