Credential Types
EC-Council credentials listed here are proctored certification exams. EC-Council also offers Essentials Series courses (EHE, NDE, SCE) which are shorter foundational programs. The table below distinguishes these by level. Full certifications (CEH, CCT, CSA, etc.) require passing a proctored exam.
