To ensure a successful learning experience and maximize the benefits of the CISSP Course, participants should ideally have the following prerequisites:

(ISC)2 has defined the qualification requirements you must meet to become a CISSP. First, you must be a practicing security professional with at least five years’ full-time paid work experience or with four years’ experience and a recent IT or IS degree or an approved security certification (see isc2.org for details). Professional experience is defined as security work performed for salary or commission within two or more of the eight CBK domains.  Second, you must agree to adhere to a formal code of ethics. The CISSP Code of Ethics is a set of guidelines (ISC)2 wants all CISSP candidates to follow to maintain professionalism in the field of information systems security. You can find it in the Information section on the (ISC)2 website at isc2.org. (ISC)2 also offers an entry program known as an Associate of (ISC)². This program allows someone without any or enough experience to qualify as a CISSP to take the CISSP exam anyway and then obtain experience afterward. Associates are granted six years to obtain five years of security experience. Only after providing proof of such experience, usually by means of endorsement and a résumé, can the individual be awarded CISSP certification.
