There is no specific full-time degree to become an ethical hacker. To learn ethical hacking, you need to put a lot of efforts yourself. There are plenty of online websites and books on Amazon that can help you a lot in improving your skills in this field. This is a field where you need to learn most of the things on your own. It's not like some programming skills that can be learned by going to some institution. I would suggest you learn it on your own rather than paying thousands to some institute and hoping that they can teach you hacking, but yes, a good mentor can surely make a difference. A few suggestions for self-study: Learn Programming (Python, Ruby or Perl Would be nice) Understand Concepts of Network Technologies Explore the amazing world of Linux and Unix.

An ethical hacker’s role is a proactive one as they prevent cyber-crimes and protect cyber space from intrusion. They ensure data security and protect computer systems from illegal hacking activities. Duration of Ethical hacking courses varies in various colleges. It may vary from 8 weeks to one year. However, it has been found most of the ethical hackers are self-learner. You can appear in professional certification examination to become a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) by appearing in examination conducted by ED-Council. Certification is achieved by taking the CEH examination after having either attended training at an Accredited Training Center (ATC) or completed through self-study.

Hi, Yes, it depends upon institute to institute but you can expect a complete course’s duration is not less than 35-40 hrs. There are many institutes offer ethical hacking course but out of these I personally know Indian School of Ethical hacking (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.isoeh.com" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://www.isoeh.com</a>). In addition, you need to prepare yourself to get certified by EC council exam which will give you an ultimate recognition to establish as ethical hacker or IT Security/ Cyber professionals.
