Wow, we seriously had the most busy days of our company's history!
Anyway, let's answer some questions from current students:
1) 50% OFF for the eCPPT Gold voucher expired yesterday
2) 50% OFF for the WAPT course will expire on May 31st

Now about the lab access:


With the on-demand model you have hours instead of days meaning that you can use that amount of time at any time in the future.

There's no activation at all.

The Flat plan allows you the regular 60/90/120 days access to labs, where you have unlimited access for that amount of consecutive days.
In this case you are allowed 90 days to begin using them, so there's an actication deadline.

Hope this clarifies tha matter

WAPT is live: http://www.elearnsecurity.com/course/web_application_penetration_testing

Ahhh!
Now it's clear!
Of course there will be bundle pricing at discounted rate if you get both the Pro AND the WAPT altogether (at the same time).

Thanks for the opportunity to clarify this.

@shadow Did you attend our Pro v2 course already? If you want a discount on eCPPT I guess no? Then what are your repaying twice?
Can you please elaborate this more sot that I can understand?

Other than that, there's a chance to get this course at discounted rate for all our previous students and even for non-students if they are in the early bird list.

I understand people likes discounts but the quality of the courses we are offering, the plans, flexibility and labs are worth much much more their current prices. I'm sure all of the students here on the forum will agree on this.

Since you are all interested in knowing more about this new release, feel free to join me on this webinar on April 29th 1PM EDT:

https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/571727142

At the end of the event we will open and early bird discounted registrations!

Only few days left to know that. 
Current students will have some days to get a bank loan and buy the Ferrari (just kidding...)

In any case, for students and non students, the first few days or hours will be really discounted.

Yes!

All labs in Coliseum are closely integrated with the syllabus.
(see the attached screenshot and the upper right corner icon with the lab ID referenced to practice that particular topic).

Coliseum will be available in On-demand model (hours) starting from this release (29th). There will be plenty of time given with the basic package as well

Unlimited labs is impossible. It's serious stuff, not a virtual machine 

Final eWPT certification exam will be done on Hera, using the exact same process we are using with eCPPT but different targets and objectives. So it's impossible to get confused

This is a launch price discounted by 30% for the ones in the pre-launch list.

All our courses and labs are already priced 50% their market value  
With the new ECPPT Gold voucher being included in all Professional course plans we will increase prices in the next few weeks as well (no kidding).

Unless you are a good pentester already, I advise you to practice both in Coliseum (Web App) and Hera (Network/System).
Manual testing skills for both Web App and exploit dev are necessary.

You can also practice on Hack.me for free if you already possess the fundamental web app testing skills.

Hope this helps

Even more now that is Gold 

I think Don will have  something to say about this very soon  

We've got a nice chat with Yuck, and you can find my clarification above.

@H1t Absolutely not offended. I reacted in a sarcastic way but let me elaborate more on this because I think it's an interesting point that goes beyond our product or our certification.

In order to explain my point I'd use a question:
"What is your client expecting from you when he pays for your pentesting services?"

That you simply get root?
OR maybe...that you find ALL of the vulns, exploit them, give an impact, hand out a professional report?

This is my difference between Hacking and Pentesting.
Pentesting is much much more difficult because it involves getting root and much more.

Don't get me wrong. Last time in a webinar I was the one saying hacking is beautiful and can tell you there were some people in the audience sneezing or getting irritated. *I love hacking*

BUT with our certification we are attempting to bring our students from *just* Hacking to Professional penetration tester.

So :
1) You have to find all vulns
2) You have to build your own exploit *to get root*
3) You have to report it professionally

In our ECPPT exam you do ALL of the above 3 steps :
1) Against a real world scenario of a corporate network (with routed workstations, servers, firewalls...)
2) in VPN

So as you can see getting root is part of the game but not just that.

Having that said, Hera is the place where we will conduct the exam and it's an environment where you get entirely routed complex networks ONLY for you spawned in seconds. It's real unique stuff.

Now I think I clarified my point and, at some extent, you will probably agree with me.

I apologize if I sounded too sarcastic.
I'm a nice guy usually 

P.S. This in no way intends to be a comparison between what others do and what we do. It's simply what we do. Kudos to any company bringing quality on the table.

Hello all
Thanks to all for the interest in our new Gold certification.  

It has been a long hard work to come up with a challenging scenario covering all main aspects of a modern pentest: web app + network + exploit development.

We believe you will love the challenge and the certification.

We have already notified our ECPPT Silver certified professionals who got a free voucher.

Tomorrow we will also give a FREE voucher to all the students of Professional v2 course with an active Silver voucher.

Starting from today we will also accept anyone wanting to attempt the certification exam without enrolling in our Professional training course.

This is our first step towards a complex certification development (and re-design) that will lead us to obtaining ISO 17024 in the near future.

Glad to answer any question you may have here.
