Why this program matters

  • Companies unprepared for security testing incur an average of 4,45 millions de dollars in losses per data incident.

  • Without solid bug bounty skills, developers and security teams leave critical vulnerabilities undetected, exposing the company to RGPD fines and loss of customer trust.

  • Professionals without this expertise see their employability stagnate against rising demand.

  • Acting now avoids these quantified risks and secures their positioning.

Program

Bug Bounty curriculum: 3 modules over 3 days

Module 1 : Theme: Discovering bug bounty and reconnaissance tools (Burp, Nmap, recon-ng)

Participants explore bug bounty platforms and rules of engagement. They practise passive and active reconnaissance with Burp Suite and Nmap on simulated targets, produce attack maps and draft their first structured reports. Real company case studies and progressive exercises help learners grasp the fundamentals of the profession.

Module 2 : Theme: Penetration testing and exploitation in bug bounty (SQLMap, Metasploit)

The day focuses on common OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. Learners use SQLMap and Metasploit to exploit flaws, automate scenarios and validate business impacts. Deliverables: detailed reports with evidence and recommendations tailored for companies.

Module 3 : Theme: Advanced reporting and bug bounty strategy (templates, follow-up)

Focus on writing certifiable reports and negotiating bounties. Participants simulate a complete programme, integrate tracking tools and present their findings. Final review with assessment of acquired skills and an individual action plan for professional practice.

How Bug Bounty skills are assessed

  • Multiple-choice quiz to validate learning at the end of each day

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Bug Bounty training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
