The Gold Standard

CISSP is long regarded as the gold standard of security qualifications. It draws from a comprehensive, up-to-date, global common body of knowledge that ensures security leaders have a deep knowledge and understanding of new threats, technologies, regulations, standards, and practices. It is based on the CBK (Common Body of Knowledge) which comprises eight subject domains that the (ISC)2 compiles and maintains through ongoing peer review by subject matter experts.

To attain the CISSP certification candidates must have a minimum of 5 years of direct, full-time security professional work experience in 2 or more of the domains of the CISSP CBK. One year of work experience may be waived by (ISC)2 if the candidate holds a four-year or higher college or university degree or approved credential. Candidates who do not meet these criteria may be given Associate status until conditions are met.

Unsure if you have adequate experience?

If you are unsure whether you meet the requisite experience criteria, please refer to the (ISC)2 web site Professional Experience Requirement. Please note that (ISC)2 also offers the option to become an Associate of (ISC)2.

Our trainers make the difference

When you attend a training course there are actually two costs – the course fee, and the value of your time. You can see the fee. But whether you get value for your time and money depends totally on the quality of the course.

Lots of things go into making a great course, but the single most important is always the trainer: their knowledge of the subject, their real world experience that they can draw upon in the class, their ability to answer questions, their communication skills. This is what makes the difference.

    Senior Security Assurance Engineer, October 2020
  • "It was a good course overall. It's very difficult to deliver a course on-line as one does not get body cues from trainees, i.e. if they're understanding the course content or not. Peter did well and is clearly experienced at what he does. A worthwhile course and would certainly recommend."
    manager, September 2020
  • "Peter did really well coping with five days straight of virtual training. It's not easy when you can't get the in person non-verbal cues to gauge learner responses. I was very happy to learn virtually as it gave me the flexibility to move around the room and feel more physically comfortable than in a normal classroom."
    Senior manager, September 2020
  • "No issues with audio or video quality, encouraging everyone to be on camera enabled a more interactive and focused environment often lost in remote training. Very in-depth, covered the topics adequately and explained well. The provisioning of materials before the course start date is often lacking and this was very helpful and much appreciated. The inclusion of the sticky note pack was a nice touch that I really valued and showed an attention to detail that was much appreciated."
