Frequently Asked Questions 

How do I become a CEI (i-Business) ?

How long does it take to become a CEI (i-Business) ? 

The time it takes to become a CEI (i-Business) will vary, depending on factors such as: 

• Submitting the application 

• Responding to requests for information & background checks 

• Availability and Train-the-Trainer attendance of the course you are seeking certification to 

teach 

• Passing the certification exam 

• Your knowledge of EC-Council products and technologies 

• Your experience in training 

What fees and expenses are associated with the program? 

Applicants pay Train-the-Trainer course fees for each course they attend, exam fees, and all personal 

expenses—such as travel, meals, and accommodation—incurred during the assessment periods. 

Do I need to take a test to become a CEI (i-Business)?

corresponding course exam. Exams are offered at Prometric and VUE Testing Centres around the world.

or Regional Representative" 

How do I register for the TTT class?

How are CEI (i-Business) trainers evaluated? 

For user and professional training courses, new trainers are first evaluated during the TTT session. In the 

TTT, you must demonstrate suffi cient professional knowledge and instructional presentation skills to 

competently teach the course before you receive certification to deliver the course. 

As a means of ongoing evaluation, students are provided an online evaluation form at the end of each 

course and are asked to evaluate both the course content and the trainer’s professional and instructional 

expertise. EC-Council will review the course evaluations. 

Once I am certified to teach a course, how long does that certification last? 

Once you are certified to teach a course, you can teach that course until any one of these conditions 

exists: 

• A major update to the curriculum, after which you may be required to demonstrate knowledge of the 

new technology. 

• Poor evaluations received on either your instructional abilities or your professional knowledge. If this 

occurs, you may need to repeat the TTT session and/or teach the course under supervision of an EC- 

Council Master Trainer 

• Termination of your CEI (i-Business) agreement. 

How will I be scheduled to teach a course? 

If you are teaching directly for EC-Council, you will be scheduled via iClass, EC-Council’s online 

training system regarding available classes and given the opportunity to accept or reject the class in 

question. 

If you work for an EC-Council Accredited Training Centre, the centre will manage your teaching 

schedule. 



How often will I be scheduled to teach? 

How often you teach will depend on a number of variables, such as the demand for the course you 

teach, your availability, your location, and the class location. The Statement of Work will indicate the 

dollar figure allotted to compensation for the given period. EC-Council does not guarantee that work 

will be assigned based on the trainer’s available dates or that all fund allotted will be used as noted in the 

Statement of Work.
