Why this program matters

Without penetration testing mastery, 95% of breaches exploit undetected vulnerabilities, costing an average of 4,45 millions d'euros per incident according to IBM 2023.
IT teams lose 40% additional time correcting post-attack vulnerabilities, impacting productivity and company revenue.
70% of cybersecurity offers require pentest skills in 2024, sidelining untrained profiles from promotions.
Every quarter without training exposes companies to financial losses, GDPR fines up to 4% revenue, and lasting reputational damage against agile competitors.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Which tools are used in Penetration Testing training?+

Hands-on work runs on nmap, kali Linux Tools, metasploit, burp Suite and certified Reports. Those tools come from the Penetration Testing program itself, delivered on site over 3 days, so participants practise on the stack they will use at work.

What can participants do after Penetration Testing training?+

They can master the phases of penetration testing to assess professional risks, develop skills in reconnaissance and scanning of corporate networks and implement Kali Linux tools to detect certifiable vulnerabilities. Those are the stated objectives of the Penetration Testing program at Beginner level, checked by the end-of-session assessment.

What does the Penetration Testing program cover, day by day?+

Day 1: Penetration Testing Fundamentals: Reconnaissance and Scanning (Nmap, Kali Linux Tools). Day 2: Penetration Testing Exploitation: Web and Network Vulnerabilities (Metasploit, Burp Suite). Day 3: Post-Exploitation and Reporting in Penetration Testing: Persistence and Documentation (Certified Reports). The Penetration Testing program runs over 3 days, delivered on site.

How is Penetration Testing training assessed?+

Assessment relies on quiz to validate learning outcomes at the end of the training, continuous assessment through practical exercises and defense of the ongoing project before the trainer. Learni issues a completion certificate together with the individual assessment report at the end of the Penetration Testing program, which an L&D team can file as evidence.

How much does Penetration Testing training cost per participant?+
