CPTS guides & walkthroughs

The CPTS is a practical certification page on this site that gathers our CPTS-related preparation products in one place. It explains what we sell for CPTS candidates, what each product contains, and how the report component fits into exam preparation. The page is intended for candidates who are preparing for the CPTS exam and want structured support for their written report.

What do the CPTS products on this page include?

We list three products for CPTS candidates. The CPTS Text Report ($99.00) is a written report resource. The HTB CPTS Exam Report ($150.00) is a further report product aimed at the CPTS exam context. The CPTS Report Review & Consultation ($800.00) is the highest-priced option and combines a review of your report with a consultation.

Each product is a preparation aid. None of them replaces your own work during the exam, and none of them promises a particular outcome. Read the description of each product before buying so you choose the format that matches the stage you are at.

How should you use a CPTS report product in your preparation?

Start by reading the report guidance already on this page, then compare it with your own draft. A text report gives you a reference structure and wording you can study. A review and consultation gives you feedback on the report you have written.

• Use the text report to understand how findings are organised and explained.
• Use the exam report product alongside your own practice attempts.
• Use the review and consultation when you want direct feedback on a draft.

Work through the sections on this page about the report and about turning technical findings into business risk before you buy. Those sections explain the reasoning the report products support. You can also browse our certifications index to see how CPTS sits alongside other vendor pages.

Where can you find free reports and refund details?

We publish retired exam reports you can download at no cost; the section on this page explains how to get them. Reading a retired report is a sensible first step before paying for any product, because it shows you the expected shape of a CPTS report.

If you are unsure whether a product suits you, check the refund policy before purchase. Digital products and consultation services have terms you should read in advance. You can also visit our downloads page for available files.
