Learning objectives

  • Master the fundamentals of penetration testing in a professional certifying training
  • Develop practical skills to identify business network vulnerabilities
  • Configure and use essential pentest tools for secure audits
  • Implement ethical intrusion tests tailored to professional needs
  • Optimize security reports for effective team communication
  • Acquire certifying penetration testing skills to boost your career

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 1Introduction to Penetration Testing: Theoretical Foundations and Passive Reconnaissance (Nmap tools, OSINT reconnaissance)

Discover the principles of professional penetration testing through real-world attack cases, configure your remote Kali Linux lab environment, perform passive scans with Nmap and Maltego to map a target network without alerting, analyze results to identify potential entry points, produce an initial reconnaissance report, practical exercises on vulnerable virtual machines to solidify novice skills.

Module 2Active Penetration Testing: Scanning and Enumeration (Nessus, OpenVAS, SMB enumeration)

Dive into active scanning with Nessus and OpenVAS to detect known vulnerabilities, enumerate services and users with Enum4linux and Nikto on simulated targets, interpret priority CVEs in a business context, practice dictionary attacks with Metasploit, generate custom alerts, consolidate findings in an interactive dashboard, strengthening remote secure audit skills.

Module 3Exploitation in Penetration Testing: Gaining Access (Metasploit, Buffer Overflow Basics)

Learn to exploit common vulnerabilities with Metasploit Framework on EternalBlue and Heartbleed exploits, simulate simple buffer overflows in a controlled environment, obtain reverse shells on Windows and Linux, post-exploit to escalate privileges via Meterpreter, document each step for a professional report, pair exercises for immersive training, apply to real business scenarios.

Module 4Post-Exploitation Penetration Testing: Persistence and Pivoting (Cobalt Strike tools, network pivoting)

Master access persistence with scripts and backdoors, pivot through the network via SSH tunneling and Proxychains, collect credentials with Mimikatz and hashdump, simulate lateral movement in multi-machine labs, analyze traces for AV evasion, produce a certifying remediation plan, intensive remote practices for lasting professional security skills.

Module 5Reporting and Best Practices in Penetration Testing: Synthesis and Certification (report templates, legal aspects)

Synthesize audits into executive reports with Dradis and custom templates, present findings to a virtual panel, discuss Rules of Engagement and legal aspects of pentesting in business, review OWASP and MITRE ATT&CK best practices, take a certifying quiz to validate novice skills, obtain Qualiopi attestation, plan future upskilling with post-training resources.

Methods, materials and delivery

The Training Penetration Testing - Mastering the Basics to Secure Networks program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training Penetration Testing - Mastering the Basics to Secure Networks program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training Penetration Testing - Mastering the Basics to Secure Networks program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Registration is possible up to 48 business hours before the start of training. All our programs are built for corporate L&D budgets and delivered onsite or remotely.

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.
