What Is The Enterprise Penetration Testing Learning Path?
The Enterprise Penetration Testing Learning Path is a structured route from beginner to professional pentester. It bundles three certifications that track your growth as your skills build, so you always know the next step and can prove your progress at every stage. You start with the technical foundations, move into the offensive skills that define the work, and finish with the reporting and communication skills a real engagement demands. The path also includes additional courses you won’t get with the certification vouchers on their own.

Who Should Pursue the Enterprise Penetration Testing Learning Path?
This path is for you if:

- You’re in IT or an adjacent technical role and ready to move into pentesting
- You want practical, employer-recognized credentials, not another multiple-choice exam
Take the First Step to Penetration Tester
We recommend working through the path in this order, building toward each certification as you go, but you’re free to take the courses and exams in whatever sequence works for you. You get 79 hours of training across twelve courses, plus all three exams.
More than the certs alone. The path includes additional courses that don’t come with the certification vouchers on their own, so you get the full foundation and the extras that round out a working pentester, not just exam prep. Asterisks indicate extra course content that is only available in the TCM Academy and not included with the traditional certification training packages.
