SOFTENANT TECHNOLOGIES · ETHICAL HACKING LEARNING GUIDE
Ethical Hacking Course Duration in Vizag: 3-Month Plan
The Ethical Hacking course at Softenant Technologies runs for 3 months and costs Rs. 16,000, with online and offline classes in Visakhapatnam. Three months describes the training period; your progress also depends on foundations, attendance, revision and practice.
A suggested three-month study plan
The plan below is an independent study guide to discuss with your trainer. It is not the actual batch calendar, a promise of weekly teaching hours, or a guarantee of professional mastery.
| Study phase | Focus | Milestone |
|---|---|---|
| Month 1: foundations | Scope, TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, Linux files, users and permissions. | Explain a browser request and produce a one-page lab scope. |
| Month 2: testing workflow | Service observations, vulnerability validation, web access controls and tool interpretation. | Complete a lab inventory and one evidence-backed finding. |
| Month 3: reporting and revision | Impact, remediation, retesting, portfolio editing and interview practice. | Present a concise report and explain one false-positive decision. |
Plan revision around tasks you can finish
For each topic, reserve a learning session, a practice session and a review session. Choose a manageable exercise rather than counting videos watched. After a Linux session, explain the permissions on a sample file. After a web lesson, describe a request, response and session cookie in your own words.
Keep a log with date, objective, observed result, uncertainty and next action. A failed exercise can still be useful evidence when you document the cause and correction. Revisit earlier work after a week to check whether you can repeat the explanation without copying notes.
How to decide whether you need more foundation time
Before a testing lab, check whether you understand the approved target, basic protocol flow and expected behaviour. If you cannot explain what a tool output means, repeat the relevant foundation exercise and ask for clarification. A beginner may need more revision than an experienced Linux administrator even when both attend the same three-month course.
Online versus offline attendance
Offline learners should confirm travel time to Akkayyapalem, classroom timings and the lab schedule. Online learners should confirm meeting times, equipment requirements and how to get help with exercises. Both formats are available, but batch dates, recordings and independent lab-access hours need confirmation.
Check the full fee before enrolling
The confirmed training fee is Rs. 16,000. Ask for the payment schedule, applicable taxes, any separately charged lab access and whether external certification exams are included or charged separately. Do not assume that a training fee includes an EC-Council exam voucher.
What should be ready by the end?
A useful beginner milestone is a small portfolio: approved scope, service inventory, a web-security finding, remediation notes and a retest explanation. Present the environment and limitations honestly. This demonstrates a learning foundation; independent professional assessments require experience and appropriate oversight.
For additional web practice, the PortSwigger Web Security Academy offers training materials and interactive labs. Use the permitted lab environment and study a topic that matches your current level.
