(ICS)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.

Our trainer, instilled in me a craving to gain knowledge to a level I did not know I was able attain in such a short space of time. As a result of this experience, I intend to continue with the Cisco accreditation processes and proceed with further education, and I sincerely hope trainers with the calibre of the trainer I had will be available to encourage and inspire me.

Christopher Dean, Euroclear Group.
ISACA CISM (4 Days) (2/6/2008 to 5/6/2008)
"A poet could probably describe the experience better, but I'd start by saying the course was a relentless and torrential learning experience. From the day you arrive to the moment you leave, you are in a concentrated learning environment and you mind is assualted with education. I feel the use of aggressive adjectives is apt as you will learn, you will learn quickly and you don't have a choice in the matter, which is exceptional. Most people who require a course like this lead busy lives and don't have time away from work to learn new skills. It is ideal for the subject. I also wish that University was presented in a way like this. It would have been much more productive to complete a semester in 9 days than 6 months..."
Dustan Jones, Student.

"When they say intensive they mean it! 8:30 to 8:00 every day and 3 or 4 hours of homework every day. I have not worked this hard in a long long time. The breaks we did get meant eating the very good food, far top fast to enjoy it! Bring your MP3 player if you need music to study as it's quiet and beautiful surroundings are sometimes a bit too quiet!"
