After doing a little searching today I read on a different forum that ECC no longer requires self-studying applicants to have 2 years of relevant experience before signing up to sit the exam and that if you register at a VUE testing center you won't have to give them an ECC registration code.

Can anyone confirm or deny this? I'm sure it would help a lot of people out if it turned out to be true.

Certainly!

The post in question is #7.

Also... worth a quick read

As a newcomer, I have a question about the chicken and egg situation:

How do you get the job or experience without the qualification if you can't get the qualification without the experience?

I'm in a "do it yourself" situation and would like nothing more than to get into a security/pen testing job but I know that's not possible at present.

Some correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that security experience does not necessarily mean pen-testing experience.   It could be in any realm of IT security experience.   

Hi everyone I have been reading up on this, and yes I have been experimenting with most of all the tools can’t say I know them proficiently
But I figure if I get training I will get more insight on what I have been reading,and playing with. I have been Reading, listening and viewing videos of ethical hacking for about a 1 1/2 yrs, I know I need more training besides self study. I would suggest going back to school for training. I’m thinking of attending PC Professor ,the good thing about them you can always return to their courses if you did not understand anything after you complete their CEH classes.

Yeah-
I saw the same thing also,but since I live in florida I dont know if they are teaching CEH in other locations in the USA--->here is the info he gave me

The cost for this 40-hour course is $1995. The course registration fee is $150. Student loans are available and there are alternative payment options if you want them. We even allow students the option of making monthly payments on the course for up to 4 years with as little as 10% down – no credit required… However, if you register and pay in full in the month of April,  you’ll get a discount of 20% off of tuition! (Save $400!)

 Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures course mission is to educate, introduce and demonstrate hacking tools for penetration testing purposes only. Prior to attending this course, you will be asked to sign an agreement stating that you will not use the newly acquired skills for illegal or malicious attacks and you will not use such tools in an attempt to compromise any computer system, and to indemnify EC-Council with respect to the use or misuse of these tools, regardless of intent.
please let me know if you have any questions, or if I can be of assistance, or if you are ready to enroll.
