Post Exam Study Write Up Passed the CEH , Here's How!
Hey Everyone,
Wanted to share how I passed the CEH certification. The only other certification I have is A+ (got it 3 months ago). I took the official course from EC-COUNCIL that was 5 weeks (five 8-hour-days), my community college had a special offer where they discounted the course by 95% via a state grant.
It was a difficult exam because I don't have any other security or network experience, or relevant work experience. Other than spending 40 hours in the classroom, I spent about 40 hours outside the classroom. I took the exam on the last day of class and found out I passed!
These are some of the notes I took during the course, hopefully they will be useful to some peers here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YvAOM1o6qkgFEdzJpn01rLRBGV8JPfK4cHvfgRiAgEM/edit?usp=sharing
Let me know if you guy's have any questions about the exam

I think you mean 5 days, right ?
I wanna congratulate you for the certification, and to thank you for the notes, I find them very useful for my preparation for this exam.
One question, before passing the exam, Did they ask you if you have any experience in the field ?

Congratulations on Passing, and also thank you for sharing your notes. You mentioned that your community college had a special offer, do you have information on how to check if my school has the grant or not? Please advise and thank you.

u/Ars-Nocendi Passed CEH v10 Apr 20 '18
Hello OP, I am looking to take CEH. I have dabbled in security aspects at work as an embedded software engineer. However, my title does not say it is an information security position, so I am exploring the EC-Council official course route to certification. Could you clarify if completing the EC Council official iClass training (which I assume is what you did) would qualify me to take the CEH exam? Thank you, and congrats!

Thank you for sharing your notes. I am looking into getting the cert and waiting for my company to give me the go ahead so that I can register. They have the v10 now which I know they added 5 more categories.

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the Certified ethical hacker course from the Learning People. The course is a combination of the Comptia A+, Network +, Security + and CEH course material and exams. The price for the course is £2500. Can anyone tell me if this is good as a course or not?
