CPPJ overview

CPPJ is the Certified Professional Penetration Tester Junior hands-on learning path. It builds skills in enumeration, exploitation, privilege escalation, movement between segments and technical documentation inside authorized environments.

Review the curriculum, objectives and purchase options on the official Professional Junior Pentesting Course page.

Course access

CPPJ offers different lab tiers and exam options. Course practice is the same across tiers; the resources assigned to SpartanOps, their availability model and the included benefits differ.

Review the current product page and checkout summary before purchasing. They show the access period, included exam—when applicable—price and final conditions of your access.

Start the lab

1. Complete the purchase and open the course from your dashboard.
2. Follow the main action shown by the platform to enable access.
3. Prepare SpartanOps.
4. Open Tasks and follow the order available in the course.
5. Start a Task, work on its assigned target and submit its flags.
6. Review your progress.

Course structure, Task quantity and score are shown inside the course. You do not need to know internal platform codes to move forward.

Lab and exam are independent

Completing the lab does not automatically start the exam. Before beginning an attempt, review how an exam works and the CPPJ exam rules.

Danger

The machines are deliberately vulnerable. Work only on addresses assigned by the platform. Course Tasks may be documented publicly, but all exam content is confidential.
