CISSP Training is designed to prepare students to pass the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification exam. The CISSP course develops the candidate’s understanding of security methodology and the skills necessary for a professional to observe, analyze, and verify organizational security threats and vulnerabilities.

Upon completion of the course, students are offered to attend (as many times as desired) our ongoing live, online full-day exam preparation review sessions prior to taking the examination.

Prerequisites

Candidates must have a minimum of five years cumulative, full-time experience in two or more of the eight domains of the current CISSP Exam Outline. Earning a post-secondary degree (bachelors or masters) in computer science, information technology (IT) or related fields may satisfy up to one year of the required experience or an additional credential from the ISC2 approved list may satisfy up to one year of the required experience. Part-time work and internships may also count towards the experience requirement.

A candidate who doesn’t have the required experience to become a CISSP may become an Associate of ISC2 by successfully passing the CISSP examination. The Associate of ISC2 will then have six years to earn the five years required experience.
