Yes! Those who complete the D|FE course will be awarded a certificate attesting their skills and indicating that they are qualified to enter the industry as professionals.
Free cybersecurity courses provide students with a solid grounding in the fundamentals, but they cannot guarantee future employment prospects. To improve your marketability in the job market, it is important to earn additional certifications and degrees relevant to your field of choice.
There are no prerequisites for enrolling in the EC-Council D|FE course. The course is open to anybody with a computer and internet connection.
It takes approximately 11 hours to complete the course.
After completing the D|FE, taking the other two courses in the Essential Series (E|HE and N|DE) will further solidify your understanding of core cybersecurity concepts. After completing the Essentials Series, you’ll be ready to take the C|CT. Then, you may move on to other foundational programs, such as the C|ND or the C|EH. Depending on your career goals, you may then go on to earn more advanced EC-Council certifications and specialties like the E|CIH and C|HFI.
Completing the D|FE course demonstrates that you have a firm grasp on essentials in the field and increases your marketability to potential employers. However, other factors, such as merit, academic achievement, practical experience, etc., also play a crucial role in the hiring selection.
