chrisone

For those that are interested, elearnsecurity is coming out with v2 of their web app pentesting extreme course. I understand many here were not impressed with v1. So let’s see what the syllabus shows in version 2. Like all new elearnsecurity courses, there will be new sign up discounts and upgrade discounts from v1 to v2.

Inexperienced opinion:
The course looks very detailed and extensive with 60+ hands on labs. The discounts range from 20% for new course offering, 30% for current students, & I believe 40-50% (guessing here) for current WAPTX v1 course holders aka upgrade.
I want to buy this course but my current reality (bills, current cert goals, precious time, work responsibilities "which are not web pentesting related") and what I have on my plate will not let me work on this until very very late 2021 possibly early 2022.

Course looks very thorough! Congrats to any of you pursuing it!

Wow that's a great deal!

It is a great deal but I am not falling for this again, I think if you have no time to complete the course this year then just leave it.

I have a huge backlog of training that I may never finish, so I'm trying hard not to buy anything else for awhile. But if you do have the bandwidth, this is a great deal.

They will probably have a new version in 3 years and offer the same level of discounts to new students.

Ain't this the truth! Lol. I have PTPv5 and XDSv1 waiting for me. I'm really resisting the urge to hoard this one too.

Yet to look at the syllabus and compare, but I guess WAPTXv2 is now equivalent or at least a good preparation for OffSec's AWAE.
