It is aimed at those preparing for the OSCP certification exam (Offensive Security Professional Certification), one of the most requested certifications in the Offensive Security job market.

With the pandemic, the course that was previously taught in person, some time later also joined the online and remote mode. As part of this transition, Offensive Security has released ‘OffSec Academy‘, a 13-week online course to prepare students for OSCP certification.

The new platform called ‘OffSec Live’ will use Twitch to broadcast the lives. “OffSec Live is our attempt to take the best of OffSec Academy, such as our learnings from the educational paths of successful students, and make them available to all students,” the announcement reads.
