Previously called the Social Engineering Pentest Professional (SEPP). Certified Ethical Social Engineer (CESE) is the only practical social engineering certification that proves you have mastered the science and practical side of SE. By using real humans in this certification, the students have to apply all the skills learned in Fundamental Application of Social Engineering (FASE) and Practical Application of Social Engineering (PASE) to walk away with this badge of honor. You can also attempt this certification directly if you feel you already possess the skills needed.
