The following topics are presented during our CISSP Program:
Information Security and Risk Management
Security management entails the identification of an organisation's information assets and the development, documentation, and implementation of policies, standards, procedures, and guidelines.

(ISC)2 - CISSP Boot Camp - Prerequisites
To become a CISSP, a candidate must successfully complete two processes: Examination and Certification:
Examination
The eligibility requirements to sit for the CISSP examination are completely separate from the eligibility requirements necessary to be certified.
To sit for the CISSP examination, a candidate must:
- Submit the examination fee
- Assert that he or she possesses a minimum of five years of professional experience in the information security field (or four years plus a college degree for prospective candidates effective January 01, 2003)
- Complete the Candidate Agreement, attesting to the truth of his or her assertions regarding professional experience and legally commit to adhere to the CISSP Code of Ethics
- Successfully answer four questions regarding criminal history and related background
Certification
To be issued a certificate, a candidate must:
- Pass the CISSP exam with a scaled score of 700 points or greater
- Submit a properly completed and executed Endorsement Form
- If the candidate is selected for audit, they must successfully pass that audit of their assertions regarding professional experience
Endorsement
Once a candidate has been notified of passing the CISSP examination, he or she will be required to have his or her application endorsed by a CISSP before the credential can be awarded. If no CISSP can be found, another qualified professional with knowledge of information systems or an officer of the candidates corporation can be used to validate the candidate's professional experience.
The endorser will attest that the candidate's assertions regarding professional experience are true to the best of their knowledge, and that the candidate is in good standing within the information security industry.
Upon receipt of the Endorsement Form and barring a random audit of the candidate's professional experience, the CISSP credential should be awarded within one business day, with a formal notification sent via e-mail.
Audit
A percentage of the candidates who pass the CISSP examination and submit endorsements will be randomly subjected to audit and required to submit a resume for formal review and investigation.
If audited (subject to results), the credential will be awarded within seven business days and notification sent via e-mail. Naturally, there may be some delays due to mail service or the number of forms received. Also, audits may require additional time for verifying information and/or contacting references.
We interview all applicants for the course on their technical background, degrees and certifications held, and general suitability. If you get through this screening process, it means you stand a great chance of passing.
Firebrand Training is an immersive training environment. You must be committed to the course. The above prerequisites are guidelines, but many students with less experience have other background or traits that have enabled their success in accelerated training through Firebrand Training.

(ISC)2 - CISSP Boot Camp Testimonials
"Very intensive and high pressured but very worth while as a way to test your existing knowledge prior to the exam."
Anon.,
NHS.
(ISC)2 CISSP Boot Camp (7 Days) (5/9/2005 to 11/9/2005)
"The experience is an intense and tiring one, but it does make you ready for the CISSP exam. "
Christine Lewis, QBE Europe.
(ISC)2 CISSP Boot Camp (7 Days) (18/9/2006 to 24/9/2006)
"Although it was hard work, often meaning working into the evening studying, it was very rewarding. The instructor had a positive attitude and explained things in a clear and precise way. The food was excellent and plentiful. Overall it was a perfect place to study for 7 days with no distractions. It was great to see that everyone was determined to pass the exam."
Mark Addison, Co-operative Financial Services.
(ISC)2 CISSP Boot Camp (7 Days) (10/9/2007 to 16/9/2007)
"This course is a must if you want to pass your CISSP first time. Had I spent the same amount of time studying on my own instead, I may well not have passed that exam. I can highly recommend this boot camp. A very important part of the course was preparing for the exam, something that the various books I have seen on the subject are not able to do. This is especially true of the sample questions in many books that may result in your memorizing numerous facts not really neccessary for the exam, at the expense of the conceptual understanding that you really require. "
Don Williams, I am no longer at NTL.

J.F, NATO.
(ISC)2 CISSP Boot Camp (7 Days) (12/1/2009 to 18/1/2009)
"Ich habe den CISSP Kurs in Eynsham Hall besucht. Die Lernumgebung war hervorragend. Da sowohl für zurückgezogenes Lernen, als auch für den Austausch untereinander eine optimale Umgebung gewählt wurde. Der Trainer hat sich sehr bemüht uns optimal auf die Prüfung vorzubereiten - auch wenn das Verständnis davon, wie die Prüfung im Detail aussehen würde, von den Teilnehmern sehr unterschiedlich bewertet wurde. Der Trainer war sehr kompetent und methodisch versiert.
Alles in allem ist dieser Kurs sehr zu empfehlen!"

(ISC)2 CISSP Boot Camp (7 Days) (30/6/2003 to 6/7/2003)
