Practical exam: 20 challenges in 6 hours in the iLabs Cyber Range. It is optional, and passing both earns the CEH Master credential.
Passing score: EC-Council lists a range of 60% to 85%. Each question is weighted by domain and objective and carries its own cut score.
EC-Council recommends at least two years of IT security experience before attempting CEH. If you attend official training you can sit the exam. If you skip training, you apply for exam eligibility based on your experience.
Career Outlook
Where CEH can take you.
CEH lines up with penetration tester, vulnerability analyst, security analyst, red team and SOC roles. It shows up often in DoD and federal contractor job posts.
For a sense of pay, BLS puts the May 2025 median annual wage for information security analysts at $129,180. BLS also projects employment of information security analysts to grow 21 percent from 2025 to 2035, much faster than the average for all occupations. A median is the midpoint, so half earned more and half earned less, and your own pay will depend on location, experience and employer. Source: BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook.
