The Account Level Leaderboard is a new leaderboard experience that ranks learners based on the XP they earn on the OffSec platform.
It is designed to help learners track progress, compare rankings with peers, and celebrate learning momentum across different timeframes and regions.
What is the Account Level Leaderboard?
The Account Level Leaderboard ranks users based on earned XP within selected timeframes and filter views.
The Leaderboard ranks you against other OffSec learners worldwide based on the Experience Points (XP) you've earned across the entire platform. Unlike event-specific leaderboards, this one tracks your overall progression across all the hands-on content you've completed.
How rankings work
Users are ranked in descending order based on the amount of XP earned within the selected timeframe.
Available timeframe filters include:
| Filter | What it shows |
| All-Time | Lifetime XP earned |
| Year to Date | XP earned from January 1 of the current year |
| My Monthly | XP earned from the first day of the current month |
For All-Time rankings, users with the most lifetime XP will appear at the top.
"My monthly" rankings may highlight newer or highly active users who earned the most XP during that month.
If two users have the same XP, ranking is determined by who reached that XP milestone first.
How is ranking determined?
Ranking is by descending XP within whatever filter you've selected.
Who is included?
The leaderboard includes users who have earned XP across the platform.
Depending on available filters, users may be able to view rankings by:
| View | Description |
| Worldwide | Shows rankings across all applicable users globally |
| Country | Allows users to view rankings by country |
| Organization | Allows enterprise users to view rankings within their organization, when available |
Users who have earned XP may continue to appear on the All-Time leaderboard even if they are inactive or no longer actively accessing training. However, they would only appear in Monthly rankings if they earned XP during that month.
Where to see the leaderboard
The Account Level Leaderboard will be available in the platform on the left side menu “Leaderboard”.

The leaderboard is expected to show up to three certifications next to a username automatically picked from your top OffSec certifications in this order of importance:
OSEE → OSCE3 → OSEP → OSWE → OSED → OSCP → OSWA → OSDA → OSTH → OSIR → OSWP → OSCC-SJD → OSCC → KLCP
NOTE: Certifications do not currently add extra XP.
Need to Know
What makes someone eligible to appear on the leaderboard?
If you have an OffSec account, you're automatically on the leaderboard regardless of subscription tier. A user is eligible if they have earned XP.
Are inactive users included?

Will certifications appear on the leaderboard?
Yes. Certification icons may appear next to usernames.
How many certifications can appear?
The current design supports up to three certification icons per user.
Do certifications add XP?
No.
Will the top-ranked users always be those with the most XP?
