Does Learn One include the OffSec Cyber Range?

No, OffSec Cyber Range is only available through the Learn Enterprise subscription.

Can I purchase or select SEC-100  or SJD-100 as my course for Learn One subscription?

No. SEC-100 or SJD-100 is not available for selection as part of the Learn One subscription. It can be purchased as a standalone course or can be accessed through Learn Unlimited and Learn Enterprise subscription.

Does Learn One include live classes?

Learn One is built only for the online training and it does not include access to any live training classes like AWE (EXP-401).

Can Learn One learners take the OSEE exam?

The OSEE exam is offered only to learners who have taken the live AWE classes, therefore, the OSEE certification is not included in Learn One.

I have an active lab, what will happen to my access if I purchase the Learn One subscription?

When a learner purchases the Learn One subscription for the same course as their active lab, they forfeit whatever time is left of the old still active lab access and any remaining exam attempt. From the moment the payment is submitted for the Learn One subscription, the learner will have 365 days of consecutive lab access.

If the active lab belongs to a different course from the one purchased via the Learn One subscription, the already active lab will not be impacted. The learner will have access to 365 days of consecutive lab access to the new course and whatever time is left from the already active lab access for the other course.

I’m still in my first year of a Learn One subscription and have already passed my exam for my selected course. Can I switch to a different course within the same subscription period?

Each Learn One subscription allows you to select one primary course per 1-year subscription period. This course selection is fixed for the entire year and includes access to the course content and two exam attempts for your chosen course.

If you are still in your first subscription year and have already completed and passed the exam for your selected course, you cannot switch to a different course during the remainder of that same subscription period.

✅ What are my options?

  • Option 1: Wait for Renewal
    You can wait until your current subscription ends. When you renew for your second year, you’ll have the option to choose a new course as your primary course for the new subscription term.
  • Option 2: Request Early Termination
    If you prefer to switch courses sooner, you may request to end your current subscription early. This would allow you to purchase a new Learn One subscription and select a new primary course. Please note that any remaining time or access from your current subscription will be forfeited once it’s terminated.

Can I have multiple Learn One subscriptions running at the same time for different courses?

No, a learner can only have one (1) Learn One subscription running at any given time. If you wish to access multiple courses, we recommend purchasing the Learn Unlimited subscription via our training consultants.

I do not have time to dedicate to my studies now, can I pause my running Learn One subscription?

When purchasing a subscription, your access to the content will start from the moment you submitted the payment and completed your registration.

Once the Learn One subscription has started, the access to course content will run in a consecutive block of time which cannot be paused for any reason.

Can I download the training materials for the courses I have access to through the Learn One subscription?

Starting January 10th, 2022, course material downloads are available for the Learn One subscription. For more information and instructions on how to download the course materials, please see:

When do the exam attempts expire?

Exam attempts purchased as part of the Learn One subscription will expire at the end of the subscription period.

Is there a cooling off period between exams?

Yes, there is a cooling off period. For more details, please visit our Exam Retake Policy.

Failing an exam for one course will have no impact on the cooling off period of the exams for the rest of the courses included in the Learn One subscription.

If you require additional retakes, you can learn how to purchase more here.

I've already passed the OSWP exam before purchasing Learn One. Can I transfer the OSWP exam attempt to one of the other courses?

None of the items purchased as part of the Learn One subscription can be refunded, exchanged or transferred. Any unused items will be voided at the end of the subscription period.

Can I upgrade my subscription from Learn One to Learn Unlimited?

If you subscribed to Learn One via an invite, yes, you have the option to upgrade your subscription to Learn Unlimited. To upgrade, kindly have your master admin reach out to their Sales representative.

Please visit the License Upgrade FAQ page for more information.

Can I upgrade from an individual course package to the Learn One subscription?

At this time, an upgrade path from individual course packages to subscriptions does not exist. You are however able to purchase the Learn One subscription plan, at the full price, once your current lab access ends.

I have purchased the Learn One subscription via your training consultants, how can I access the course content?

If you are set as the admin for the Learn One subscription that was purchased, please view How to Manage Individual Products.

Flex admins can find instructions on how to assign a Learn One subscription here.

If someone else purchased the product and you received an invitation, you can find further instructions here.

Can multiple individuals share the same subscription license?

Subscriptions are purchased on a per individual user basis. Login credentials may not be shared among individuals, groups, or teams or with third parties. A breach of the foregoing is a material breach of the Terms. Similar to learners who share their course materials, learners who share their login credentials will receive a lifetime ban from any future courses or offerings by OffSec and may even have their certification(s) revoked. Depending on the nature of the offense, learners may also face legal repercussions.

Am I able to purchase a lab extension when my subscription expires? 

The 30-day lab extension may not be applied to Learn One. The lab extensions are only available to learners who purchased the course and cert exam bundle.

As an example, if you purchased a course and cert exam bundle (ie. PEN-200 / PWK 90 day course bundle) prior to purchasing Learn One subscription, then you are able to purchase a lab extension for PEN-200. 

If you only purchased a Learn One subscription, then you will not be able to purchase a lab extension.

Am I able to purchase an exam retake after my subscription expires? 

Absolutely! You can still purchase an exam retake after your subscription expires. 

NOTE: Even if your subscription is still active but you have already used up the exam attempts included in your subscription, you can still purchase an exam retake for the exams that are included in your Learn One product. 

Please also be reminded that all exam retakes are subject to the cooling off period.
