FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the exam?
The exam environment permits five full days to simulate a
real pentest, though you can complete the engagement
objectives ahead of time.
You will have an additional two days to write a professional
report and submit it to our team.
How does the exam compare to other certifications?
In short, it really doesn’t. The exam was designed because
the industry is lacking in practical certifications. Some
certifications are multiple choice and do not test a student’s
technical skills. Other exams are hands on, but are not
realistic in time allotment or attack methodology. This exam
replicates a true pentest in both attack methodology and the
amount of time permitted to perform the test.

How difficult is the exam? Do you offer any discounts?

Everyone is different, however, we believe that:
If you are a beginner, the exam will be very difficult, and we
strongly recommend that you purchase the associated
training.
If you are a junior penetration tester, the exam will be difficult
and may require additional training.
If you are a mid to senior level pentester, the exam will be of
moderate difficulty.
Yes! We are veteran-owned and want to thank you for your
service.
We offer a 20% discount to current and former military as
well as first responders (Police, EMTs, Firefighters, Nurses,
Doctors, etc.), regardless of country. We also extend this
discount to students.
Please email certifications@tcm-sec.com with proof of first
responder status, such as a discharge form, ID, etc. and we
will issue you a coupon code to use on purchase. If you are a
student, please email us from a valid educational address or
provide proof of current enrollment.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

Is the provided training enough to pass the exam?
Yes. It was designed for student’s to pass the exam with
the training. The training is designed for students from
absolute beginner to moderate levels and will teach you
the skills necessary to be successful as a penetration
tester.
Is the exam proctored?
No. We do monitor network traffic in the exam
environment and have detection mechanisms in place
for cheating in the environment and the exam, but there
will be no proctor or intrusive software to install on your
machine.

Do you offer printed certifications?

In efforts to stay green, we do not offer printed

certifications. However, our certifications come in a high
quality printable format and you’re welcome to have
them printed on your own accord.
