What qualifications are needed to obtain this certification in ethical hacking?

Students must have completed high school or earned an undergraduate degree in any field, as recognized by their home country and/or place of employment.

How long is my exam voucher valid for?

Exam vouchers are good for one year from the date of purchase or course enrollment. If you want to take the test, you will need to repurchase it if you don't book it within a year of registering or buying the voucher.

When my exam voucher is issued, may I request a refund of the purchase price?

Exam vouchers are obtained from third-party organizations, thus once they are given to a student, they cannot be returned. The cost and voucher policies are not owned by Microtek Learning.

How often is the exam fee for CEH changed?

The certification organization sets the exam fees. Usually, price increases or decreases are announced around the end of the year. If the exam price increases after you've booked, you'll have to pay the difference to Microtek Learning.

How do I get the CEH Certification?

After completing self-study or CEH instruction at an accredited training center like Microtek Learning, you must pass the CEH exam to get your CEH certification. You must complete an application and provide documentation of at least two years of experience in the field of network security if you choose to self-study.

Course Overview

To stop an attacker, you have to think like one. That principle has made Certified Ethical Hacker the most recognized ethical hacking credential in the world, held by hundreds of thousands of security professionals, and version 13 sharpens it for how attacks actually happen now.

CEH v13 is the first version built around AI. Attackers use AI to move faster and probe wider, so ethical hackers have to as well, and v13 integrates AI across all five phases of the ethical hacking methodology rather than treating it as an add-on module. EC-Council reports that this integration lets practitioners work significantly more efficiently across common security tasks. You also learn to attack AI systems themselves, using the OWASP framework for AI-specific risks, which is quickly becoming its own discipline as organizations put models into production.

The curriculum runs 20 modules across more than 550 attack techniques and thousands of commercial-grade hacking tools, structured on the five-phase methodology: reconnaissance, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access, and covering tracks. You'll footprint targets, run network scans and vulnerability assessments, exploit systems and web applications, crack wireless encryption, and attack cloud, IoT, and OT environments.

The CEH Framework: Learn, Certify, Engage, Compete

CEH v13 is structured in four stages, and your access continues long after the classroom week ends.

Learn. Twenty modules delivered through instruction and 220+ hands-on labs in a cloud-based cyber range, with access to thousands of tools and deliberately vulnerable target systems.

Certify. Sit the 312-50 knowledge exam to earn CEH. Add the practical exam to earn the higher CEH Master credential.

Engage. Run a four-part mock ethical hacking engagement against an emulated organization, taking a real target from reconnaissance through exploitation of web servers, IoT, and OT systems. This is where the modules stop being separate topics and become one workflow.

Compete. Year-long access to monthly capture-the-flag competitions, twelve challenges of four hours each, on scenarios like ransomware, SCADA and ICS attacks, web application exploitation, and wireless attacks. New challenges keep appearing after certification, which is how the credential stays current instead of going stale on your resume.

Who Should Attend This Course?

CEH maps to 45+ cybersecurity job roles, so the audience is broad, but the course lands best with:

Security analysts and SOC analysts moving toward offensive skills
Aspiring and practicing penetration testers
Network and system administrators taking on security responsibilities
Vulnerability assessment analysts and cyber defense analysts
Security auditors, consultants, and risk professionals
Government and defense personnel, since CEH is a baseline certification under US DoD Directive 8140

Prerequisites

There are no mandatory prerequisites for attending, but EC-Council recommends at least two years of information security experience, along with solid networking and operating system knowledge. Some familiarity with Linux and basic scripting will make the labs go much more smoothly.

The reason matters: CEH teaches you to attack systems, not to understand them from first principles. If ports, protocols, and how an operating system handles permissions are still new territory, start with foundational security training and come to CEH once that base is in place.

Exam

CEH Knowledge Exam (312-50) 125 multiple-choice questions across 4 hours, delivered through the EC-Council exam portal. Passing scores range from 60% to 85% depending on the exam form received, a cut-score method that keeps difficulty consistent across versions and aligns with ISO/IEC 17024 requirements.

CEH Practical Exam (optional) Twenty real-world challenges over 6 hours in a live cyber range. You'll perform port scanning, vulnerability detection, system and web application attacks, SQL injection, and more against live targets. Passing both exams earns the CEH Master credential.

Both exams are ANAB accredited and approved under US DoD 8140.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

It's an excellent first offensive security certification, but it isn't an entry point to IT. EC-Council recommends around two years of security experience first, and the labs assume you're comfortable with networking, operating systems, and the command line. Plenty of people pass CEH as their first security certification; almost none pass it as their first exposure to IT.

CEH comes from passing the 4-hour, 125-question knowledge exam. CEH Master requires also passing the 6-hour practical exam, where you solve 20 challenges against live systems in a cyber range. The knowledge exam proves you understand the techniques; the practical proves you can execute them under time pressure. Many employers weight the practical more heavily for hands-on roles.

AI, integrated throughout rather than appended. In v13, AI capabilities run across all five phases of the methodology, so you learn to use AI for reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, and reporting. The other half of the change is defensive: v13 teaches you to attack AI systems using AI-specific risk frameworks, because organizations are now deploying models that need testing like any other attack surface.

Not when you train through an authorized channel. Self-study candidates must document two years of security experience, submit an eligibility application, and pay a separate application fee. Completing official training removes that step entirely, which is one of the concrete advantages of taking the instructor-led course.

For hands-on offensive roles it remains the most widely requested credential by name in job listings, and its DoD 8140 approval makes it a hard requirement for many government and defense positions rather than a preference. It sits well alongside defensive certifications: CEH proves you can find the weaknesses, and pairs naturally with credentials covering how to govern and defend against them.

Roughly half the course. The 220+ labs run in EC-Council's cloud-based cyber range against real vulnerable targets, and access continues past the classroom week so you can keep practicing before the exam.
