The Continuing Education (CE) fee is a mandatory payment necessary for the renewal of certification(s), and it must be submitted before the certificate(s) renewal process.
To continue the development and value of EC-Council certification credentials, as well as the continued support of its certified community, EC-Council has implemented a plan that requires the annual payment of certification CE fees in line with standard industry practices.
For certified members who hold certifications that require continuing education, the annual CE fee is USD $80 for all certifications with prefixes 212,312,412, 512 and all CAST certifications (with the exceptions of the C|CISO is $100, CPENT and LPT are $250 credentials).
For certified members who do not hold certifications that require continuing education, the annual CE fee is USD $20 for all certifications with prefix 112 (Except the Essentials series programs – EHE, NDE, DFE).
Continuing education fees are payable annually from the date of attaining the certification. For example, if you attain your CEH certification on May 5th, 2021, your certificate expiration date will be 1st June 2022.
Failure to pay the required CE fees will result in the suspension of your certificate/credential. A grace period of 60 days will be provided from the day of the CE fee due date, during which you must settle the outstanding amount. During the grace period of 60 days, you will neither be able to download your e-certificate nor be able to update your ECE Credits in your account.
Failure to pay the required CE fees post the grace period will result in the revocation of your certification/credential. Once revoked, you will no longer hold certification status, necessitating retaking the examination to regain certification.
