Course outline
The CEH v12 training program includes 20 modules covering various technologies, tactics, and procedures, providing prospective ethical hackers with the core knowledge needed to thrive in cybersecurity. Delivered through a carefully curated training plan that spans five days, the 12th version of the CEH continues to evolve to keep up with the latest OS, exploits, tools, and techniques.
The concepts covered in the training program are split 50/50 between knowledge-based training and hands-on application through our cyber range. Every tactic discussed in training is backed by step-by-step labs conducted in a virtualized environment with live targets, live tools, and vulnerable systems. Through our lab technology, every participant will have comprehensive hands-on practice to learn and apply their knowledge.
