(ISC)2 - SSCP Certification - Overview

Systems Security Certified Practitioner

SSCP Certification was designed to recognize an international standard for practitioners of information security [IS] and understanding of a Common Body of Knowledge (CBK). It focuses on practices, roles and responsibilities as defined by experts from major IS industries. Certification can enhance an IS career and provide added credibility.

The goal of this seven-day accelerated course is to provide IT and information security professionals with a fully-immersed, zero-distraction, all-inclusive SSCP training and certification experience.

Our SSCP Firebrand Training encompasses the (ISC)2 SSCP CBK Review Seminar, intense hands-on instruction, on-site examination delivery, meals, and accommodation.

SSCP accreditation provides information security personnel and their employers with international credibility. It also gives their employers a reliable measure of professional competence. As the demand for SSCP certification has more than doubled in the past year, Firebrand Training has responded with an all-inclusive, hands-on, seven-day training program tailored specifically to its knowledge requirements.

"A well paced and well balanced Prince2 2009 course conducted by friendly and helpful tutor."
A.S, NHS.

"The CCNA course is no doubt difficult to say the least, but with the instructors help Ive managed to pass the CCENT and CCNA, and I've never had any experience with Cisco equipment before! The course is thorough, well taught. Just make sure you cram in enough reading and sleep to perform at your best! 10/10 for this course!!"
Jaimin Rao, unemployed.

"Expect to work hard in this total immersion environment and you will achieve your expectations. I chose Firebrand Training for my Microsoft SharePoint 2007 training needs as I had a previous good experience with them."
B.B, MOD.

"The accelerated learning CCNA course will develop existing skills but the speed of delivery of material is such that without prior experience you are unlikely to succeed. Take time to gain some experience and knowledge in the area of study prior to enrolling on a course."
J.E, MOD.

"It was good. For a person in with my personal circumstances, it is the only way I could have achieved this kind of focus on the course material. The place is well run and very accomodating. As the particular course I did was hugely intense, the tutor offered great support and had a teaching style which would have appealed to a wide audience."
Peter McCormack, Pinewood Technologies.

"Very educational and productive, provides excellent knowledge levels and degree of detail required to successfully complete the desired training level certification. I enrolled on the MCITP SQL Server 2008 course because of previous experience with Firebrand and recommendations with colleagues and comments."
K.K, Xerox UK.

"Great SQL Server 2008 course. Tutor was superb. Loads of real world examples and expertise. Not just another Microsoft course."
Phil Pragnell, Collins Stewart.

"I attended the CCNA 6-day intensive course. It really is intensive, but coming in as someone without much experience in the area, the Firebrand trainer provided expert coaching and a great course with labs and examples to get me a really good pass score in the time. I highly recommend Firebrand!"
Pav Kudlac, Accenture.

"Outstanding course, the training centre was entirely focused on the course. The days were long but if you arrive expecting to work hard and are willing to put the effort it definitely pays off. I wont be going to other training centres after this."
Lindsey Keen, Pinewood Technologies.

"Without this type of training I wouldn't pass my CCNA exams!"
Miro Ivanovic, Cisco Systems.

John Ashton, Somerset County Council.

"Overall, my experience at Firebrand Training was a positive one.

Carl Johnston, National Institute for Health Research.

Craig Warren, PA Consulting.

"My Firebrand experience was tough. You need a good foundation of knowledge and the ability to learn quickly to go with it. The classes sometimes feel that they are going at 100 miles an hour. If you can keep up it is great. The trainers really know their stuff and bring together all of the components in such a way that it makes really good sense. I learnt loads, over and above my considerable industry experience, and of course where else can you achieve MCSE in 2 weeks?"
Martin Bowker, unemployed.

"Be ready to work harder than you expect to. "
I.H, Catlin Underwriting.

"As a returning student I was pleasantly surprised with the welcome and support I received. We were all old friends. All my needs were met and it was a pleasure to attend the MCSE course. I did not expect to get new enrollments of Measureups and extra stationary, but thank you. The new facilities certainly make it an enjoyable study venue, well done."
K.H, Unemployed.

R.M, Agresso.
