awesec was one of EH-Net's Free Monthly Giveaway winners when EC-Council's iClass was up for grabs. He promised a review of the course and here it is. Well done and many thanks.

You are welcome, What90.

I passed the exam not too long ago. Personally I think that the course helped, though I'd also say, that still some self-studying is required in order to pass. I had on my exam quite a few questions about topics and programs which were not covered during the course. I am not sure if I would have passed without any self-studying, but with a needed passing score of 70% (105/ 150 questions) it shouldn't be too hard anyway. Especially when you have some experience and were into security prior of taking CEH, it's not that hard. Usually I always try to be 'perfect' in what I am doing, so I did much more than was needed and passed with something like 98%.

As stated, I see CEH more as an 'advanced' beginners-level cert in security and for this kind of people the course most probably would be a good help. I think it also depends very much on which kind of learning type you are. If you are fine with self-study only and work through the materials well, I am sure you can pass as well.

If there are any more questions please let me know.

Very nice review indeed.  Here is a question that is slightly off-topic: does anyone use the C|EH portal/forum?  I received access when it was first created and it was very rough around the edges, but have no idea what it is like these days.  I may need to see if I still have access since my C|EH is from version 4. 

It's nowhere near as active as EH-Net, though activity has been picking up a little the past week or so. I log in to the portal daily.

Glad you like it.

Still waiting for my CEH welcome kit to arrive, but if I remember correctly, it takes approximately 8 weeks.
