Certified Cybersecurity Technician (Including Exam Voucher)

Introduction

EC Council’s Certified Cybersecurity Technician (CCT) certification goes beyond teaching fundamental cybersecurity concepts by validating course participants’ IT and cybersecurity skills through extensive hands-on practice and assessment. The knowledge and skills gained through the CCT can create pathways for further specialization in many cybersecurity domains, including ethical hacking, penetration testing, digital forensics, and application security.

With the CCT, EC-Council aims to equip entry level cybersecurity professionals with the core technical skills they need to pursue and advance in careers as cybersecurity analysts, consultants, engineers, IT administrators, and more. The CCT creates a foundation that enables individuals to grow their skills in specialized domains like penetration testing, security consulting, auditing, and system and network administration.

EC-Council’s CCT certification immerses students in well-constructed knowledge transfer. Training is accompanied by critical thinking challenges and immersive lab experiences that allow candidates to apply their knowledge and move into the skill development phase in the class itself. Upon completing the program, CCT-certified professionals will have a strong foundation in cybersecurity principles and techniques as well as hands-on exposure to the tasks required in real-world jobs.
