Being revoked is a status for the Licensed Penetration Tester (LPT) certification which means that EC-Council hereby officially cancels or revokes your certification after issuance, normally because of breaching any of the candidate examination policies or even the code of EC-Council ethics.
You will no longer be considered LPT certified once your certification has been revoked, and you may not use your certification on job applications, professional networking sites, digital badges, or certificate verification services.
However, to restore your eligibility, you would need to pursue the matter directly with the EC-Council. This could entail filing an appeal, submitting required docs, fulfilling compliance, waiting, or even reappearing for the LPT exam.
Some reasons that may necessitate revoking a Licensed Penetration Tester (LPT) certification are:
Breach of EC-Council Code of Ethics/Professional Conduct
Falsifying or providing incomplete or inaccurate data during examination registration or recertification processes
Cheating/Exam Misconduct: This includes the use/ possession/dissemination/distribution of unauthorized examination questions or any form of examination misconduct.
Impersonation during the examination process
Unfulfilled requirements for ongoing education or recertification within the stipulated period
Failure to abide by certification policies, such as non-cooperation during the audit or check of certification policies and related information requests
The following policies ensure that the integrity of the LPT certification is not compromised in any way.
Review the Official Notification
Carefully read the revocation notice issued by EC-Council. The notice explains why your LPT certification was revoked and outlines any required actions, deadlines, and available appeal options.
Contact Certification Support
Reach out to EC-Council’s certification support team if you need clarification, additional details about the violation, or guidance on resolving the issue.
Submit a Formal Appeal
If you believe the revocation was incorrect or based on inaccurate information, submit a formal appeal following the instructions in the notification. Make sure your appeal is filed within the specified timeframe.
Provide Supporting Evidence
Collect and submit all relevant documentation to support your case, such as training or exam registration confirmations, communication records, identity verification documents, or any other materials demonstrating compliance with EC-Council’s certification policies.
You could resultantly be unable to retain your certification for LPT or your eligibility to sit for the exam due to fraud, cheating on the exam, identity impersonation, or extreme breaches of the Code of Ethics presented by EC-Council. You could also be prohibited from retaking the test for a fixed term or even for life from taking up EC-Council certifications.
After the revocation, your name is struck off the official roll of professionals certified in LPT by the EC-Council, and you would no longer be able to put the certification on your resume or any personal or online professional profiles.
Ensure that you always present accurate and attestable information while filling out a Licensed Penetration Tester (LPT) examination application, taking an LPT examination, recertification, as well as any form of audits and validation exercises. You must always comply with EC-Council’s Code of Ethics, as well as any applicable agreement and examination policies. You must not in any way disseminate, duplicate, distribute, or copy any LPT examination content, reports, techniques, or any intellectual property belonging to EC-Council. Ensure that you always update your Licensed Penetration Tester status in line with the required timelines for any applicable continuing education requirements for renewal or validation of your LPT certification.
