Attend Official Training

If a candidate has completed official EC-Council training either at an Accredited Training Center, via the EC-Council’s official Online Learning, or at an approved Academic Institution, the candidate is eligible to attempt the respective EC-Council exam. To validate status of a training center or educator offering EC-Council training, please connect with EC-Council support, or call an EC-Council office using the contact information found at: https://cert.eccouncil.org/contact-us.html

Purchasing Certification Vouchers

Nearly ALL EC-Council Partners and official training avenues defined above include certification voucher(s) in the training package. Official Partners will include Official Courseware, Official Labs, and Certification Vouchers in addition to the training they provide you as you prepare for your EC-Council Certification. In the event you have purchased training, and certification was not included in your purchase, you are eligible to purchase your certification voucher either through the training partner where you attended training, or here directly through EC-Council. We strongly recommend speaking with your training center as they may offer certification vouchers bundled with their training offer at a better rate.

Certification Vouchers

*The rates above are exclusively for students who have successfully completed Official Training. Candidates will be required to submit a certificate of completion issued by EC-Council that lists the Authorized Training Partner or Program available post your course evaluation submission in ASPEN (EC-Council’s student portal).

Certification Retake Vouchers

In the event you do not successfully pass your certification attempt, you may re-attempt the examination up to 4 times in one year. Again, we advise you to speak with the Educator where you purchased training; in many cases, Exam vouchers and retake vouchers are offered as a part of the program you purchased. In the event you need to purchase a retake voucher from EC-Council, please submit a request at https://cert.eccouncil.org/retake-exam-promo.html and initiate a retake application.

Free Market Pricing

As the price of exam vouchers is many times bundled with official training by our accredited partners, the price may vary depending on the region, training facilities, training partner, the trainer’s experience, cost of proctoring the exam, and even the mode of training of the partner. To promote free-market competition and ensure no “price-fixing” takes place, the EC-Council does not set the price of training or the corresponding materials purchased through training partners.

Fair and Equitable Testing Practice

Certification Examination is personal in nature, assessing an individual’s knowledge and skills in the specified certification domains. All candidates who attempt EC-Council Certification Examinations have a fair and equal chance to succeed in their certification attempt regardless of how they prepare for the examination. EC-Council, and its entire Authorized Partner network adhere to a strict code of conduct and do not advise students which training method prepares a candidate more effectively for examination. In the event you are told otherwise, we request you report the incident to EC-Council immediately for investigation by writing to [email protected] with details of your experience.
