Exam Details

Note: The CISSP® examination is NOT included as part of this course from BJSL, but the course is designed to prepare delegates for attempting the (ISC)2 examination.

The CISSP exam is a computer-based test (CBT) administered at Pearson VUE Testing centres around the world. The CISSP exam takes the following format:

  • 100 – 150 multiple choice and advanced innovative items
  • There may be scenario-based items with more than one multiple-choice item
  • Duration : 3 hrs
  • Passing Score : To pass your CISSP exam, you need to score at least 700 out of a possible 1000 points.

What are the prerequisites for doing this course?

Candidates must have a minimum of five years cumulative paid work experience in two or more of the eight domains of the CISSP CBK. Earning a four-year college degree or regional equivalent or an additional credential from the (ISC)² approved list will satisfy one year of the required experience. Education credit will only satisfy one year of experience.

A candidate who doesn’t have the required experience to become a CISSP may become an Associate of (ISC)² by successfully passing the CISSP examination. The Associate of (ISC)² will then have six years to earn the five years required experience.
