eLS THP (Threat Hunting Professional)

I have seen a few posts about it, but how many people on here have completed the course? I have done analyst work in the past and some pentesting, but no specific threat hunting. This is a skillset I am looking to develop and outside of SANS (which is way out of budget right now), this is the only other course I can really find.

For anyone who has done it, did you find the content worth it? I've worked through their PTS and PTP courses and though the material was good, but I have heard that some of the other courses are not as well designed. If you do hunting in your day-to-day and have done the course, do you feel it teaches real-world hunting or is it more of an academic "this isn't how we actually do it".

They tell you it could take up to 30 business days, I’m assuming it just to cover themselves. They also mention it’s usually quicker. I was happy with a week. I don’t know about your report but mine was 30+ pages, I wouldn’t expect them to get through that quickly.

My report contains 15 pages. Could you provide the link where eLS states 30 days for exam report review, please? I can't find it.

When you submit the report you’ll receive an email saying that it’s accepted and it’ll take 30 business days to review. (Usually much sooner) it says.

I haven't received any email from eLS after submitting my exam report. I merely see in my "Members area"->"Exams" that the report is "in Review" state. That's all in my case)

This is from certification process description on eLS website: "One of our instructors will carefully review your report. If your findings, and your threat hunting skills are deemed sufficient to pass the exam, you will be granted the eCTHP certification." No words about exam report review SLA.

Thank you @EANx! 30 business days is too much, even for human review.

Its rare they take this long. The common theme in any forum that discusses passing any elearnsecurity cert is that they got their results within a week and no later than two weeks.

Strangely there must be some type of mishap. Maybe they are in fact swamped. Either way after 30 days definitely email them confirming they have received your report.

I am into this course as well.
However, my plan is to take ePND->ePWD->eTHP.
My background is more of Penetration Testing.
