Very good advice. Thank you.

Congrats on getting CCSP! It's on my certification road map which I hope to sit in the near future. I'm currently studying for my CISSP which I aim to sit in March having already captured SSCP.

I'll keep a note of your recommendations for when I get to the point of looking study for CCSP.

Thanks,

Mo.

Good going Darie and congratulations.

Thanks for the advice, although I have also been doing the same preparation path as you with one exception.

I am also reading Cloud Computing concepts by Thomas Erl.

I have 28 yrs experience In IT and I am CISSP.

Thank you for your post as I am currently studying for the CCSP and testing on Friday. I've been using the same material.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Would you recommend doing CISSP prior to CCSP or CCSP alone is ok?

I would not say it's a must to have it, but it surely helps. But if you have prior practical experience with cloud applications AND hands-on security, that should also do it.

Good summary Paul -- Brgds Indra

For the test preparations you should be highly motivated. The only objective should be to cover the syllabus with complete understanding of all topics. Also, it is important to take the time for practice and revision close to the test days. I am using Online LSAT Prep course and would try to cover everything at least 10 days earlier the test day.
