How long does the course take?

The program typically runs 2 to 3 months, depending on whether you join a batch or take 1-on-1 sessions and on your chosen weekend or weekday-evening schedule. New batches open regularly, so you can pick a start that fits you.

Do I need prior hacking experience?

No prior hacking experience is required. You do need a basic grasp of TCP/IP networking and comfort with the Windows and Linux command line. The labs then build your offensive skills step by step, so motivated learners with solid IT fundamentals do well.

Can I take this online or does it have to be onsite?

Both. You can attend live online from anywhere in the world, or onsite at our Islamabad location. Either way the training is mentor-led by certified trainers and fully hands-on, with the same lab environment and curriculum.

Is it hands-on, and what will I actually build?

Yes, it is lab and project based throughout. You practice real techniques in a safe environment: running Nmap scans, exploiting a vulnerable target with Metasploit, cracking passwords, testing a web app with Burp Suite for SQL injection and XSS, and documenting findings in a clear engagement report.

What certificate do I get, and does it prepare me for the official CEH exam?

You receive a NUEXUS completion certificate once you finish the course. The curriculum mirrors the EC-Council CEH v12 exam domains, so it prepares you for the official exam, which is taken through EC-Council separately. We align the training to the exam but do not guarantee a pass.

How much does the course cost?

Pricing depends on your region and chosen format, such as batch versus 1-on-1 and online versus onsite. For current details, contact our team through nuexus.com/contact or view enrollment options at nuexus.com/trainings.

Will this course get me a job in cybersecurity?

The course is job-focused and builds practical, in-demand offensive-security skills that employers look for, and CEH is widely recognized in the industry. We cannot guarantee employment, but the hands-on experience, exam-aligned knowledge, and completion certificate are designed to strengthen your candidacy for security roles.

Overview

What you will be able to do

This is a hands-on, lab-driven ethical hacking program built around the EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v12) curriculum. You learn to think and operate like an attacker across the full engagement lifecycle, from reconnaissance and scanning to gaining access, maintaining it, and covering tracks, using industry-standard tools in a safe practice environment. Delivered mentor-led by certified trainers, either online from anywhere or onsite in Islamabad, in batches or 1-on-1, on weekends or weekday evenings. You finish with practical offensive-security skills, a NUEXUS completion certificate, and preparation aligned to the official CEH v12 exam.

Outcomes

Plan and run a structured ethical hacking engagement across all five phases: reconnaissance, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access, and covering tracks

Perform footprinting, network scanning, enumeration, and vulnerability analysis to map a target's attack surface

Use core tools such as Nmap, Metasploit, Wireshark, Burp Suite, and password-cracking utilities safely in lab conditions

Identify and demonstrate web application attacks including SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and common OWASP-class flaws

Assess wireless, mobile, IoT, and cloud environments for weaknesses and recommend practical countermeasures

Document findings clearly and map each attack technique to the defensive controls that stop it

Who it is for

IT and networking professionals moving into cybersecurity or a SOC role
Aspiring penetration testers and red-team members who want a recognized offensive-security foundation
System, network, and security administrators who need to understand attacker techniques to defend better
Computer science and IT students preparing for a security career and the CEH credential
Professionals targeting the EC-Council CEH v12 certification for job or compliance requirements

Prerequisites

Basic understanding of TCP/IP networking, common ports, and protocols
Comfort using Windows and Linux at the command line
General IT literacy; roughly one year of IT or networking exposure is recommended but not mandatory
No prior hacking experience required, the labs build your offensive skills step by step

Certification path

Two credentials, and they are not the same thing

This course prepares you for the EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v12) credential, whose exam covers the offensive-security domains and tools reflected in the modules above. NUEXUS provides exam-aligned, job-focused training and a NUEXUS completion certificate on finishing; the official CEH exam is administered by EC-Council separately, and while the course maximizes your readiness we cannot and do not guarantee a passing result.

NUEXUS training certificate

Issued by NUEXUS when you complete the course. Anyone can confirm it is genuine on our verification portal.
