Which one fits you
- You want the CEH certificate, explained in Malayalam, in a small batch: Edwhere. Batches are 5 to 10 students, a new one starts about every three months, and the fee includes the official exam voucher. If you did our 50 Days Ethical Hacking Challenge first, what you paid for it comes off the CEH fee.
- You want a large institute with many branches: RedTeam has the biggest footprint in Kerala and the Gulf, and lists CEH, SOC and pentesting courses.
- You work at Infopark and want classes near the office: Techmindz is on the Infopark campus. Ask which body issues the CEH certificate and whether the exam voucher is included.
- You want a long diploma rather than one certification: Techbyheart lists 6- and 12-month cybersecurity diplomas alongside CEH.
- You want the lowest fixed price and an internship: ICT Academy of Kerala lists ₹25,000 for six months with a 125-hour internship. You get ICT Academy's programme certificate, not CEH.
- You want a published price and don't need CEH: Skillogic prints its offer prices. Its certificates are IIFIS and NASSCOM, not EC-Council.
- You can't attend in person and only want exam prep: InfosecTrain runs 40 hours of live online CEH training.

What a table can't tell you
Websites don't show who will actually teach you, how big the batch is, or what happened to last year's students. Before you pay anyone, including us, ask the five questions in our institute checklist: track record, accreditation certificate number, instructors' real experience, how established they are, and exactly what the fee includes, in writing.
