If you're talking about the online training provided by (ISC)2, it took me a week.

OMG! Very fast!
Did you have any prior experience at the time?
How many hours did you study daily?

I did have experience, but I read the material and watched all the multimedia thoroughly.

If you don't have a lot of security experience, take time to really digest the study material. Use the flash cards, because they can be quite helpful.

I just have to step in and remind you he like I have a CISSP, so taking the CC would be a lot easier than someone new to security. Time is different for everyone so it will take you as much time as it takes you. The bigger thing is do not try to memorize answer, understand the concept behind thing and I am sure you will do fine. To me, I know a topic once I can explain it and have a conversation with someone about it...

Completing the self-paced online course, purely on the basis of going through the all of the material and quizzes and exams, from start to finish it took just under 11 hours at a relaxed pace. Of course you'll have to spread that across an adequate amount of time, which is entirely dependent on your ability to understand the terminology used to describe the concepts, and your retention ability. So it could be a few days, weeks, or even months.

I passed the CC exam in a few days; however, it took me a couple of months to prepare. First, I studied and read about FAIR (Factor Analysis of Information Risk). FAIR is a quantitative model for RISK analysis. I studied for FAIR and attended a Conference that FAIR sponsored in Washington DC. and when I returned took the OpenFAIR certification and passed. Then, I read that ISC2 was offering a free CC Certification and a free course for it. Having Full knowledge of FAIR, I listened and read the ISC2 CC course being offered and took the Certification Exam. I passed. So, technically, there are lots of concepts that need to be memorized and lots of models and frameworks that need to be well understood to achieve the Certification. Most importantly, it is important to dedicate some quality time to prepare for the exam. It is absolutely feasible to achieve. I started from scratch and finished in two months, utilizing several sources, ending-up at ISC2' Certification prep.

I think that for those with more experience in cybersecurity, the exam is less complex.
You gave me a good tip.
Thanks a lot, john!

I intend to complete the training in a maximum of 15 days. I will dedicate myself a lot, because I already have basic knowledge of cybersecurity.
When I take the exam, I'll let you know.

I think it depends on an individual study pace, it took me three weeks to complete the preparation

Hello, were you able to meet your goal?

Re: How long does it take to complete the Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) training?

Don't know if it's me, but it took me around 2-3 days to finish the training. The first exam day was in 2 weeks, so I booked for it, reviewed the Quizlet flashcards to reinforce my knowledge, and passed the exam in the first try.

Also, I'm pretty new, with no job experience and my first certificate. I was always inclined toward CyberSecurity but was never involved.

Just a side note, the exam is harder and more complex than the ones you try within the training (didn't know it beforehand).

Hope its helpful:)

Still looking for opportunities in CyberSecurity while trying to finish Google Certificate and study for CompTIA+:)

I started the self pace study on 4 july. I’m making a career change so i didnt have any experience or knowledge about cyber security. I studied for an hour to a couple of hours daily. I passed the exam today on 29 july. So you could easily pass the exam within 1 month. On to the next 😃

I'm a new joinee, planning to take CC in about 1 and 1/2 month time, somebody can let me know the pace of taking the online course and resources if possible to refer as I'm totally new to this Security side in my career. Basically I'm a Front End Architect with Angular development.

Did you take the ISC2 exam online?

Nobody did. ISC2 does not offer online exams because people cheat. Blame those who took the exam when ISC2 trialed online exams.
