Good day, The CISSP DOES NOT require any minimum level of education. A bachelor degree is NOT required and anyone who has the required professional experience can take the exam. There is also a special program called the CISSP ASSOCIATE where you can take the exam without the required professional experience and then once you gather the 4 years of professional experience you will be granted the full CISSP title. Your SANS certification can count for one year of professional experience. Please look at the following flash based presentation that I have just created, it will answer ALL of your questions about how to become a CISSP: http://www.cccure.org/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=92 You can visit www.cccure.org for free quizzes and CISSP study resources as well. Best of luck in your studies Clement -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Mark Matrafajlo Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 3:38 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Re: CISSP I'm pretty sure that CISSP only requires an AS with 3-4 years exp. I'm not sure about the SANS mentor class though On 28 Nov 2006 19:27:51 -0000, jlehman () mail esignal com <jlehman () mail esignal com> wrote:
I was going to take the SANS mentor class for the CISSP. But I have just
discovered that they are requiring a B.S. degree, which I don't have. I have been in the I.T. field as a sys admin/telecommunications/pseudo security person for 10 years now. I have achieved SANS silver GCIH and CGNA in the past year and a SCP (snort certified professional).
I don’t have a B.S. because I decided to be a chef,a nd got a
culinary arts degree. I did that for 15+yeard and made it to my goal, but I make much more today than I did as a restaurateur.
So people, should I continue to peruse the SANS track, or somehow get that
B.S and get the CISSP eventually? I see many job postings that are asking for CISSP certs.
