 * FAQs FAQs
   Q:
   
   Why is (ISC)² developing an entry-level certification?
   
   
   A:
   
   Research from (ISC)² and others continues to conclude that there is a global
   shortage of qualified cybersecurity professionals. While there are many
   contributing factors, we believe one solution is to create a certification
   that enables candidates – including students, young professionals and
   career-changers – to demonstrate to employers their familiarity with
   foundational cybersecurity concepts as determined by cybersecurity
   professionals and practitioners already in the field.
   
   Q:
   
   What is (ISC)² Certified in Cybersecurity℠?
   
   
   A:
   
   (ISC)² Certified in Cybersecurity is a foundational cybersecurity
   certification designed to help recipients build a pathway to a rewarding
   career in cybersecurity. This entry-level certification will prove to
   employers you have the foundational knowledge, skills and abilities necessary
   for an entry- or junior-level cybersecurity role. It proves your willingness
   and ability to learn and grow on the job. Learn more here.
   
   Q:
   
   Who should consider participating in this opportunity?
   
   
   A:
   
   The Certified in Cybersecurity entry-level certification is ideal for:
   
    * IT professionals
    * Career changers
    * College students or recent graduates
   
   Q:
   
   How much work experience is required to earn this certification?
   
   
   A:
   
   Unlike other (ISC)² certifications, there is no work experience requirement
   to earn the entry-level Certified in Cybersecurity certification.
   
   Q:
   
   Why will this certification be different from other foundational
   certifications?
   
   
   A:
   
   We believe a need still exists in our industry for a certification that is
   attainable for newcomers and recognizes the growing trend of people entering
   the cybersecurity workforce without direct IT experience. Employers need
   confidence that when hiring new entrants into the field they have a solid
   grasp of the right technical concepts, and a demonstrated aptitude to learn
   on the job. Moreover, as an (ISC)² certification, the recipient will be an
   (ISC)² member backed by the world’s largest network of certified
   cybersecurity professionals helping them continue their professional
   development and earn new achievements and qualifications throughout their
   career.
   
   Q:
   
   What can I expect from the online self-paced course?
   
   
   A:
   
   The online self-paced course is a recorded review session that introduces
   learners to the content covered in the (ISC)² Certified in Cybersecurity
   certification exam outline. The review sessions are led by an authorized
   (ISC)² instructor and cover the five domains of the entry-level Certified in
   Cybersecurity certification. The sessions are designed specifically to help
   learners prepare to take the Certified in Cybersecurity exam. This 14-hour
   online learning experience features:
   
    * Pre- and post-course assessments
    * Knowledge checks and end-of chapter study sheets and quizzes
    * Interactive content with applied scenarios and podcasts
    * Online interactive flashcards
    * 180-day access to course content
   
   
   
   Q:
   
   What can I expect from the online instructor-led course?
   
   
   A:
   
   The online instructor-led course is mix of live sessions led by an authorized
   (ISC)2 instructor and an engaging online self-paced experience to build a
   solid foundation of knowledge tested on the entry-level Certified in
   Cybersecurity (CC) exam. This 14-hour blended learning experience features:
   
    * 8 hours of live instruction
    * 6 hours of self-paced content in preparation of live sessions
    * Peer discussions
    * Pre- and post-course assessments
    * Knowledge checks and end-of chapter study sheets and quizzes
    * Online interactive flashcards
    * 180-day access to recorded live sessions and self-paced content

   available in English, Chinese Simplified, German, Japanese, Korean and
   Spanish.
   
   Q:
   
   Can I transfer my free course and/or exam registration to someone else?

   Q:
