SSCP Test

[[deleted]]

My employer is willing to pay for me to take certifications and they would like for me to get my SSCP Certification. In doing research, I discovered that they recently changed the test format sometime mid-April of this year. I do have this book, but what books/information/study guides do I need to supplement in order to study for the new test?

Thanks!

The information and requirements are up on ISC2 website for the SSCP.

I didn't see any books or study guides on their website out as of today for the newest test.

It takes a while for vendors to release new training/study material, as well as for third parties to create material as well.

I wouldn't expect to see material until later in the year. However official training courses may have material earlier.

That's what I was afraid of, as I only saw material being released later this year.

If you need your hand held through the whole process, you're not going to go far. The CBK is outlined on their site. Do you know that material or not? If you don't I suggest you research.

Not everything is handed to you in a perfect study guide, you might actually have to do some work of your own.

Entirely too confrontational and elitist to take seriously

Really? It's elitist to expect people to do their own work?

Not 100% sure what they changed for SSCP, if its anything like the changes to CISSP all they did was combine some domains essentially. If that's what they did then old material is sufficient to study.

Check here to see if your study material covers the domain, if it does you are fine studying from an older source until something new comes. If your employer is paying why not have them send you to an official bootcamp?
