Start your career in Cyber with the
Penetration Testing Bundle
Five hands-on programs across three levels — built to take you from no cybersecurity experience to one of the most in-demand offensive roles in the field. Real tools, live systems, City & Guilds certification.
Overview
The Standard Entry-Bundle takes you from zero to job-ready Penetration Tester through five structured programs across three levels. No prior background required. You'll build foundations in networking, Linux and Python, then move into network research and a full penetration-testing workflow — reconnaissance, exploitation, privilege escalation and reporting — every step executed against live systems inside Cyberium Arena, the way real engagements are run.
A complete path into offensive security.

The role you're training for
Penetration testers are the people organizations pay to break in before real attackers do. Demand is climbing as regulation turns offensive testing from optional to mandatory (PCI DSS 4.0, DORA, NIS2), the market expands at double-digit rates, and skilled testers stay in short supply. Training for the Pen Tester role isn't just a course — it's entry into one of the best-paid, fastest-growing corners of cybersecurity.
Penetration Tester — one of the most in-demand roles in cybersecurity worldwide.

THE NUMBERS
Cheaper than the foundation courses alone.
Bought one by one, the three Level-1 courses already cost more than the entire five-program bundle — before you even add network research and penetration testing.
Certifications
This bundle is five programs, and each one is individually eligible for its own City & Guilds Assured certification — five separate, internationally recognised credentials, not a single bundle certificate. You earn each by passing a proctored, hands-on scenario exam, and every certificate is employer-verifiable with a unique code, proving real capability rather than attendance.
Individually certifiable:
XE101 and/or XE103 and/or XE105 and/or NX201 and/or ZX301
Delivery & Assessment
Conceptual instruction paired with hands-on labs on real tools — Nmap, Metasploit, Msfvenom, Meterpreter, Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP — all inside Cyberium Arena.
You'll complete practical exercises, run live attack scenarios and demonstrate competency through skills assessments at each level.
Most students complete the bundle in 6–9 months studying regularly.
// Where you'll do all of this
You won't watch this.
You'll run it live.
Every module above is executed inside Cyberium Arena — real tools on real nodes, deployed on the live internet, with live threat intelligence running from your first login. Not a sandbox. Not a VM. Not a video.
