What is Learn Unlimited?
Learn Unlimited is a yearly subscription that provides access to the Proving Grounds (Play and Practice), all the 100, 200 and 300-level training materials and labs, and unlimited exam attempts to the corresponding courses (OSCP, OSDA, OSWA, OSWP, KLCP, OSWE, OSEP, OSED, OSMR, OSTH and OSIR).
It also provides access to SEC-100: CyberCore - Security Essentials, including unlimited OSCC exam attempts, as long as your Learn Unlimited access remains active.
Is Learn Unlimited only for advanced security people?
Learn Unlimited is for learners of all levels, from IT literate to advanced cyber operators.
Entry level members can start with the fundamental programs, which are built to provide the skills and confidence necessary to take on more advanced material.
Does Learn Unlimited include OffSec Cyber Range machines with unlimited use?
No, OffSec Cyber Range is only available through the Learn Enterprise subscription.
Does Learn Unlimited include live classes?
Learn Unlimited is built only for the online training and it does not include access to any live training classes.
Can Learn Unlimited 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 Unlimited.
I do not have time to dedicate to my studies now, can I pause my running Learn Unlimited subscription?
Once the Learn Unlimited subscription has started, the access to course content will run in a consecutive block of time, and cannot be paused for any reason.
Can I download the training materials for the courses I have access to through the Learn Unlimited subscription?
Learners who purchase Learn Unlimited can request downloadable course materials for up to three courses of their choice.
For more information and instructions on how to download the course materials, please see:
- Course material download FAQ
- How to Download Course Materials from the Training Library
- Downloads in Subscriptions announcement
Is there a cooling off period between exams?
Yes, however, Learn Unlimited learners receive a reduced cooling off period.
Learners who are using the Learn Unlimited subscription may schedule and reattempt an exam for the same course as follows:
- After the 1st failed exam, a learner may schedule an exam retake after 2 weeks from their previous exam date.
- After the 2nd failed exam, a learner may schedule an exam retake after 4 weeks from their previous exam date.
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 Unlimited subscription.
How can I purchase the Learn Unlimited subscription?
If you haven’t purchased any product directly with OffSec in the past and are interested in purchasing the Learn Unlimited subscription for personal use, please submit a request here. After completing a purchase via our training consultants, you will also be able to purchase additional licenses via the Buy More button on your Learning library admin account.
Looking at purchasing Learn Unlimited for your team?
You can purchase between two to nine (2-9) licenses directly on our website. Information and instructions can be found here.
Should you need more than 10 licenses, please submit a request and one of our training consultants will get in touch with you to assist you further.
I have purchased the Learn Unlimited subscription, how can I access the course content?
If you are set as the admin for the Learn Unlimited subscription that was purchased, please view How to Manage Individual Products.
Flex admins can find instructions on how to assign a Learn Unlimited subscription here.
If someone else purchased the product and you received an invitation, you can find further instructions here.
I am currently enrolled to an individual course/subscribed to Learn One, what happens to my access when I will get assigned with Learn Unlimited?
When a learner activates a Learn Unlimited subscription, they forfeit whatever time is left of the existing active lab access. The new Learn Unlimited access starts at the start date predetermined during purchase and will be available until the end of the subscription.
I have just upgraded my previous subscription to Learn Unlimited, will I have access to all the courses until a year from my upgrade date?
If you upgraded via an individual license, you will have access to the courses for the remaining time of your subscription as subscription start and end dates for individual licenses remain the same.
If you upgraded via Flex account, you will have access to the courses for a year from your upgrade date.
Please visit the License Upgrade FAQ page for more information.
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 Unlimited. 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 bundle) prior to purchasing Learn Unlimited subscription, then you are able to purchase a lab extension for PEN-200.
If you only purchased a Learn Unlimited subscription, then you will not be able to purchase a lab extension.
Am I able to purchase an exam retake after my subscription expires?
Individual exam retakes are not available for purchase during or after the end of a Learn Unlimited subscription.
While having a Learn Unlimited subscription, the number of exam attempts that you have is also unlimited until you pass the certification exam or until your subscription ends.
Should you wish to attempt any certification exams after the end of a Learn Unlimited subscription, you have the following option:
- Extend your Learn Unlimited access - this option will enable you to attempt any certification exam (as long as you haven't passed it yet) for the duration of the Learn Unlimited access.
- Purchase a Course and Cert Exam bundle - along with giving you 90 days of course and lab access, this option will enable you to select one primary course and certification you are interested in and attempt the exam once. The exam will be available for 120 days past your lab end date.
- Purchase a Learn One subscription - similar to the Course and Cert Exam bundle, this option will enable you to select one primary course and certification you are interested in and attempt the exam twice. On top of that, the Learn one subscription will come with 1 year of course and lab access to your selected course, introductory content and PG practice. This option also allows you to attempt the OSWP and KLCP exams once. The exam attempts will be available for the duration of the Learn One subscription.
- Purchase a Standalone OffSec Certification Exam - Available exclusively for OSCP+. This includes two exam attempts, valid for 120 days from the purchase date.
Note that all exams are subject to a cooling off period.
