PTIA — arcX Practitioner Threat Intelligence Analyst
arcX's practitioner-level CTI credential, awarded on passing the final exam of the ~17-hour 'Cyber Threat Intelligence Practitioner' course (~£300/~$380). Course content is validated by CREST to cover the full CREST Practitioner Threat Intelligence Analyst (CPTIA) syllabus — making arcX PTIA the primary route to prepare for the externally proctored CREST CPTIA exam at Pearson VUE. Covers all six CREST PTIA syllabus appendices: Key Concepts, Direction & Review, Data Collection, Data Analysis, Product Dissemination, and Legal & Ethical considerations. Includes practical micro-exercises and longer research projects. Unproctored on-platform exam, lifetime validity, no renewal required. The arcX PTIA is a vendor credential — practitioners targeting CREST recognition should follow up with the separate CREST CPTIA examination.
