Preparation step one for the Burp Suite Certified Practitioner exam
Summary: PortSwigger's first preparation step for the Burp Suite Certified Practitioner exam is to work through a listed set of labs in order, completing each one in turn. There is no set time frame, but candidates must be able to finish each lab without access to the provided solutions, and are told to return to the learning materials and work through all labs in a topic if they get stuck.
What's compelling: The exam's own prep guidance makes solution-free completion of every listed lab the bar, so a team member's readiness is measured by whether they can exploit each vulnerability class unaided rather than by time spent studying.
