MasterClass Certified Ethical Hacker Program
28 HoursThe Certified Ethical Hacker certification is a highly coveted cybersecurity credential on a global scale.
This program blends instruction with practical application 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 alongside their standard CEH certification.
Students can opt to include either the CPENT or the CHFI course within their package.
Each student will receive training for either the Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT) course or the Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) course through EC-Council’s online, self-paced streaming video platform.
CPENT (Pen-test):
Instructs students on applying the concepts and tools learned in the CEH program to a penetration testing methodology within a live cyber range.
CHFI (Computer Forensics):
Teaches students a methodical approach to computer forensics, covering searching and seizing, chain-of-custody procedures, 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 design your security infrastructure and defend against future threats. Understanding system weaknesses and vulnerabilities allows organizations to strengthen their security controls and minimize the risk of incidents.
CEH is designed to integrate a hands-on environment and systematic process across each ethical hacking domain and methodology, providing the opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge and skills required to achieve the CEH credential. You will adopt a completely different perspective on the responsibilities and measures necessary for security.

About the Certified Ethical Hacker Master
To earn the CEH Master certification, you must pass the CEH Practical exam. This exam is designed to allow students to prove they can execute the principles taught in the CEH course. It requires demonstrating the application of ethical hacking techniques such as threat vector identification, network scanning, OS detection, vulnerability analysis, system hacking, and more.
The CEH Practical exam does not use simulations. Instead, you will challenge a live range designed to mimic a corporate network using live virtual machines, networks, and applications.
Successfully completing the challenges in the CEH Practical Exam is the next step after attaining the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification. Passing both the CEH exam and the CEH Practical Exam earns you the additional CEH Master certification.
About the Certified Ethical Hacker Practical
To prove your proficiency in ethical hacking, we test your abilities with real-world challenges in a realistic environment. You will use labs and tools to complete specific ethical hacking challenges within a set time limit, mirroring real-world scenarios.
The EC-Council CEH (Practical) exam involves a complex network replicating a large organization’s real-life network, consisting of various network systems (including DMZ, Firewalls, etc.). You must apply your ethical hacking skills to discover and exploit real-time vulnerabilities while auditing the systems.
About CPENT
EC-Council’s Certified Penetration Tester (CPENT) program focuses entirely on penetration testing. It teaches you to perform attacks, exploit, evade, and defend within an enterprise network environment. If you have only worked with flat networks, CPENT’s live practice range will elevate your skills by teaching you to pen test IoT and OT systems, write your own exploits, build custom tools, conduct advanced binary exploitation, perform double pivots to access hidden networks, and customize scripts and exploits to infiltrate the innermost segments of a network.
