This sounds great. My daughter has switched over to cyber security as her major in college. As soon as this becomes available I will share it with her. I also sit on a board at a local university and will mention it to their chairperson.

@CISOScott

Following in your footsteps! Very exciting for her. We wish her all the best and look forward to having two generations of (ISC)² family members when she becomes certified! 😁

@ponmozhiG do you mean the CC certification certificate? You'll need to pass the exam and then pay your AMF to receive that.

It is through the 1 Million CC pledge that I became an ISC2 member. What an awesome gesture and follow-through. I'm thankful.

Hi Andrea

I have passed my CC exam and also paid for my AMF. All good there. I'm confused about one thing. Do i receive a physical copy of my CC cert or is it just a digital version of the cert? As a CC holder, do i get a welcome package or is this only for the higher tier qualifications? (CISSP etc)

2nd, and hopefully a quick question. Is there any job listing or sites that entertain the entry level job position? Ive searched so so many job listing sites and still come up empty. I just not sure where this work force gap is? Could you point me in the right direction please.

PS: I'm not asking for a job served on a platter, but rather point me to where i could look and i will do all the needed ground work to get it. I'm really wanting to continue studying but need the work experience in the industry.

Many Thanks,

Hello @Anton_Dawson

Congrats!

1. No, CC does not send a paper certificate but instead there is a digital version (which you may then print on your own). As a reminder you'll need to accept the terms and conditions and pay your first AMF to receive your digital certificate.

I just earned the Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) certification. Will I get a member welcome kit?

No. When you earn the CC certification, you will receive a digital badge and a digital version of your certificate which is accessible to print or download from your member profile.

2. Others have also asked this question. A great place to start is right here on the Community - connect with others, read up on latest topics (https://community.isc2.org/t5/Industry-News/bd-p/industry-news), join the CC certification group after you officially receive your certificate and badge here on Community (https://community.isc2.org/t5/Certification-Groups/ct-p/CertificationGroupHubs), read the career discussions board where others have asked this same question (https://community.isc2.org/t5/Career-Discussions/bd-p/Career) and check out the job postings board (https://community.isc2.org/t5/Cybersecurity-Job-Openings/bd-p/Cybersecurity-Jobs).
