Certification

(ISC)2 requires exam candidates to have a minimum of five years of relevant work experience in two or more of the ten domains, four years of work experience with an applicable college degree, or a credential from the (ISC)2-approved list.

The CISSP certification requires successfully passing the CISSP exam (administered by (ISC)2) and having met the experience requirements. After class, we recommend self-study to sharpen your weak areas before taking the exam.
