1. If you want to teach classes I'd recommend picking up a teaching credential like the CTT+ (Certified Technical Trainer - http://www.comptia.org/certification/ctt/default.asp). If you'll be teaching a CISSP class at a college or university it's likely they'll want to see at least a Bachelor's degree (depending on if the class is given for credit). If you plan on teaching the material you better know it inside and out. I've seen ill-prepared instructors and it doesn't make me happy when I know I paid a couple thousand dollars for a class and the instructor didn't even bother to take the time to prepare properly. 2. As for the amount of money you can expect it would depend on who you're teaching for, where the classes are held, and how long they are. When teaching techinical education classes for some vendors I get paid by number of students enrolled, with others I get paid by the day no matter how many students are enrolled. The pay varies from company to company and classes to class. Please understand I haven't taught any CISSP classes (working on my CISSP - test in March) but have taught plenty of other technical education courses (mostly Microsoft and CompTIA). I have taught classes for free or bartered for payment in other ways when it was in my and/or the company's best interest.

Is having a valid CISSP, being a current ISC2 member, and knowing the material inside out all you really need.... or do you need additional credentials? 2) Also, what's the monetary range you'd expect for each seminar/bootcamp you throw? if on part time basis? and if you're a novice/moderately experienced? _________________________________________________________________ Learn how to choose, serve, and enjoy wine at Wine @ MSN. http://wine.msn.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethical Hacking at InfoSec Institute.
