Burp Suite certification prices hacked for Black Friday
Summary: PortSwigger ran its first Black Friday offer, selling the Burp Suite Certified Practitioner exam for $9 between 16 and 30 November 2021, with a full refund for anyone who bought and passed it before 15 December 2021. The exam process itself was unchanged, and candidates still needed an active Burp Suite Professional subscription, a PortSwigger account, and an Examity account to sit it.
Key Takeaway: The certification is built to test hands-on skill with Burp Suite Professional, so the $9 price cut widened the pool of candidates while the required paid subscription and the pass-before-15-December refund deadline kept the bar tied to demonstrated exploitation ability.
