Our social commitment

A school kit donated to a child for every training

To fight inequalities in access to education, Learni donates a complete school kit to a child in need for every training booked. You build your skills, a child heads back to school.

  • Backpack, notebooks and essential supplies
  • Distributed through our partner charities
  • Included, at no extra cost to you

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Program

Module 1Fundamentals: Introduction to Penetration Testing 2026 (Kali Linux tools, OSSTMM methodologies)

Discover the essential principles of penetration testing 2026 through interactive presentations and guided exercises on Kali Linux. Explore the reconnaissance and scanning phases with Nmap, practice analyzing open ports on dedicated virtual machines, produce an initial report of potential vulnerabilities, and consolidate your knowledge with practical quizzes to anchor the basics of professional cybersecurity.

Module 2Enumeration: Advanced Techniques in Penetration Testing 2026 (Enum4linux, Metasploit tools)

Dive into active and passive enumeration in penetration testing 2026. Use Enum4linux to map SMB services, deploy Metasploit to test simple exploits on secure labs, analyze DNS responses with Dig and Host, perform controlled brute-force attacks, and generate structured deliverables including screenshots and detailed logs for immediate pedagogical feedback.

Module 3Exploitation: Practical Attacks in Penetration Testing 2026 (Buffer Overflow exploits, reverse shells)

Master the exploitation of vulnerabilities in the context of penetration testing 2026. Set up vulnerable environments with DVWA, execute simulated buffer overflows and obtain reverse shells via Meterpreter, test custom payloads on Windows and Linux, document each step with precise timestamps, and assess potential impact on corporate infrastructures through real-world case studies adapted for beginners.

Module 4Post-Exploitation: Maintaining Access in Penetration Testing 2026 (Meterpreter persistence, pivoting)

Explore the post-exploitation phases of penetration testing 2026. Install persistent backdoors with Meterpreter, practice network pivoting to reach internal segments, collect credentials via Mimikatz in a controlled environment, simulate privilege escalations on Active Directory, produce an intermediate report quantifying risks, and strengthen your skills through collaborative workshops in small groups.

Module 5Reports and Remediation: Closing Penetration Testing 2026 (Dradis templates, best practices)

Finalize your penetration testing 2026 training by writing professional reports with Dradis, prioritize findings via CVSS scoring, propose concrete remediations for identified vulnerabilities, present your tests orally to a simulated jury, review tools via a final hackathon, receive a certifying attestation validating your new corporate skills, and plan personalized cybersecurity monitoring.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

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.
