Ethical Hacking Essentials

Ethical Hacking Essentials (E|HE) is an entry-level cybersecurity course covering ethical hacking and penetration testing fundamentals — threats and vulnerabilities, password cracking, web application attacks, IoT and OT attacks, cloud security, and pentesting basics. The programme ships 15+ hours of self-paced video lessons across 12 modules, 11 hands-on lab activities, 750+ pages of e-courseware, and a CTF-based Capstone Project run inside a sandboxed live-VM environment. Designed for school students, fresh graduates, career starters and switchers, and IT or technology teams with little to no prior experience — no cybersecurity background or IT work experience required. Successful candidates can sit the proctored 112-52 exam (75 multiple-choice questions, 2 hours) for the globally recognised E|HE credential.
