EC-Council (International Council of E-Commerce Consultants) is an Albuquerque-based cybersecurity certification body founded in 2001, best known for the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) credential — one of the most-searched entry-to-mid-level cybersecurity certifications globally and a DoD 8140/8570 baseline cert. The certification portfolio spans CEH (now at v13 with AI-powered lab modules), CEH Master (hands-on practical exam), Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI), Certified Chief Information Security Officer (CCISO), Certified Network Defender (CND), EC-Council Certified Security Analyst (ECSA), Licensed Penetration Tester (LPT Master), Certified SOC Analyst (CSA), and Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA). Certifications are ANSI/ISO/IEC 17024 accredited and mapped to the NICE Workforce Framework.
Delivery goes through three product fronts. EC-Council official training (eccouncil.org) sells live instructor-led, iLearn self-paced, and authorized training center (ATC) bundles with exam vouchers, typically USD 850-3,500+ per course. EC-Council Learning / iClass (iclass.eccouncil.org) packages 500+ cybersecurity courses into EC-Council Pro subscriptions. CodeRed (codered.eccouncil.org) is a broader 4,000+ video library at USD 12.99/month or USD 99/year targeted at learners who want wide technical coverage without the full cert path. Typical buyers are career-changers prepping for SOC or pentest roles, IT staff chasing DoD 8570/8140 compliance, federal contractors, universities in EC-Council Academia, and individual learners shopping certification prep. Competitors include Offensive Security, SANS/GIAC, CompTIA (Security+, PenTest+, CySA+), ISC2, ISACA, and INE Security.
The EC-Council Affiliate Program runs in-house at affiliate.eccouncil.org rather than through Impact, CJ Affiliate, or ShareASale. Publishers apply via the Become an Affiliate form with site, audience, and promotional-plan details; EC-Council's affiliate team reviews each application manually and typically responds within a few business days. Approved affiliates receive a dashboard with tracking links, banners, product-specific deeplinks, and real-time click/conversion/commission reporting, plus access to a dedicated affiliate support team.
Commission is paid as a percentage of net receipts on approved sales across the EC-Council catalog (eccouncil.org certifications, iClass / EC-Council Learning subscriptions, and CodeRed subscriptions). Exact percentage and cookie duration are not published externally — both are disclosed inside the dashboard on approval, and rates are tiered by product line and publisher volume. Payouts are issued monthly via PayPal or international wire transfer after a validation window covering refund periods; the minimum payout threshold and tax-form requirements are confirmed on approval. Self-referrals, coupon-site-only traffic, refunded or cancelled orders, and fraudulent signups are excluded under the standard program agreement. Commission and cookie figures are gated behind approval, so this record lists them as disclosed in-dashboard.
