CCSP how many CPE do you earn? exam from home?

George991 — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 13:47:52 GMT

Hi,

I'm CISSP certified since 2018 and I'm studying for my CCSP at the moment. This is a self study I'm doing as we have a lockdown in the Netherlands as of COVID. As there is still a lockdown here all the test centers are also closed so I'm not able to book the exam yet. Is there any change you can do the exam from home?

Second question is regarding the CPE points I might get. Do I get CPE points after completing the CCSP exam? How many? Do I have to add this myself or is this done automatically?

Thanks for the help.

Sir, the pinned thread above this one explain in detail. Based on the top, pinned thread that discusses the online exam pilot program, they're no longer offering exams online.

Here is a link to the CPE handbook: https://www.isc2.org/-/media/ISC2/Certifications/CPE/CPE---Handbook.ashx?la=en&hash=0AEF69053C580BF6BF3C32F7503A3091351899D6

Thanks for the answers, I've read the CPE handbook and its saying that self study for a certification is a type A. What I can't find is how many CPE points is allowed for a full self study and passing the CCSP exam.

It is allowed to write the maximum of 40 CPE points when I pass the CCSP exam?

Hi George,
I have exactly the same question, so can you please share the Member Support response you've got?

I'd also be interested to learn:
- how many CPE grants passing CCSP exam (I need to report it at another training provider which requires such information)

- can I request CPE for passing CCSP (or self-study for passing CCSP) and use it towards my CISSP which I passed before CCSP?

- would there be different CPEs for studying for CCSP and actually passing CCSP exam?

@Decydent You will want to become very familiar with ISC2’s site as most of your questions can be answered there. The CPE guide will give you the best information on those for ISC2. I have never claimed it but believe can claim up to 40 for studying. I am going to guess that the other organization is CompTIA from the way worded it. If so, they are very specific about what certifications they will count and have lists on their site. Best wishes.
