CEH CERTIFICATION PATH

WHAT IS TESTED

Prospective certificate holders are tested in the following knowledge areas:

• System Development & Management

• System Analysis & Audits

• Security Testing/Vulnerabilities
• Reporting

• Mitigation

• Ethics

PREPARATION

A pentester has two options how to prepare for a CEH examination: official training and
self-study.

The EC-Council offers instructor-led and online training sessions. The instructor-led

training is conducted in accredited training centers, and the online version is based on
iClass platform. The five-day course includes 18 modules covering 270 attack scenarios

and costs either $850 (for US citizens) or $885 (for international students). After the

course, an applicant continues self-education with the access to EC-Council
laboratories. The overall preparation for CEH certification lasts for one year since the

enrollment.

To take CEH examination without attending a dedicated training session, the candidate
should have 2+ years of information security-related experience and a relevant

educational background. In addition, such candidates are required to pay a non-
refundable application fee of $100.
