In this video, I share my honest experience taking the eJPT (eLearnSecurity Junior Penetration Tester) exam — what went well, what I struggled with, and what I wish I had done differently before exam day.
If you’re studying for the eJPT or thinking about getting into penetration testing, this video is meant to give you realistic expectations from someone who recently took the exam.
In this video, I cover:
What the eJPT exam environment is actually like
Areas I underestimated during the exam
Mistakes I made and lessons learned
How CTF-style labs compare to a real pentest-style exam
Who I think the eJPT is (and isn’t) a good fit for
My background:
I’m a cybersecurity professional transitioning deeper into offensive security, with hands-on experience from labs, CTFs, and real-world security work. This video is not sponsored and reflects my personal experience with the exam.
If you found this helpful, feel free to like the video and subscribe — I’ll be documenting my journey through penetration testing, labs, certifications, and hands-on projects.
Let me know in the comments if you’re preparing for the eJPT or have questions you’d like me to cover in future videos.
