Hi guys i am new to the forum. I have been thinking of taking the CEH Certification. I have a bunch of question. I hope you guys can help me out. I don't seem to get the answers from the EC Council's website.
Welcome

And sorry to hear you didn't find the answers you were looking for. You've certainly ended up in the right place though
Do you have any pros and cons between online and self-study?The first thing to consider would be how like to learn. If you need an instructor to explain things to you and answer questions, then obviously some form of class may be the way for you. If you like going at your own pace, and can do the research (i.e., find forums like this to ask questions in) then self-study is a good option. Personally, I've always preferred self-study options as they're usually less expensive and I enjoy going at my own pace, on my schedule.
Is it better to pass the 5 day bootcamp?Similar to what I stated above. As others have mentioned, being in a class is great to meet other people and other students may ask questions that you wouldn't have thought of. Depending on your security-related experience, a class may be a better route as it'll provide a good foundation for pursuing more advanced certifications.
About the pre-requisite, anyone been through that process? I don't have the 2 years working on security but i do have a AS degree in IT.As stated, you can
fill out an application and ask for a waiver to take the course/site for the exam. Your degree will definitely be helpful - but how much it helps depends on what types of courses you took and how many actual computer classes you had (as opposed to the general ed stuff). At the very least, it should help with your foundation of networking and such - along with your CCNA/MCP.
Are the book's prices separate from the training price?You can
purchase the courseware directly from EC-Council or a local distributor for self-study. If you sign-up for a course, the books are almost always included in the course fees
One last question for now. Have you been able to get a job with your certification, it's a dumb question but i am just going to go ahead and ask it.I had my first IT job when I earned my CEH originally and I had other certifications/experience by the time I got my next position. While at my first position, it certainly showed my boss and the people I worked with that I had a strong interest in security. I was given security-related tasks and invited to participate in other security discussions. It certainly gave me an opportunity to continue down the security path.
Again, welcome to EH-Net and please ask any other questions you may have.
