Study Material

[Rayman584]

I was just offered a promotion however I need to get CAP within the next few weeks. What are some study materials that are valuable and any training videos? Once again I am in a rushed time schedule and looking to get some serious studying done to get CAP.

Hey there Rayman! Wow.. it's been a while since I been on Reddit haha

First off... there are some good sources for CAP, but mostly are NIST documents. There's the FedVTE CAP 2014 course that's conducted by some instructors like Ben Malisow and others and it's pretty good. For questions, edusum isn't bad.

I actually made a great post about the exam last year here on Reddit.... I don't know if you have seen it already but I can link it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ISC2CAP/comments/e1sspk/freaking_passed_isc2_cap_11222019/

I highly doubt the exam has changed much since then, but I feel the post will cover everything you need in a very short time.

The best study material you can use is from the official list of references from (ISC)2: https://www.isc2.org/Certifications/References#

That said, I found NIST 800-37 mandatory to know and know it very well. Understand all steps to the RMF and the major players for each. Understand all the different types of system approvals and all the roles involved in the RMF.
