I depends on the student I guess. But yes in my opinion the course is real
introductory level, and out dated. In the first day of class one student
walked out. I made it to the second day before I left. The instructor was
good, he had written several security books on penetration testing and he
even recommended against getting the C|EH cert.
But there was a few in the class that had no security experience what so
ever, and they did benefit some from the class. I would still recommend
against it though, especially if they are using their own money to pay for
it.
Just to clarify how mine was, the Hacking Exposed books covered more
information than the CEH class. And they are beginner level as well.
I have heard good things about the Advanced Ethical Hacking course from
Infosec Institute, but I have not attended it yet. Here is the link

The guy that gives the course wrote the Shell coders handbook, which was a
really good read.

It's a waste of money. My company sent me to the CEH course, and I got
my money back after spending a day and half in the class.

Well see also would like to know this question answered... I'm also
looking to get my CEH .... plus what other material should we study?
I know in fact that if you take the training course in CEH you get pdf
and other material.
Would anyone that took this CEH course would you be able to share the
material with use?
