After all these hiccups in SSCP endorsement and payment process, still waiting for the welcome kit after 13 long weeks and "agree to disagree" email correspondences past few weeks !
Wondering . . . is it better off to pursue other similar certification instead for such poor kick-off ?
I understand your frustrations. In recent times earning ISC2 certifications has become a painful experience due to their broken systems and processes. I've also had to make my case very strongly to Support to get them to fix things which were very obviously wrong but they claimed were correct. It all worked out in the end but was time consuming and incredibly frustrating.
Their broken systems and processes are just the tip of iceberg whilst I don't encountered such issues with other certification bodies.
