RE: CISSP without experience

["Clement Dupuis" <cdupuis () cccure org>]

Good day,

It is possible to take the exam without having the 4 years of experience or
3 years with a degree.  

There is a program called the "CISSP Associate".  You take the same exam as
everyone else who are attempting the CISSP, there is no difference.  The
only difference is that you must wait until you have cumulated 4 years or 3
years plus a degree to officially become a CISSP.

Take care

I too am intrested in the same & facing the problem that all the jobs
interviewed for required CISSP but i too lack experience. Can we just
take the CISSP and exam and pass it?

Anyone who has done it?
