OSCP and OSCP+ Exam Voucher (PEN-200): What You Pay For and How to Judge a Discount

Quick answer: An OSCP voucher usually means an exam attempt bundled with PEN-200 course and lab access, a retake, or a discount code. OffSec sets prices and changes packages, so check its page. Buy only from OffSec or an authorised partner, confirm exactly what is discounted, and avoid second-hand codes because they are tied to accounts and can be revoked.

Key takeaways

  • A voucher can mean a bundle, a retake or a code, so ask what is discounted.
  • OSCP+ is valid for three years, so plan the renewal cost too.
  • Buy from OffSec or an authorised partner and get an invoice.
  • Practise only on your own systems or legal labs, as the IT Act requires authorisation.

What is an "OSCP voucher" actually?

OSCP is the certification, and PEN-200 (Penetration Testing with Kali Linux) is the course behind it. OffSec, the company that runs both, sells the course, lab access and exam attempt in packages. A "voucher" in everyday speech usually means one of three things: an exam attempt bundled with the course, a retake, or a discount code. Search results mix all three, which is why many pages promise "50% off" without saying what is discounted.

This article does not quote a price or a discount. OffSec changes its packages and subscription options from time to time, and a figure printed here could be wrong by the time you read it. Check the live prices on OffSec's PEN-200 page before you pay anyone.

What are you paying for?

ItemWhat it gives you
PEN-200 course materialWritten modules and videos on enumeration, web attacks, privilege escalation, Active Directory and reporting
Lab accessA fixed period of access to practice machines and challenge labs
Exam attemptOne sitting of the OSCP exam, a practical test of roughly 24 hours followed by a written report
RetakeA new attempt if you do not pass, normally bought separately

The exam is practical. You are given machines to compromise and must submit a professional report afterwards. Pass marks and machine counts are set by OffSec and can change, so read the current exam guide on their site.

OSCP and OSCP+: the difference that matters

OffSec introduced OSCP+ in late 2024. A candidate who passes the exam now earns OSCP+, which is valid for three years and is renewed by passing a newer OffSec exam or earning another qualifying certification. The original OSCP title earned before the change does not expire. If you are budgeting for the exam, budget for the renewal cost three years later as well, and confirm the renewal rules on OffSec's site.

How do you judge any discount offer?

  1. Ask who is selling. OffSec sells directly, and it also works with authorised training partners. A reseller should be able to show that status. Anyone offering a "cheap voucher code" through social media should be treated as a possible scam.
  2. Ask what exactly is discounted. Course only, course plus exam, or a retake? A discount on the lab alone is not a discount on the exam.
  3. Check the expiry. Lab time starts when your access begins, and an exam attempt has its own validity window.
  4. Never buy a second-hand code. Codes are tied to an account. A resold or shared code can be revoked and your money is gone.
  5. Get it in writing. You want an invoice naming the product, the price paid and the terms.

Is the exam worth preparing for first?

A voucher saves money, but preparation saves attempts. Before buying lab time, be comfortable with Linux and Windows command lines, basic networking, a scripting language such as Python or Bash, and tools such as Nmap. Practise only on systems you own or on legal lab platforms. Attacking anyone else's system without written permission is an offence under the IT Act, 2000. Our guide to passing PEN-200 at the first attempt covers the preparation side.

Where WebAsha fits

WebAsha Technologies runs instructor-led OSCP preparation. Whether it can supply discounted OffSec products on a given date is a commercial matter that changes, so ask the admissions team for the current terms in writing rather than relying on this page.

Next steps

Read the exam guide on OffSec's site, build a short practice plan, then compare offers using the checklist above. For structured preparation, see the OSCP course and the post on OSCP lab and exam vouchers. If CEH is on your list too, read about CEH exam vouchers.
