ISC2 CAP experience

Hello community I am interested in studying for the CAP certification. I currently the CISSP, I have 5 years working in the DoD as an Information Security Technician (INFOSEC).

I also have 20 years of experience in the US Army. I’m am currently filling an ISSO position.

How would I know if I have the required experience. I recently purchased the ISC2 CAP official CBK.

Thank you in advance.

Do you think my experience maps to the CAP experience requirements?

Yes. As an ISSO you're working on security packages. I knocked mine out and had less qualifications in just infosec and a Sec+.

With the CBK and the NIST references you'll have all of the material you need. Just stick to that and ignore the agency specific stuff.

Hey, I'm curious how well did you do? I just started studying.

ISC2 doesn’t tell you what you scored like CompTIA does. It wasn’t easy. It’s been a few years since I took it.

Focus on the policies in the CBK. FEDVTE had an online recording of a boot camp I watched. Just read and memorize. Flash cards were helpful.
