From Entry to Expertise: Two Automotive Pentesting Certifications

EVH Level 1 "Explorer" with TÜV Rheinland Certified Qualification

Level 1 is your entry point into automotive hacking. This isn't about security basics — it's about understanding how to attack vehicle systems.

The focus is on the classic attack surfaces inside the vehicle:

  • ECUs and their interfaces
  • Vehicle networks (e.g., CAN, diagnostics)
  • Communication paths between components

The goal: being able to follow an attack end-to-end. Where do you get in? How do you move through the system? Which vulnerabilities are typical?

The training (2× 4h) delivers exactly that — compact and hands-on. Successfully passing the TÜV Rheinland exam formally confirms to the certificate holder a solid foundational understanding of vehicle penetration testing.

EVH Level 2 "Professional" with TÜV Rheinland Certified Qualification

Level 2 takes the next step: from understanding to proven execution. No more pure explanation mode — here, we attack.

You'll work through concrete automotive scenarios:

  • Analyze real systems
  • Uncover attack vectors and vulnerabilities
  • Execute attacks technically

The training (6× 4h) is hands-on from the start — with targeted exercises and practical training tasks instead of front-of-the-room lectures.

The decisive difference in the certification process: before the exam comes the hands-on CTF assessment. If you want in, you deliver first — within 14 days, in realistic scenarios that probe exactly the skills you trained. Not on paper. Technically.

Only those who pass get access to the TÜV Rheinland exam.

Ò_ó About the CTF Challenge as Part of the Personal Certification (L2 only)

The TÜV Rheinland certification following the EVH Level 2 "Professional" training (6× 4h) is designed to prove real-world, hands-on skills. That's why the included CTF challenge isn't a nice-to-have. It's the gatekeeper.

Participants work through realistic automotive scenarios: analyzing systems, identifying vulnerabilities, executing attacks.

FAQ on the BreachLabz /Ethical/ Vehicle Hacking Trainings with TÜV Rheinland Personal Certification

Do I need to take the training first?

Yes. The certification builds on it.

Can I jump straight into Level 2?

Going directly into the Level 2 training and then straight into the matching Level 2 certification is possible. Heads up though: relevant prior experience is recommended. The real test is the CTF.

What happens if I don't pass the CTF?

No admission to the exam. A new attempt is required. (Fee applies!)

What sets this apart from other certifications?

The sequence. Practice first. Exam second.

Is it all multiple choice?

Only the second part. The first one is technical. (In Level 2.) Level 1 = multiple choice only, yes.

How can I prepare for the exam?

Over on the learning platform (CYEQT Knowledge Base), where the live trainings are booked, there's a practice assessment. Optional, but helpful.
