PT1 is a well-designed certification that truly tests your thoroughness and methodology. The AppSec section stood out as my favorite, demanding patience, precision, and a structured approach.

Mathias DetmersSecurity Analyst

SAL1 is an excellent starting point for anyone looking to show their competency in SOC fundamentals. The hands-on training simulations validate learners not only understand core SOC concepts but can also apply them in practice.

I like that we use the SIEM practically to answer questions as it makes it more interactive. I also liked the report writing as I really had to think about what to write... it felt ‘real’.

Suliman TadrosSOC Analyst

Overall, I think SAL2 is a solid and well-designed exam. It’s very realistic and reflects quite well what we actually do in an MSSP environment. I think it’s a strong and practical certification.

Pablo Menendez CoresSOC Analyst

I genuinely believe this is currently the strongest starting point for AI cybersecurity. I would strongly recommend beginning with this certification before specializing further into other AI certifications.

FAQs

Do certifications include learning resources, or just the exam?

Every TryHackMe certification has a learning path mapped directly to the exam objectives, so you know exactly what to study and where to practise it hands-on. The certification purchase covers your exam voucher and a free retake. The training itself lives on the TryHackMe platform and is available with a Premium subscription. So if you’re already a member, you’re ready to start preparing. You’re never left to piece together a study plan from scratch.

How are TryHackMe certifications priced?

Each certification is a one-off purchase that includes the exam. Prices vary by certification and are shown in your local currency on this page. You can also bundle related certifications together to progress along a pathway at a lower combined price.

What makes TryHackMe certifications different?

Our certifications are fully hands-on. Instead of multiple-choice theory, you work through realistic scenarios in live environments and are assessed on what you can actually do. They are built with industry-leading professionals and mapped to recognised frameworks, so they reflect the skills employers test for.

Are the exams proctored?

No. Exams are practical, hands-on assessments completed in the browser at your own pace within the allotted time. You demonstrate your skills by solving real tasks in a controlled lab environment rather than sitting a traditional proctored test.

What happens if a team member doesn’t pass?

Every certification includes a free retake, so a learner who doesn’t pass on their first attempt can review the relevant material and try again at no extra cost. They keep access to the learning path to strengthen any gaps before re-attempting the exam.

Can we track certification progress and results across our team?

Yes. With a TryHackMe for Business plan, managers get team dashboards to assign certifications, monitor learning-path progress, and view exam results across the team, making it easy to measure readiness and skill development at scale.
