Hi Sarah,

Welcome to EH-Net

If you're wanting to do an online course, I would highly recommend considering the EC-Councils own iClass courses - http://www.eccouncil.org/iclass/. These are delivered by EC-Council Master Trainers and you surely will not get better CEH classroom/online training anywhere else.

If you decide that you'd like to go the self-study route, and don't want to miss out on the labs, then I would make recommend you purchase 2 things: 1 - the official CEH courseware (http://www.eccouncil.org/orders.htm) and 2 - the official CEH v5 Study Guide (CEH Study Guide on Amazon). With the courseware you'll get the lab manual and an overview of the entire course through the books. The study guide will prepare you for the exam based directly on the objectives.

Hope that's helpful.

Awesome! I don't think anyone has written a v6 study guide yet... but I don't believe the overall objectives have changed a whole lot from 5 to 6. My guess would be that the v5 study guide will complement the v6 courseware just fine.

Good luck! And keep us updated.
