OffSec · OSCP
The benchmark hands-on pentest cert; proves you can compromise real machines in a 24-hour practical exam.
Official digital record
Use the certificate QR code or the holder's official digital credential link. OffSec uses Accredible records. For older certificates without a QR code, follow OffSec's verification request procedure. Check OSCP and OSCP+ validity separately.
If your award has a public Credly badge, you can import its URL. CertSprout automatically checks supported Credly and Microsoft Learn records. Provider-site lookups and manually attached links do not automatically mark a credential verified. A public record confirms the award; it does not prove the signed-in user owns it.
