Prerequisites

Prerequisites:

This is an advanced level course. You should have a base knowledge or certification in SSCP. If you wish to take the course without the foundational topics of SSCP, then you'll be expected to supplement the course materials with outside resources.

Certification Requirements:

The CCSP certification has specific requirements, as established by (ISC)2. To learn more about these and what it takes to qualify for the certification.

Candidates must have a minimum of five years cumulative, full-time experience in information technology. Three years must be in information security, and one year must be in one or more of the six domains of the current CCSP 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. Earning an additional credential from the ISC2 approved list may be substituted for one year of experience in one or more of the six domains of the CCSP Exam Outline. An active CISSP credential may be substituted for the entire CCSP experience requirement. Part-time work and internships may also count towards the experience requirement.

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

Part-time work and internships may also count towards your experience.
