The Certified Ethical Hacker certification is a highly sought-after cybersecurity qualification recognised globally.

This programme combines comprehensive instruction and hands-on practice to prepare students for both the CEH certification exam and the CEH Practical Exam. Candidates who successfully pass both examinations earn the CEH Master credential in addition to their standard CEH certification.

Students have the option to include either the CPENT or the CHFI course in their package.

Training for either the Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT) course or the Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) course is delivered to each student through EC-Council's online, self-paced, streaming video platform.

CPENT (Pen-test):
Teaches students how to apply the concepts and tools covered in the CEH programme within a live cyber range using a penetration testing methodology.

CHFI (Computer Forensics):
Provides students with a methodological approach to computer forensics, covering the search and seizure, chain-of-custody, acquisition, preservation, analysis, and reporting of digital evidence.

Course Description

CEH offers an in-depth understanding of ethical hacking phases, various attack vectors, and preventative countermeasures. It teaches you how hackers think and operate maliciously, enabling you to better position your security infrastructure to defend against future attacks. Understanding system weaknesses and vulnerabilities helps organisations strengthen their security controls to minimise the risk of incidents.

CEH was developed to incorporate a hands-on environment and a systematic process across each ethical hacking domain and methodology, giving you the opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge and skills required to achieve the CEH credential. You will be exposed to an entirely new perspective on the responsibilities and measures required to maintain security.

Who Should Attend

• Law enforcement personnel
• System administrators
• Security officers
• Defence and military personnel
• Legal professionals
• Bankers
• Security professionals

About the Certified Ethical Hacker Master

To earn the CEH Master certification, you must pass the CEH Practical exam. The CEH Practical Exam was designed to give students the opportunity to prove they can execute the principles taught in the CEH course. The practical exam requires you to demonstrate the application of ethical hacking techniques such as threat vector identification, network scanning, OS detection, vulnerability analysis, system hacking, and more.

The CEH Practical does not contain simulations. Instead, you will be challenged on a live range designed to mimic a corporate network using live virtual machines, networks, and applications.

Successfully completing the challenges found in the CEH Practical Exam is the next step after attaining the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification. Successfully passing both the CEH exam and the CEH Practical will earn you the additional certification of CEH Master.

About the Certified Ethical Hacker Practical

To prove your skill in ethical hacking, we test your abilities with real-world challenges in a real-world environment, using labs and tools that require you to complete specific ethical hacking challenges within a time limit, just as you would face in practice.

The EC-Council CEH (Practical) exam comprises a complex network replicating a large organisation's real-life network and consists of various network systems (including DMZ, Firewalls, etc.). You must apply your ethical hacking skills to discover and exploit real-time vulnerabilities while also auditing the systems.

About CPENT

EC-Council's Certified Penetration Tester (CPENT) programme focuses on penetration testing and will teach you to operate within an enterprise network environment that must be attacked, exploited, evaded, and defended. If you have only worked with flat networks, CPENT's live practice range will take your skills to the next level by teaching you to pen test IoT systems, OT systems, as well as how to write your own exploits, build your own tools, conduct advanced binary exploitation, perform double pivots to access hidden networks, and customise scripts and exploits to penetrate the innermost segments of the network.

About CHFI

The Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) course delivers the discipline of digital forensics from a vendor-neutral perspective. CHFI is a comprehensive course covering major forensic investigation scenarios, enabling students to acquire the necessary hands-on experience with various forensic investigation techniques and standard forensic tools required to successfully carry out a computer forensic investigation.
