Choosing how to buy CEH v13 confuses a lot of people, because it isn't one product — it's several components (courseware, labs, exam voucher, retake) that can be bought alone or bundled. This guide compares the options so you pick the right one for your goal and budget the first time, without overpaying or ending up with gaps.
Quick answer: If you just want lab practice, get the Hands-On Labs. If you're studying to pass, get the Complete Learning Bundle (it includes a mock exam). If you're ready to certify, choose an exam-voucher package — and if you want the full path with a safety net, the CEH v13 Master package includes a retake.

Match the package to where you are
You want hands-on skills first
If your priority is doing — running Nmap, Metasploit, Burp Suite, and more in a real environment — start with the Hands-On Labs. It gives you the official EC-Council iLab plus lab-guide videos and CTF challenges, with no setup on your end. Great for building confidence before committing to the exam. More detail in our CEH v13 hands-on labs guide.
You're studying to pass the exam
The Complete Learning Bundle is the sweet spot for exam prep: official labs, training videos, and — crucially — a mock exam to measure your readiness before you book. See how to use it in how to pass the CEH v13 exam.
You're ready to get certified
When you need the actual exam, choose a voucher package. The RPS Exam Voucher + eCourseware pairs the exam voucher with official courseware and video. What a voucher includes is explained in CEH v13 exam voucher explained.
You want the complete path with a safety net
The CEH v13 Master package bundles eCourseware, labs, the exam voucher, and one retake — so a first-attempt miss doesn't cost you extra. It's the most popular choice for people who want everything in one purchase. See the full breakdown in the CEH v13 Master path.
Why bundles beat buying piecemeal
Bought separately, these components add up quickly, and you risk gaps — courseware without labs, or labs without a voucher. A bundle aligns everything to the current v13 curriculum and removes the guesswork. The retake included in the Master package is also cheaper than paying for a retake after a failed attempt.
