Gain the Necessary Work Experience
To qualify for this cybersecurity certification, you must pass the
exam and have at least five years of cumulative, paid work
experience in information technology, of which three years must be
in information security, and one year in one or more of the six
domains of the (ISC)² CCSP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK).
Learn more about CCSP Experience Requirements and how earning CSA’s
CCSK certificate can be substituted for one year of experience, or
how earning (ISC)²’s CISSP credential can be substituted for
the
entire CCSP experience requirement.
Don’t have enough experience yet? You can still pass the CCSP exam
and become an Associate of (ISC)² while you earn the required
work
experience.
