Navigating CCSP Online Self-Paced Training

[bjaetook]

Hi all - new to the forum. I have been trying to get through the CCSP online self-paced training, and am pulling my hair out. I can't get to 100% competency, and can't see how. I'm afraid this is it, and I'm just not able to even get the certificate for course completion. I've emailed support several times, and once in a while find some random deep place with unanswered questions. It's not at all straight-forward at this point. Anyone else struggle here? 

I also found several spots in study questions where the answers are incorrect. ARGH!! Not just from my knowledge and understanding, but from within the application - question to question, sometimes the answers are inconsistent. This has not instilled confidence!

I have to say, I was worried about the exam in the first place, but now having read some posts about how difficult this particular one is, and the trouble I've had with the course - I am not looking forward to it at all.

@bjaetook   I have heard that some of the self-paced training is a little kludgy.  I know that sometimes the device or browser can play a part in issues.  I passed mine using no cost materials from CSA and NIST.  I did read the Sybex book but got more from CSA than anyone.  Hoping that this is the hardest hurdle face in this journey.  Best wishes.

Kludgy it is! Thank you - great advice.

I have just recently started on the CCSP curriculum.

But...

I did get certificates for each of the modules for my previous CISSP studies.

You do not need to be 100% correct on every question.

You just need to achieve competancy for each module, which is 70% or higher.

Check out my imges here for CISSP below.

My lowest score was 70%, on the final domain, and I still earned a module certificate for that as well.

When you start a module, you can click on the link I have highlighted in yellow to see all the sections in that domain.

When you start out, they will be locked.

But, as you progress, they will unlock.

I hope this helps!

And...

If you will be using documents from the CSA, this is a good one to read up on: "CSA Security Guidance for critical areas of focus in cloud computing version 5"

I have included the domains that the PDF covers in the image below.

It is free to download, after you create a login for the site.
