Trevor Linch MCSE, Winchester, Kent
“The quality of the training materials is very impressive and they provide a lot more than just the paper based courseware you would normally get for spending twice as much with other companies. I find the video lectures and demonstrations very informative. Most of all I like the fact that I get lots of hands on practice!”
Irene Vincent, Worthing, Sussex
“We used to send our staff away to learn Microsoft Office at £400 per day; we can now provide each staff member with the same instructor-led style training on site for a fraction of that price”
Sue Herbert, Personnel Manager, Datalink
“This course is very well presented. The instructor is clear and concise, provides a wealth of knowledge and explains the real world applications. The CEH course is definitely for anyone who is serious about Computer Security. I would recommend this course to anyone presently doing programming who wishes to get a better understanding of the different classes of a hacker and the procedures in which a "cracker" (Black Hat Hacker) goes through to gain access into any system. I am enjoying going through this course-- and I am going to complete it ahead of time!”
