New! Join us as an (ISC)² Candidate – no exam, experience or fees required!

AndreaMoore — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 10:17:50 GMT

We’re excited to announce that today we are launching a new program and now anyone can join (ISC)² as an (ISC)² Candidate! There is no experience requirement needed to join. You don’t have to pass an exam first. And, there are no fees to join. (Dues will be U.S. $50 annually to continue status after the first year). (ISC)² Candidates are eligible for the One Million Certified in Cybersecurity program and will be provided with free registration for the exam, as well as access to the online self-paced course.

If you’re not a member, but you’re interested in working in cybersecurity or you’re working in cybersecurity and interested in getting certified, (ISC)² Candidate is the program for you!

When you join, you’ll get access to discounted prices on education from (ISC)² as well as books and study guides, special event rates, webinars and more.

Questions? Visit https://www.isc2.org/candidate for more information! If you need to know more, post here or email candidate@isc2.org.

We hope you’ll join us as (ISC)² Candidates!

Hi Andrea,

I am a little bit confused with the endorsement process. Is it okay if I ask you to enlighten with that?

Thank you,

@PJohnrhoe

Thanks for asking. Most of our certifications require "endorsement" which is the process to determine your work experience (either another (ISC)2 member endorses you or you can submit your work experience to (ISC)2 to determine/assess your experience). More information can be found here: https://www.isc2.org/Endorsement and here: https://www.isc2.org/Register-for-Exam/Background-Qualifications

However, that being said, our newest certification (ISC)2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) does not require work experience. Your endorsement is a short application containing ethics questions and agreements. No experience or endorser required.

Our recently launched Candidate program (https://www.isc2.org/Candidate) is an opportunity for people to sign-up to express their interest in pursuing a certification in the future. While registered as a candidate you'll receive some access and discounts. I highly recommend becoming a candidate and then pursuing your certification of choice.

Hi Andrea

Do we get our certificates and card after passing CC? Or we don't get any of it?

Hi,

I enrolled under the candidate program on the 04th September 2022. However, I've not received my digital badge or a welcome letter as yet. Does this take some time? I've emailed the candidate email address but no one has replied to me as yet.

Thank you for any assistance.

Kind Regards

James

Hi Andrea, thank you for your quick response. I got this sorted. I'm now up and running as a candidate.

Sorry Andrea, one more question, If I may. Where can I find a list of webinars that I can access? Majority of the ones on the website are "free" for members or you have to pay to access.

Hi Andrea!

What is the method to avoid the 50 US fee for renewal the Candidate label, maybe when I get one of the available certification?

Hi @AndreaMoore

I did complete my enrollment but I've not received my digital candidate badge or a welcome letter as yet. I have usefully completed new Cybersecurity certification and was able to get the badge for the same.

Can you please assist with the candidate badge.

Hello Andrea,
I was wondering how long does it take for you to receive your badge after you register? I registered last week and have yet to see the badge.
