EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Training
EC-Council CEH at FAU Continuing Education brings the world's most widely recognized ethical-hacking credential to South Florida. Offered through Florida Atlantic University's partnership with Applied Technology Academy, the course is taught live — online or in the Boca Raton classroom — by ATA practitioner instructors who work in the field they teach.
The program develops attacker tools, techniques and methodology across the full kill chain, with hands-on labs. It is built for offensive-security careers and defensive roles that need attacker fluency — DoD 8140 approved, and FAU Continuing Education students train alongside working professionals from across South Florida's technology and defense employers.
Enrollment runs through the FAU Continuing Education team — register for a scheduled session below, or contact us to plan the right start date, funding path and preparation plan.
