Examinations (PWK/OSCP)

Since completing the 'end of year' examinations at the half way point of my degree, I have begun the process of completing Offensive Security's PWK course, with the intention of taking the OSCP exam at the end of the summer.

Offensive Security require any individual taking the PWK course to remain 'tight lipped' with regards to the detail of the course and the associated labs. That said, I feel compelled to write about the quality of the course so far.

I will soon reach the end of the PWK guided course material, at which point I will begin the 'lab' section of the process. I have so far found the course material to be exceptional. The course itself covers a broad range of disciplines in a concise and methodical way, with a mixture of videos and a course hand book. Both of which are very well produced and provide an excellent resource.

I had heard and read a great deal about the PWK course and OSCP certification prior to beginning it, most, if not all of which, was extremely positive; I am pleased to state that I wholeheartedly concur.

I now look forward to completing the rest of the course/labs. I intend to be fully prepared as I approach the OSCP examination and I anticipate that it will (happily) continue to consume a substantial amount of my time; leaving little room for extracurricular activities, such as writing posts!..

All in the true spirit of trying harder.
