Thank you!

[@dylanzimmer2614]

when you submit does it send your endorser an email?

[@cissptraining]

Yes that is correct. The endorser will get notification.

what? I'll just get a valid, authentic, real DEGREE with which I am not required to PAY a maintenance FEE ANUALLY. I was sleeping listening to this. lololol. Oh Lord. I can't understand the logic in their reasoning. I have a Masters' degree and they had the stupidity to publish that you can only substitute a AN ADVANCED DEGREE for only one year of their cheap little one-stop certification!!!! My goodness!!

[@cissptraining]

Well...I will agree and disagree a bit. Having an advanced degree is an amazing task and it is an incredible accomplishment that you should be very proud of. However, the CISSP's focus is around the practical experience related to the profession....hence the reason for a work experience requirement. I am sure it is probably different for you, but when I taught advanced college courses the students were very bright and had great acumen related to the topics around cybersecurity, but.....they didn't have the practical experience from their time in college. I don't disagree that it would be nice to have the advanced degrees worth more toward the experience requirement...but they had to draw line somewhere and I guess they chose 1 year. Best of luck to you!

Fee free to ask this anywhere. But for everyone I've met it goes like this. Best = real world experience. 2nd best = certification in the specific area. 3rd best = university degree. Ideally someone should have a mix of all three. But experience and mentorship will always be king.

[@cissptraining]

@@bobsmith-wu2go I agree...a combination of the three is best....but i am a proponent of using any opportunity you can to enhance your work experience. You just need to think about it from the big picture.
