ECE Policy

ECE Policy Blog:

EC-Council’s Continuous Education (ECE) Policy aims to brand, differentiate, and distinguish a certified member as a dedicated IT Security professional. Such a professional is willing to continuously learn and share knowledge to keep themselves and others abreast of the latest technological changes that affect the way security is viewed, deployed, and managed. This is a key requirement of employers globally.

Once a candidate becomes certified by EC-Council, the relationship between EC-Council and the candidate will always be governed by the EC-Council Candidate Certification Agreement, which the candidate must agree to before receiving their certification. This agreement is provided at the following link: https://www.eccouncil.org/members/Certification/agreement.pdf.
