Frequently Asked Questions

Achieving the CPSA certification demonstrates that you are qualified for hands-on penetration testing roles, typically indicative of at least two years of experience. Furthermore, if you already hold the OffSec Certified Professional (OSCP) certification, passing the CPSA provides a pathway to the CREST Registered Tester (CRT), a distinguished certification recognized by governments and organizations worldwide when hiring or engaging penetration testers.

The CPSA assessment covers a wide range of technical domains, including:
  • Core Technical Skills (PT002)
  • Internet Information Gathering and Reconnaissance (PT003)
  • Networks (PT004)
  • Network Services (PT005)
  • Microsoft Windows Security Assessment (PT007)
  • Linux/UNIX Security Assessment (PT007)
  • Web Technologies (PT008)
  • Databases (PT009)

Our platform provides a comprehensive question bank of over 1,000 questions, helping candidates consistently pass the CPSA Examination. With 99.9% uptime and a mobile-friendly interface, you can prepare anywhere, anytime. Explanations accompany every answer, enabling you to reinforce concepts and improve your readiness with confidence.

We offer a dynamic pool of over 1,000 questions that has helped many candidates successfully pass the CPSA certification assessment. Each simulation or practice session is unique — questions are randomized to ensure fresh challenges each time. However, success also depends on your ability to absorb, apply, and understand the assessed concepts. While our platform is a powerful preparation tool, outcomes ultimately vary by individual effort.

Do not simply memorize answers. Candidates have failed because they relied on rote memorization instead of understanding the underlying concepts. This platform is designed to strengthen your conceptual understanding of each domain. Use it to practice critical thinking, not just recall.
