The class takes you from knowing nothing at all to being able to write
an exploit. It should get you in a position to be able to use the
Metasploit framework in an effective manner and hopefully, you'll be
able to take the next step and start writing Metasploit modules. We
get you to the point where you understand the nuts and bolts of
exploitation, you should be able to read the actual exploit code in
Metasploit modules and know exactly what is happening.

I think the natural progression would be to start writing custom
Metasploit based attacks instead of just running what you get with the
Metasploit distribution.

Absolutely, I get to share a double-wide cube with Pusscat everyday :D
