Certification
Once you've acquired the necessary expertise with this course, you'll take the "PECB Certified Lead Ethical Hacker" exam. The 6-hour remote exam consists of two parts: the practical exam and the report. The practical exam requires the candidate to compromise at least two target machines using penetration tests. The process must be documented in a written report. The PECB Certified Lead Ethical Hacker exam is an open-book exam. Candidates are allowed to use course materials and personal notes during the exam. The PECB certificate certifies that you have acquired the necessary skills for penetration testing according to the best standards.
