Hi, I would like to know if the material at ISC2 website is enough to take the exam for CC or do we have to look for other resources? How the text will look like either it based on definition or performance based questions?
Thanks

I took it this week and passed. I only used the material ISC provided. No PBQ based questions. Study the material they provide and you should be fine.

Disclaimer: I have been in IT for 5+ years.

I took and passed yesterday. I'd say the test covers some of both types of questions. In fact, the exam on this site felt a bit more black and white whereas the exam at the test center had more nuanced questions. I know of no resourses that can help though there must be some. My advice is when you are learning stuff, especially when you question some some of the answers during learning, do try to understand the 'WHY' things are said to be a certain way. This will help with question where you feel more than one option could be right.

A shout out to the Pearson VUE test center in Chester. It was really well run and the staff were lovely.

I think I did something wrong are we suppose to get the exam code when we register for our class. Or when we finish the class/course then we get our exam code? It is still free for the course and the exam for limited time right?

Thank you so much. I have a question....? I want to start my career in Cybersecurity and self paced CC is will be my first training. Who can help me finding job after completion or taken CC exam?

hani23 — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 05:04:18 GMT

Hi, but in the course quizzes, they have performance based questions. A lot of people are saying we have to study Security+ or CCNA in order to pass the exam. As you have mentioned this course will be enough....?

You are in Cybersecurity for 5 years this exam would be easy for you. I am a newly born in Cybersecurity, this self paced is my first course. How I can get a job in cybersecurity after this, can you please advice me?

Really appreciated.

Hi @hani23 ,

I understand you are studying for your CC and then want to find a job.

Thomas Jefferson once said: “If you want something you've never had You must be willing to do something you've never done.”

If you really want to find a job, you need to put in the effort to find it by yourself, if that is your passion and you really want a career in cybersecurity. Things that are worth having, don't come easy to us. We have to put the time, commitment, passion and effort to achieve them.

Maybe you can start by looking for volunteer positions, where you can help others and then that way you make new connections, that could lead you eventually to find the job you envision having one day.

But expecting others to do the job for you, isn't fair. If you want something you have never had, you need to put the effort to find what you are looking for. But never expect someone else to do the job for you. That is, if its really your call to become a security professional. Just my two cents of advice here.

All the best in your CC certification journey and finding your job!

Best Regards,

Gus

@hani23 ,

I am sorry if you misunderstood my response. Of course we are here to encourage.

But you wrote in your original post:

" Who can help me finding job after completion or taken CC exam? "

That to me means you want somebody to help you find a job, which is fine.

But you have to do the first move toward finding a job. You can't leave it only to someone else.

Also if you would have been more clear in your first message, it would have been more clear for me what you were requesting help on.

You never used the words "career coaching" in your original message posted here.

If you would have wrote "career coaching" in your first message, my answer to you would have been completely different.

Great that you found this program by yourself, that is a good start. Definitely you are demonstrating effort and being resourceful.

Thank you for your advice! Please take this penny of advice.. Don't judge people you don't know personally and next time be more clear with what you are requesting. So there are no misunderstanding between what you are thinking and what you are writing.

Thank you!
