CEH v13 FAQs

Common questions about the CEH v13 course at Sama Tech Institute Kenya.

CEH v13 is an advanced course, so you should have solid foundational knowledge before enrolling. EC-Council recommends:
  • Minimum 2 years of IT security experience OR
  • CCNA certification or equivalent networking knowledge
  • CompTIA Security+ or foundational security knowledge
  • Strong understanding of TCP/IP, networking protocols, and operating systems (Windows & Linux)
  • Basic familiarity with command-line interfaces
Our recommendation: If you don't have this background yet, we recommend completing our CCNA course first, followed by our CCST Cybersecurity or Network Security Specialist course. This pathway will give you the strong foundation needed to excel in CEH v13. Contact us on WhatsApp for a free assessment of your readiness.

Yes, ethical hacking is completely legal in Kenya when done properly! The key difference between ethical hacking and criminal hacking is authorization. Here's what you need to know:
  • Written Authorization: You must have explicit, written permission from the system owner before conducting any penetration testing
  • Scope Definition: The authorization must clearly define what systems, networks, and applications you're allowed to test
  • Rules of Engagement: You must follow agreed-upon rules about what techniques you can use and what you cannot do
  • Kenya Computer Misuse Act: Unauthorized access to computer systems is illegal and can result in fines and imprisonment. Always ensure you have proper authorization.
In our CEH v13 course, we dedicate significant time to legal and ethical considerations. You'll learn how to properly scope engagements, obtain authorization, and conduct penetration tests legally. All our cyber range labs use isolated, simulated environments specifically designed for training—no real systems are ever attacked without authorization.

CEH v13 is highly valued by Kenyan employers and opens doors to lucrative offensive security roles:
  • Penetration Tester: Conduct authorized attacks to find vulnerabilities. Salary: KES 150,000 - 250,000.
  • Ethical Hacker: Perform security assessments and vulnerability testing. Salary: KES 140,000 - 240,000.
  • Security Consultant: Advise organizations on security posture and attack vectors. Salary: KES 160,000 - 280,000.
  • Red Team Operator: Conduct advanced adversary simulation exercises. Salary: KES 180,000 - 300,000.
  • Vulnerability Analyst: Identify and assess security weaknesses. Salary: KES 120,000 - 200,000.
  • Application Security Tester: Focus on web and mobile app security. Salary: KES 140,000 - 240,000.
Top employers hiring CEH-certified professionals in Kenya:
  • Cyber Security Firms: Kaspersky East Africa, Dimension Data, Seacom, Local cybersecurity consultancies
  • Banking & Finance: Equity Bank, KCB Group, Co-operative Bank, NCBA (all have dedicated red teams)
  • Telecommunications: Safaricom, Airtel Kenya, Liquid Intelligent Technologies
  • Government: Communications Authority (CA), National Computer and Cybercrimes Coordination Committee
  • Multinational Corporations: Microsoft, Google, Visa, Mastercard (all have regional security teams)
CEH is particularly valuable because many Kenyan job postings specifically require or prefer CEH certification for offensive security roles.

We highly recommend getting the exam voucher through us! Here's why:
  • Cost Savings: The EC-Council exam voucher normally costs $550 USD (approximately KES 72,000). Through our bundle option, you get it for just KES 15,000 additional—a savings of over KES 50,000!
  • Convenience: We handle all the registration and scheduling process for you
  • Validity: The voucher is valid for 12 months, giving you plenty of time to prepare and schedule your exam
  • Flexibility: You can take the exam at any Pearson VUE testing center in Kenya (Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu) or online with remote proctoring
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing your exam is paid for motivates you to complete the course and take the exam while the knowledge is fresh
What if you don't get the voucher now? You can always purchase it later directly from EC-Council or through us. However, you'll pay the full price ($550 USD). Many students find it more cost-effective and motivating to bundle the voucher with their training.

Both are excellent ethical hacking courses, but they have different focuses and recognition:
  • CEH v13 (EC-Council):
    • 5 weeks, advanced level, globally recognized certification exam
    • Covers 20 comprehensive domains including cloud, IoT, and mobile security
    • Industry gold standard—most job postings specifically require CEH
    • Requires exam ($550 USD) to earn certification
    • More theoretical with hands-on labs
    • Best for: Career advancement, job requirements, comprehensive knowledge
  • Cisco Ethical Hacker:
    • 6 weeks, intermediate level, completion certificate (no exam)
    • Focuses on practical, hands-on offensive security skills
    • Gamified learning with real-world scenarios
    • No exam required—certificate upon completion
    • More practical and hands-on focused
    • Best for: Skill building, beginners to ethical hacking, practical experience
Our recommendation: If you're serious about a career in ethical hacking and need a certification that employers recognize, choose CEH v13. If you want to build practical skills first before pursuing certification, start with Cisco Ethical Hacker, then advance to CEH v13. We offer a 20% discount if you take both courses!
