PenTest+ Training Course

Ascend Education's CompTIA PenTest+ course maps to the CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-002 certification exam. This is a cybersecurity course, where students come away being able to assess current penetration testing as well as perform vulnerability assessments. They develop the skills necessary to determine the resiliency of the network and ward off attacks. At the end of this course, students demonstrate a hands-on ability to test devices in cloud and mobile environments, along with traditional desktops and servers. Some of the job titles for these professionals include vulnerability tester, penetration tester, vulnerability assessment analyst, and network security operations. Ascend Education is a CompTIA Authorized Partner.
