I keep forgetting...). You can probably setup a course through www.eccouncil.org I'd be wary of "non-official" courses as EC Council might not except them.

dynamik wrote: Yea. The reason they gave me is that they want to make sure people will use the knowledge ethically. To be completely honest, it seems like an excuse to push a course on people. As you said, CEH material is readily available, so it would be extremely difficult (i.e. impossible) to ensure that people only use that knowledge for good. I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt, and say those requirements are for their reputation and the reputation of the certification, but you can't uncover a person's ethical nature from a short course or a resume. Regardless, that's how it stands. What are you currently doing for work? You should give them a call and see if your experience is adequate. You just need a resume and a letter from a supervisor.
