Overview

CompTIA PenTest+ certifies the ability to run a penetration test end to end: scoping and rules of engagement, reconnaissance and enumeration, vulnerability discovery and analysis, exploitation, post-exploitation and lateral movement, and finally a report the client can act on. The PT0-003 version, released in late 2024, covers networks, web applications, cloud, Active Directory environments and mobile applications, and gives more room to automation and modern tooling.

In Morocco, demand for penetration testing is growing as organisations mature: banks and insurers subject to Bank Al-Maghrib and ACAPS requirements, public bodies and critical infrastructure operators covered by Law 05-20 and DGSSI-framed audits, and consulting firms and nearshoring centres auditing European clients. PenTest+ stands out for the weight it gives to the legal framework, engagement management and reporting — skills Moroccan clients expect just as much as technical expertise.

Our 5-day (35-hour) course follows the five official PT0-003 exam domains and is built around hands-on labs with industry-standard tools (Nmap, Burp Suite, Metasploit, Active Directory tooling and more). It runs in class in Casablanca or Rabat, or as a live virtual classroom, and the exam voucher is included in the price.

Who is it for?

  • Junior penetration testers who want to structure and validate their practice
  • Security+ holders moving into offensive security

  • Identify, analyse and prioritise vulnerabilities across networks, web applications, cloud and Active Directory environments
