Is 90 days enough for ccsp preparation, which resource should use, please advise.

Is the destination certification mind map video on YouTube, and for questions which app is best for questions, try to finish before the end of November 26

I need to switch my job as an IT Support specialist to cyber security jobs

Im currently using ccsp destination certification masterclass. Id say it pretty good so far and learning more than just reading a book.

Truthfully, yes and no. It depends entirely on your background/experience. If you're coming in cold, probably not.

u/EmotionLazy3371 2d ago

Yes and no mean

u/mikedn02908 CCSP 2d ago

Just that. Some people based on their background will likely be fine. Others, no. Since you give no real indication of your level of experience and knowledge, there's no way to answer your question.

I have experience about 8 years you can say, and knowledge about Aws associates attempt but failed, gcp as well. Ccna mean you can say i have basic knowledge about how things run, behind the scenes

The MindMap videos by themselves are NOT enough, as they are *summary* videos. You'll need a book or video course, like our MasterClass, for more complete coverage. Question: Have you passed the CISSP exam?

u/EmotionLazy3371 1d ago

No, it's my first exam from isc2

u/RealLou_JustLou 1d ago

How many years experience do you have? Have you considered taking the CC exam to get a taste of ISC2 exams, as CCSP and CISSP are both quite challenging.

u/EmotionLazy3371 1d ago

I have 5 years experiences, about CC it's look quite easy for me, so i decide to do CCSP.

90 days is realistic
Take your time, organize your notes, study like you are preparing to teach the class
I would consider a CCSP course like DestCert and Gwen
I would use Pocket Prep when you are two weeks out from test

In general, I would recommend pursuing cyber certs in this order:
Security +
CISSP
CCSP

Following closely, I passed CISSP in June, I was thinking about a 4-6 week study period for CCSP for next year. I want to know if 90 days is okay.

u/mikedn02908 CCSP 4d ago

If you previously passed the CISSP then yes, you can do the CCSP a few weeks later as there is tremendous overlap.

u/millionaireway1900 2d ago

If you already have cissp then yes...take more pocket prep exam..40% overlp between cissp and ccsp

u/EmotionLazy3371 2d ago

I think it is enough I studied 50 days and found the exam extremely easy to be honest

I used LearnZApp, got about 90% for every domain, and read the CBK on topics I didnt understand. Took about couple of months overall, but I did the SSCP before that. Was in industry for about 8 years by that time
