CISSP Associate or CISSP

Roger — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 08:56:57 GMT

I'm very excited to announce that I've started my CISSP ASSOCIATE journey. I'm learning on my own since that's my best option at the moment. I've gotten the study materials needed.
I would like to be helped with simple study plan and what what to look out for in each domain in other to pass the exams. Thanks in advance for the reply.

Roger,

Your study plan depends on your experience, familiarity with the content, and the timing of your test. Have you scheduled your test yet? How much professional experience do you have with the core CISSP domains?

I haven't schedule the exams yet and I have general knowledge in some of the domains.

Roger,

I would suggest starting with CISSP CBK, and the first objective is to study NOT for the purpose of passing the exam, but rather to grasp and to understand the materials. There are plenty free learning materials online to choose from.

Once you have gone thru the entire CBK, and have a firm understanding of what CISSP is about, then go back to detailed study for the exam.

Best,

Chuxing

Do a search on the word "study" and read those threads.

Also before anyone pounces on you for mis-use of the designation, if you pass the CISSP exam but don't have the correct experience you will be an Associate of (ISC)2 and not a CISSP-Associate.

Hi ,

Just wanted to know one if I clear the CISSP and become an associate member, do I need to take up the exam again once I gain the professional experience? Or is it just verification of my experience?

Re: CISSP Associate or CISSP

Roger — Sun, 14 Oct 2018 06:04:15 GMT

When you become an associate all you need is to get the experience and get certified. You won't take the exams again.

Thanks Roger. One last query, I am 3 years experienced cyber security professional with 4 years of a college degree in computer science engineering. Let's say if I get associate now by clearing CISSP exam, can I get the CISSP certificate credentials in one year ( by completing 4 years). I see that they have a waiver of 1 year for those who have a 4-year college degree.

In my opinion i think you'll work for another three years. You'll get certified in the third year. Can you post this question as a new thread? So that we see what the experts has to say.
