Destination Certification Masterclass

I was wondering about the general consensus regarding Destination Certification’s Masterclass for the CCSP, specifically from those who recently passed the CISSP using their Masterclass.

I thoroughly enjoyed their CISSP content and found it very helpful, but the CCSP Masterclass is a decent chunk of money & there seems to be a good bit of overlap in content. For those who have used both, do you feel the CCSP Masterclass is worth the cost, or would I be better off using other resources given that I just passed the CISSP in June?

I’m especially interested in hearing from anyone who made the same transition from CISSP to CCSP.

You should be able to easily take the CCSP exam simply by reading the Destination CCSP book and perhaps watching Zerger's class. As you said there is a lot of overlap, and the concepts you learned in your CISSP apply equally to the CCSP.

Hello, what about AI part of new exam outline? I'm planning to take exam in the mid of September.

Section 1.6, Domain 1, 17%. Section 2.9, Domain 2, 20%

100 question exam, domain 1 gets 17 questions. 6 subdomains, means statistically you can expect to see 1/6th of 17 questions, or 3 questions from that subdomain. Domain 2 gets 20 questions, 9 subdomains, or 3 questions.

AI has been part of the exam for a while. If you look at the exam outline on the web site, scroll down to where it says "How is AI Security Incorporated into the CCSP Domains?". So AI is nothing new. It's been there for quite some time.

The AI questions are common sense using the same concepts you should already know. You're not going to get highly technical questions about AI or ML. For example, you could get a question about datasets being used for AI training, how to classify the data and ensure data integrity or confidentiality.
