I think it's a question of what you mean by "worth taking"... I took the exam and also served on the EC-Council scheme committee for two years working on programs around the exam and continuing education credits. Is it like going to a SANS class where you're going to learn a ton of stuff and become some kind of security expert? No. It's not meant to be that. It's a good "mile wide and inch deep" look into security concepts and penetration testing to get you started. And the exam fee isn't bad relative to some other security certs. It's not a bad thing to have on your resume at all, and is a nice compliment to other skillsets.

It was still the old version which was already outdated. I learned by myself and just bought the voucher to attend the exam. Like most certifications, some companies look for them on your resume, other don't care. Honestly, it's not difficult but the "ROI" was not as much as expected... /x -- Can't sleep, hackers will eat me!

Have you found it a valuable exercise? Did you do it self Study or taught? Im thinking of doing it as home study. What is the difference between the EU and US course-ware? Is it worth the additional cost to do the European course-ware (if possible) since I may return to Europe one day? im looking to which one is applicable to Australia(current residence).
