The exam fee buys you one attempt at the Offensive Security Certified Professional. Everything else on your path to certification, revision material included, sits outside this price, and that is where most of the budget of a certification actually goes.
Note from the vendor record: OffSec now brands the credential OSCP+ on its product page. Course/lab bundles are priced separately (Course + Cert USD 1,749). Mandatory cooling-off after failed attempts: 4 weeks, then 8, then 12. The report must be uploaded within 24 hours or the exam is not graded.
