CEH - Home individual Study

Can anybody advise on the CEH course that you can purchase from EC Council.

I am a teacher of technology and looking to improve my understanding of security which in turn I can teach my students.

The course is on the below link - is it user friendly and can be installed easily and run off a laptop.

Security Training, CEH, Ethical Hacking, Penetration Testing, Certified Ethical Hacker, Certified Hacker, Information Security Training, Computer security Training, Information Security Certification

Thanks

I didn't take their course, but I did use their books which were very good.

I used PrepLogic's course + Ec-council 5 book set + tons of labs that I created.

CEH is a really fun cert to study for and if you need help making labs id be more then happy to help you lay out some lab ideas.

Andrew,

I'm not sure the C|EH is what you want - their training is to get you certified. If you self-study you need to have 2 years verified InfoSec experience. It is also very 'tools/techniques' focused.

Depending upon the level of detail needed by your students you might like to consider Security+ - which gives the broad intro level required or look at some books/courses for CISSP - which is also broad rather than deep but has a little more substance than Security+ but has a greater expectation of experience of the whole IT Lifecycle.

I agree with Fugazi as the CEH does not teach you about Security in a general sense. CEH is focused on Hacker tools, use and basic methodology. If you want a high level overview look into Security+. It does not have as sexy a name but it is better for teaching actual security basics. Another option would be the GSEC but that is very expensive.

EDIT: After reviewing your post history, I withdrew my earlier assessment.

I suggest that you perhaps suppliment your own knowledge with the SANS GSIF or GSEC, CEH is not a broad security cert, it is very targeted towards penetration testers. I suggest you get a really good grasp of security foundations which you can get from the Security+, GSIF, or GSEC.
