CEH v13 Exam & Certification

Certified Ethical Hacker Certificate

  • What are the prerequisites for this ethical hacking certification course?

    Simplilearn’s Certified Ethical Hacking Certification course provides hands-on training to help you comprehend hacking techniques while also giving you the means to fortify your systems against them. Those who wish to apply for this program need to meet the following prerequisites:

    • Have an undergraduate degree or a high school diploma

    • Have at least two years of experience in IT security

  • How do I schedule my CEH exam?

    This Certified Ethical Hacking Course includes an exam voucher from EC-Council. After you complete your training and unlock your certificate, you can schedule your CEH exam through our Learning Management System (LMS).

  • Does the CEH exam fee ever change?

    The EC-Council governs CEH certification exam prices, which sometimes change. They typically announce price changes at the end of the calendar year. If the price changes while you’re still completing the CEH course, you may need to pay the difference to Simplilearn before booking your exam.

  • How do I become a CEH Certified professional?

    If you want to become a Certified Ethical Hacker, you must pass the CEH exam after completing training with an accredited training partner like Simplilearn or through self-study. Ethical hacking is a highly specialized and challenging area of study, so we recommend that beginners take an in-depth CEH training course to learn the concepts from scratch.

  • What is the format of the CEH v13 examination?

    You will earn your CEH certification from EC-Council after passing the knowledge exam. The exam consists of 125 multiple-choice questions, and you will have four hours to complete it online through the ECC exam portal. You must score 60-85% to pass. The exam tests your knowledge of:

    • Information security threats and attack vectors

    • Attack detection and prevention

    • Security procedures and methodologies

    You will also have the option to take a practical exam to earn a more advanced CEH certification. The practical exam tests your knowledge and skills with specific security tools, communication protocols, attack types, and vulnerabilities.
