CCSK CPE

[rpm_86]

Hi Community

I have cleared my CCSK cert recently. Could anyone help me out with the below queries-:

1. Is this certification eligible for CPE?

2. If yes, How many CPE's it eligible for?

3. What option do I need to select inside the CPE portal?

Congrats

CCSK is not an (ISC)2 certification.   I believe that it belongs to CSA

Here is a chart comparing the CCSK and CCSP ((ISC)2 offering)

CCSK vs CCSP

If you want to choose between CCSK and CCSP, here are some considerations.

• What is your (prospective) employer looking for? Are they familiar with the certifications?
• CCSK is currently more practical than CCSP.
• CCSK is less work and actually a good start towards CCSP.

I presume you are asking of passing the CCSK is worth any CPEs for your CISSP.   If so, the answer is no.  Taking/passing any exam or being granted a certification of any type, offered by anyone is not worth any CPEs because neither is a "learning activity".

What you can earn CPEs for though is the hours you spent studying for the CCSK, at least to the extent that the studying was related to one or more of the CISSP domains.   Details are in the CPE handbook, under Education.  

Also, interesting to note is that you can claim the credit for studying even if you do not take/pass the exam.
