Day Course
(ICS)2 CISSP Boot Camp - Overview
Certified Information Systems Security Professional
The goal of this seven-day accelerated course is to provide information security professionals a fully-immersed, zero-distraction, all-inclusive CISSP CBK training and certification experience. Our CISSP Firebrand Training encompasses the (ISC)2 CISSP CBK Review Seminar, value-added instruction, on-site examination delivery, meals, and accommodation.
The CISSP certification is governed by the International Information Systems Security Certifications Consortium (ISC)2 and has gained importance as a key component in the selection process for management-level information security positions.
The key advantage of authorized (ISC)2 Institute Training is fundamental: The institute's goal is to provide an extensive overview of the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK), the compendium of information security practices and standards compiled and continually updated by (ISC)2 and used as the basis for the CISSP exam.
The benefits listed below are but a few of the advantages you can receive when doing business with an (ISC)2 host partner. Only authorized host partners:
- Are guaranteed to adhere to stringent technical pre-screening practices - Candidates that do not have the necessary work and education experience my be subject to decertification as per the CISSP "Code of Ethics"
- Guarantee the highest quality of education and customer satisfaction - Candidates are able to contact (ISC)2 directly for program quality assurance
- Utilize (ISC)2 Institute's instructors, trained directly by the consortium - Many CISSP instructors have been training CISSP candidates for five years or more
- Employ the only official (ISC)2 courseware, materials, and CISSP Practice Exams - The product of extensive work from CISSPs, (ISC)2; Instructors, and Subject Matter Experts
- Deliver the (ISC)2 vendor examinations truly on-site
(ICS)2 CISSP Boot Camp - Benefits
Information security professionals invest substantially in information assets, including technology, architecture and process. But how can protection of these assets be ensured? Only through the strengths of the professionals in charge.

(ICS)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.
Firebrand Training staff interview all potential students regarding their technical background, degrees and certifications held, and personal fortitude. This screening process ensures a successful match between the customer and Firebrand Training toward accelerated training and certification.
Firebrand Training is an aggressive training environment. You must have an attitude aimed for success. 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.
