CCSP work experience waiver

bala9806 — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 01:08:31 GMT

Hi,
I read that an active CISSP credential waives the work experience requirement for CCSP. But do I need to clear it before I take the CCSP?
Let's say I pass the CCSP and become an Associate of ISC2. Now supposing I pass and get certified as a CISSP after a few months, can I use that to convert my Associate status to CCSP?

Yes, I believe that would be fine. There are no caveats stated about using the CISSP as the CCSP experience waiver.

Whether you have become an Associate of ISC2 post passing the CCSP, or are just using the 9-month period you get to submit your initial CCSP endorsement, the process is the same.

Go through the CCSP endorsement on the endorsement portal, if you have an active CISSP at that point it should be detected, and the sections of the form related to detailing experience and identifying an endorser will be removed.

Good luck with your goals!

The Associate of ISC2 designation can be earned by anyone who passes an exam for a certification requiring work experience.

After you pass your exam and receive official notice from ISC2 to begin the certification application process, select Associate of ISC2 if you do not yet have the required work experience.

Thanks. But my question was about the waiver specifically. To use the CISSP as the waiver, do I need to clear it before passing the CCSP or can I clear it after becoming a CCSP Associate and then use it as a waiver?
Hope my question was clear.
