UIEE is commissioned at 20% commission on every EC-Council exam voucher, courseware, and iLabs subscription sold across Africa. Combined with our Accredited Training Centre (ATC) status and Academia Partner programme, this is the foundation of a multi-million-dollar cybersecurity talent pipeline for the continent.
Global USD retail prices, plus UIEE's localised Africa price (with FX margin) and the estimated UIIE commission per sale. Exam vouchers, iLabs cyber-range access, and instructor-led training are bundled into cohort packages.
CEH (v13 AI)
Certified Ethical Hacker
Ethical hacker, pen-tester, SOC analyst
The world's #1 ethical hacking certification. CEH v13 is the first AI-powered ethical hacking credential — includes 220+ iLabs exercises and an OpenAI activation key.
Exam:125 MCQ, 4 hrs + optional 6-hr practical for Master
Digital forensics investigator, incident responder
ISO 17024-accredited digital forensics certification. Required track for law enforcement cyber units, banking fraud investigators, and incident responders.
ISO 17024-accredited executive cybersecurity certification. Recognised by US DoD 8570/8140, UK GCHQ. The only EC-Council credential aimed at the C-suite.
UIEE's EC-Council revenue is built on three streams: (1) the 20% commission on every exam voucher and courseware sale across Africa; (2) the Accredited Training Centre (ATC) wholesale margin on cohort-delivered training; and (3) iLabs cyber-range subscriptions. A fourth stream — custom enterprise and government premium — sits above the catalogue for buyers requiring bespoke cohort design, dedicated CEI trainers, and impact reporting.
The model below projects Year 1 across 380 exam vouchers, 720 cohort seats, and 240 iLabs subscriptions — a conservative ramp consistent with comparable ATC operations in Nigeria (NIL Africa) and Kenya.

Africa market opportunity
The cybersecurity skills gap is Africa's next infrastructure deficit.
CompTIA (Feb 2026) confirms cyber threats in Nigeria and Kenya are accelerating faster than the supply of trained professionals. World Bank Blogs (Nov 2023) endorses agile multi-stakeholder partnerships as the scaling mechanism for closing the developing-country cybersecurity skills gap.
Africa's digital transformation — mobile money, e-government, fintech, cloud adoption — is outpacing the supply of certified defenders. EC-Council's vendor-neutral, ISO-17024-accredited credentials are positioned to fill this gap. UIEE's role: localise the price, the language, and the delivery so African enterprises, telcos, banks, and governments can adopt at scale.
