Membership & Maintenance Requirements
When does my access start and how long does it last?
- AMP: Access starts on your purchase date and lasts one year. Subscription auto-renews unless cancelled.
- AMF: Access starts on purchase and is tied to your eligible certification(s)—it co-terminates with the yearly anniversary of your expiring cert’s expiration date.
Is AMP or AMF required every year to maintain certification?
- No, but it is highly recommended if you wish to maintain your OffSec certification validity via the CPE program.
- You must have AMP or AMF coverage for each year of your 3-year certification cycle to stay eligible. If you join late, you must purchase coverage for any missed years.
Example:
If you passed your certification in 2025 and only purchase AMF or AMP in 2027, you must also pay for:
• 2025–2026 (Year 1)
• 2026–2027 (Year 2)
• 2027–2028 (Year 3)
How does the maintenance fee work for multiple certifications?
- You only need one active AMP or AMF per year, regardless of how many expiring certifications you hold.
- The maintenance period is aligned with the anniversary of your first expiring certification; new certifications added later are grouped under the same maintenance cycle.
- Paying the fee ensures that all your supported OffSec certifications are kept active and in good standing.
Eligibility & Purchasing
Who is eligible to purchase AMP or AMF?
- AMP: Any individual learners can purchase AMP if listed in your Buy More page. Access benefits are determined by your purchase history.
- AMF: Any individual learners with eligible expiring certifications may purchase AMF, as displayed in the Buy More page.
Important:
- Organizational full admins are not currently able to purchase AMP or AMF directly through the platform.
I’m eligible to purchase AMP or AMF. How do I purchase it?
If you are eligible to purchase AMP or AMF, please go to the Buy More page in your OffSec Learning account to complete your purchase.
If you run into any issues or need help, please reach out to OffSec support.
I'm an organization admin with an expiring certification, but I don't see the AMF or AMP on the Buy More page. How can I purchase it?
The AMF or AMF is available for personal purchase through the Buy More page on the OffSec Learning Platform. This offer is open to individual learners, sub-admins as well as those who have enrolled in any course via an invite from their organization’s admin.
Please note that this membership is not available to those with full admin permissions at this time. If you're an organization full admin and would like to purchase a membership for yourself, please contact our support team at orders@offsec.com for assistance.
Access to Course Materials
How do my previous purchases affect AMP course material access?
- Course & Cert Exam Bundle – Access to the main course materials and videos
-
Previous 30/60/90-day packages or PWK365 – Access to the main course materials and videos for applicable main courses in our current offerings
- Note: This does not apply to PEN-210
- Learn One – Access to the main course materials and videos, excluding 100-level courses
- OffSec CyberCore – Access to the main course materials for SJD-100 and SEC-100
When determining course material access under AMP, we also consider previous qualifying purchases, including eligible historical purchases. Refunded purchases are not eligible.
Please note the following exclusions:
- Retired products such as EXP-312 and CTP are not provisioned through AMP
- If you previously had access through Learn Unlimited or Learn Enterprise, then later purchase AMP, you will not be provisioned course materials based on that prior Learn Unlimited or Learn Enterprise access
- Complimentary access, Learn Enterprise trials, and Academy products do not qualify for course material access through AMP
It is also important to note that AMP only considers eligible purchases made before the AMP purchase date. Purchases made after AMP is activated do not extend or enhance AMP course material access.
Example:
- If you purchased a 30-day PWK in 2015 and Learn One with PEN-300 in 2025, AMP grants access to the main course materials for both PEN-200 and PEN-300
- If you purchase AMP on April 1, 2026, then buy a PEN-200 Course & Cert Exam Bundle on April 5, 2026, AMP does not extend PEN-200 course material access beyond the Course & Cert Exam Bundle’s own access period
What about rotating labs and practice content?
All AMP subscribers (regardless of previous course purchases) receive access to:
- A selection of rotating Grimoires, and CPE-eligible hands-on content
- PG Practice labs
Does AMF include training materials?
No. AMF is designed to support credential renewal and maintenance that allows professionals to stay current in their field.
