Penetration testing is a simulated cyberattack performed to identify vulnerabilities in systems, networks, or applications before real attackers can exploit them.
Basic knowledge of networking and operating systems is helpful, but programming is not mandatory at the beginner level.
The duration is 2 months (8 weeks), with sessions held 2 times per week (either during week or weekends), including theory, hands-on practice and project work.
Yes, upon successful completion, you’ll receive a Certificate of Completion from Checkmate IT Tech.
Absolutely! Weekly assignments and a capstone project at the end of the training is included in the curriculum.
We offer online training classes to promote easy access to all candidates. Recordings are also made available for revision or if you miss a session.
Yes. We provide resume reviews, mock interviews, LinkedIn optimization, and guidance on job portals to help boost your chances in the job market.
Popular tools include Nmap for scanning, Metasploit for exploitation, and Wireshark for packet analysis.
Yes, but only when performed with proper authorization. Unauthorized testing is illegal and can lead to serious consequences.
