PWPA — Practical Web Pentest Associate
TCM Security's entry-level web application pentesting certification — 100% practical 2-day exam followed by 2 days to write a professional pentest report, reviewed by human graders. Training included, one free retake, never expires. At $249 it's excellent value as a first practical web security credential. The report-writing requirement is a genuine differentiator from flag-only alternatives and develops the professional communication skills that separate practitioners from hobbyists. Natural stepping stone to PWPP and then BSCP or OSWE.
