Professional Development Institute - not many classes these days (and ISC(2) certificate costs)

[DHerrmann]

I was looking at the Professional Development Institute sessions today.   It's been about a year, and I was surprised that the small number of classes offered compared to last year.

Are there any plans to add more PDI sessions?

----------------------------

I was also saddened to see that the Cloud Security Certificate comes with a $298 charge.   That's the type of service that I feel was once covered by PDI.

I was able to take all cloud courses for free as a member

Are you a member of the ISC or an associate?

If you are a member login into learn.isc2.org and you should find all the immersive classes

Full member (CISSP) in good order - I'm logged into isc2.org.

I got those prices by clicking on the Member Pricing button.

As per this website:

Looks like they may be changing the way courses are made available to Members but this should be clarified by management.

@DHerrmann Once logged in, click on the 'My Courses' tab at the top. It will take you to all of the courses and it doesn't cost anything to members. The cloud classes you listed are in the 'Immersive' section.

Thanks - taht helps @tmekelburg1!

Unfortunately, I only have a few days left - I'm getting this message in the "Working in the Cloud" class. I wonder if all courses we could take as ISC(2) members are moving to a pay model. Sad if true. Very sad.

We are committed to maintaining the quality and relevance of our training and frequently add new courses to our portfolio. Check back frequently to see our new course offerings.

I can't say for 100% certainty because I don't work there but it's always been communicated that PDI courses are included with the membership. No use of being sad for something that hasn't been officially put out yet.
