From: inetsec2002 at yahoo.com (george jetson) Subject: CISSP Test The CISSP is a valuable certification - to a point, but my gripe is with the staying certified process. ISC2 constantly sends out invitations to get CPEs (basically continuing education credits) for certificate holders to get from 10 to 30 credits towards the required amount of 120 CPEs in 3 yrs, that cost an exorbitant amount. Prices often range from 700+ to nearly 3 grand. At a median price of 1500 bucks for 30 CPEs it would end up costing 6000 dollars over 3 yrs just to stay certified. That in my opinion is just plain stupid. The CISSP certification started out as a way to establish a certificate holders knowledge - - it has turned into just another money making scheme. I really don't mind having to have CPEs to stay certified but being employed in this field counts as nothing - regardless of the research attached to the position. You have to go "above the norm" or pay for the CPEs. Heck we all know what goes on at seminars. Bleh.... worthless for the most point. Lot's of fun but that's about it. Well that's my 2 cents..... flame away.... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Helps protect you from nasty viruses. http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
