2023 CC Study Resources

*(UPDATE: I PASSED THE CC EXAM)

I'm preparing for my upcoming CC exam and wanted to share the study resources I'm using:

1. (ISC)2 Website: Official ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) Self-Paced Training course.

> Pre-Course Assessment

> Chapters Flash Card and select TEST mode

> Chapters Summary Quizzes

> Post-Course Assessment
(Since all of these resources allow unlimited attempts, the goal is to achieve a perfect score.)

2. Udemy : The Complete Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) course ISC2 '23 by Thor Pedersen
3. LinkedIn: (ISC)2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) Cert Prep by Mike Chapple

4. Youtube: CC Certification: Best Practice Questions! (CC Exam Playlist) of Prabh Nair

Hi everyone, just wanted to share the good news that I passed the CC exam today. The resources mentioned above are more than sufficient to achieve success in the exam. By taking a self-paced approach and incorporating either Thor Pederson's course on Udemy or Mike Chapel's course on LinkedIn as your main video resource, you can also pass the exam.

That is so resourceful. At least that give you the idea of what is ahead and actually help you to prepare in area.

This is a great reference!

Just a question, is it ok to post and reference the following authors as one of the study materials after you pass the exam like

 

Thor Pedersen

Professor Messer

 

just making sure that it won't conflict the code of ethics.

 

thank you!

I don't see anything wrong with the post in relation to the (ISC)2 code of ethics. It's just a suggestion that might help with your studies, not an advertisement for anyone. I haven't mentioned anything specific about the exam content, just a reference to additional sources you can use alongside the self-paced training from (ISC)2.

It's important to note that the exam agreement clearly states not to disclose the content of the examination. However, it doesn't mention any restrictions on sharing study materials that can help to gain a better understanding of the self-paced training.

If you want to feel more assured, you can check out the full exam agreement at this link https://www.isc2.org/Exams/Exam-Agreement.

If I've done something against the rules or missed anything, please review the (ISC)2 code of ethics. The code includes the following principles:
1. Protect society, public trust, and the infrastructure.
2. Behave with honor, honesty, fairness, responsibility, and legality.
3. Provide diligent and competent service.
4. Advance and safeguard the profession.

😇 Godbless.

Hi, @arjemlearning thanks for putting that together. I'm new and forgive me if my question is silly:

Why are many supplemental materials needed in addition to the ISC2 (CC) Self-Paced Training course?
