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.

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,

A

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.

Q:

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

 
A:
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).
