CCSP Endorsement Time

I submitted my CCSP Endorsement on 9 Feb 2018, and was self-endorsed as I am a CISSP. I am pretty impressed that the whole endorsement process is fully automated, which is quick and easy to use (Good Job ISC2!).

 

However, it has been a month since my submission and there are no news about it yet. I do not mind waiting, but I would think that by automating the process and since it is a self endorsement for this case, the waiting time would have been slightly shorter than compared to other certifications.

 

Have a great day ahead. 

 

Cheers.

Thanks @JD and Congrats!

 

 I just received the endorsement email as well, Kudos to ISC2 as it take just over 4 weeks for the processing of endorsement. 

 

Can I check if there is any way to download a copy of the certificate online?

Congrats and I'm waiting my endorsement email too! It's really so slowly!

I'm in the same boat. I tested on June 7, 2018, submitted the endorsement on June 12, and here we are on July 13. I understand that they give themselves six weeks to complete an endorsement, but as a longstanding current CISSP (Since 2005), I'd think it's pretty easy to do a quick verification and call it good.

Wow! Less than an hour from my last post...I got my letter from ISC2!

Thank you so much, now I can recoup $3700 from my employer.

Bryan,

 If you login to the isc2.org page > members only, under  "Profile & Info", there is a digital certificates button, which will download your certs. Both my CISSP and new CCSP were in the downloaded .pdf

My impression is that it is more like a grocery checkout queue.  You get in line and wait for those before you.  In other words, the 6 (or in your case 4.5) weeks represents the length of the queue, not the complexity of your case.  

 

They don't appear to have a "10 items or less" register and I am not sure if it would be a good thing.  Although you would be able to ditch the line and get out of the store much faster, it is more egalitarian to add another general-purpose register so everyone gets out a bit faster.

 

However, since the queue seems to run a consistent 4 weeks to 6 weeks, throughput does not seem like the underlying issue.  More likely, they need temporary help to reduce the backlog to 1 to 3 weeks.

I just completed my CCSP endorsement process and it went smoothly.  I received a tickler email after about three weeks.

 

I understand that turnaround is based on workload, but my experience was four weeks.

 

Kudos

The CCSP is a global credential that represents the highest standard for cloud security expertise. When you earn this cloud security certification, you prove you have deep knowledge and hands-on experience with cloud security architecture, design, operations and service orchestration.

I passed my exam August 2nd around 10am.
I submitted my endorsement request online an hour later. As a CISSP, it was a direct submission to isc2. Later that night (11pm) I received an email confirming the receipt of my endorsement request.

On August 23rd I received an automated email informing me that my endorsement is still in the queue, and to please wait for the full 6 weeks to pass before contacting isc2.

On August 30th (today) I received the award email.

Not too bad. Still, not a day went by when I didn't manually log in to check my certs. And on that note, my member homepage still doesn't show it. It shows on my profile, and I received the badge on the community site.
I expect it to show up tomorrow.
