Frequently asked questions - Burp Suite Certified Practitioner
Summary: PortSwigger's Burp Suite Certified Practitioner exam requires a valid, active Burp Suite Professional license at the time of the exam and cannot be completed with Burp Suite Community Edition or any other testing toolkit. Candidates must use a project file that PortSwigger may request up to a week after the exam to confirm the certificate or investigate reported issues, and the exam is open book with no option to pause or reset once the timer starts.
What you should know: The certification is explicitly a test of skill with one commercial product, and PortSwigger retains the right to pull the project file up to a week later to verify the result - so the exam record, not just the score, is subject to review.
