Certification
7ASecurity Certified Mobile Professional (Android & iOS course)
Following our training motto "all action, no fluff", the 7ASecurity Certified Mobile Professional (Android & iOS course) is one of the most practical and professionally oriented certifications you can obtain in mobile penetration testing. Instead of putting you through a series of multiple-choice questions, you will perform an audit of real Android and iOS apps. The exam process is modeled after real-world mobile application penetration tests where you will have limited time to perform the audit and send over a professionally written report.
Course Overview
This course is a 100% hands-on deep dive into the OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG) and relevant items of the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS), so this course covers and goes beyond the OWASP Mobile Top Ten.
Learn about Android, iOS and IoT app security by improving your mobile security testing kung-fu. Ideal for Penetration Testers, Mobile Developers and everybody interested in mobile app security.
All action, no fluff, improve your security analysis workflow and immediately apply these gained skills in your workplace, packed with exercises, extra mile challenges and CTF, self-paced and suitable for all skill levels, with continued education via unlimited email support and lifetime access to training portal with step-by-step video recordings and interesting apps to practice, including all future updates for free.

Expect & Not Expect
What to expect
A fully practical class that will seriously improve your mobile security knowledge and skills, regardless of the skill level you come in with.
Battle-tested tips and tricks that take your abilities to the next level and that you can apply as soon as you go back to your workplace, making security testing of mobile apps as efficient as possible.
Intensive hands-on exercises that challenge you to deep dive into the world of mobile security.
Lifetime access to training portal (including all future updates), unlimited email support, access to private groups to communicate with other students, mandated, police, IoT and otherwise interesting apps from various countries.
What not to expect
This is more than a usual online course: You get lifetime access to a training portal with step-by-step video recordings, slides and lab exercises, including all future updates for free.
The course does not cover: Android or iOS 0-day, exploits against the platforms themselves, ARM exploit writing, writing buffer or heap overflows.
Do not expect the teachers to be talking through slides most of the time: This class is practical not theoretical, the teachers don’t bore you with slides all the time, instead you do exercises all the time and the teachers help you solve the challenges you face as you complete them.
