CPENT Program by EC-Council | Licensed Penetration Tester
The Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT AI) program is the world’s most comprehensive guided penetration testing program. It offers a complete hands-on pentesting methodology and AI techniques mapped to all pentesting phases. CPENT AI enables you to master pentesting within an enterprise network environment, evaluating intrusion risks and compiling actionable, structured reports. Distinguish yourself with the CPENT AI, learning beyond technical knowledge—scoping engagements, understanding design, estimating effort, and presenting findings—and thrive as a leader in offensive security with versatile skills. CPENT AI combines guided learning with hands-on practice while immersing you in diverse live scenarios involving IoT systems, segmented networks, and advanced defenses, with practical challenges mapped to each domain. Gain expertise in advanced skills necessary to create your tools, conduct advanced binary exploitation, double pivot, customize scripts, and write your exploits to penetrate the deepest pockets of the network.
Everyone learns differently, so we offer on-demand, live, and several other options to customize your training based on your learning style. Build your package below.

The heart of the CPENT program is all about helping students master their pen test skills by putting them to use on our live cyber ranges. The CPENT ranges were designed to be dynamic in order to give students a real-world training program, so just as targets and technology continue to change in live networks, both the CPENT practice and exam ranges will mimic this reality as our team of engineers continues to add targets and defenses throughout the CPENT course’s lifetime.
