CEH v13 exam and CEH Practical vouchers: what to check before you buy

Key takeaways

• The current exam is CEH v13 AI. CEH v10, v11 and v12 are retired.
• CEH and CEH Practical are separate exams with separate vouchers.
• Eligibility depends on EC-Council rules: official training or an experience application.
• Buy only from EC-Council or an authorised partner and confirm what the voucher covers.
• This page quotes no prices because none can be verified.

What is a CEH voucher?

A voucher is a code that pays for a single exam attempt, which you use when booking with the exam provider. EC-Council's CEH page, EC-Council CEH, is the official source for the exam details.

Which CEH exams exist today?

• CEH v13 AI: the knowledge exam. Older versions, CEH v10, v11 and v12, are retired.
• CEH Practical: a separate, hands-on exam where you work in a lab environment.
• CEH Master: a title given when you pass both.

EC-Council publishes the current exam length and number of questions. Check them there before booking, since formats change.

Can you sit the exam without training?

EC-Council sets the eligibility rules. In general, you either complete official training or submit an application showing relevant work experience. Read the current rules on the EC-Council site and do not rely on a reseller's summary.

What should you confirm before you buy a voucher?

1. Which exam? CEH v13 AI, CEH Practical, or both.
2. Who is selling it? EC-Council itself or an authorised training partner. Ask for proof.
3. What is included? One attempt, or a package with training, a retake or lab access.
4. How long is it valid? Voucher validity periods are set by the issuer. Ask for the expiry date in writing.
5. How is it redeemed? You should receive instructions and a code tied to your name and email.
6. What is the refund and transfer policy?

How do you avoid fake or resold codes?

Very cheap vouchers on social media and marketplaces are a warning sign. Codes can be invalid, already used or tied to someone else's name, and you may lose both the money and the exam date. A genuine seller can explain how you will register and which provider hosts the exam.

Are there discounts?

Prices and offers change, and any offer depends on the seller and the time. This article does not state a price or discount because none can be verified here. Ask EC-Council or an authorised partner for the current figure in writing, including taxes. Admissions at WebAsha can tell you what is current for our CEH v13 AI course and the CEH Practical course.

What else costs money?

Apart from the exam, consider training, practice labs and, if you fail, the cost of a retake. A learner with a lab on their own laptop can limit this.

How should you prepare?

• Learn the five phases of ethical hacking: reconnaissance, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access and covering tracks, and the defences for each.
• Practise with Nmap, Wireshark and Burp Suite in a lab you own.
• For the Practical, build speed with the tools, because it is a timed lab.
• Remember that testing real systems needs written permission under India's IT Act.

If you want a single combined route, our CEH v13 AI Master course covers both exams.
