Good day George, I will concede with you that ISC2 has had and still has today some inability to communicate effectively with their membership and the community as a whole. Their advertising is aggressive and really makes it look as if you have to buy your CPE's. There are multitude of other ways to get CPE's: You can write new exam questions You can read a book You can subscribe to some of the recognize magazine You can teach others You can attend seminars or any other form of security training You can write articles You can work on the board of a security organization You can proctor exams You can most definitively get CPE for your research if it is published And the list goes on...

ISC2 constantly sends out invitations to get CPEs (basically continuing education credits) for certificate holders to get from 10 to 30 credits towards the required amount of 120 CPEs in 3 yrs, that cost an exorbitant amount. Prices often range from 700+ to nearly 3 grand. At a median price of 1500 bucks for 30 CPEs it would end up costing 6000 dollars over 3 yrs just to stay certified. That in my opinion is just plain stupid. The CISSP certification started out as a way to establish a certificate holders knowledge - - it has turned into just another money making scheme. I really don't mind having to have CPEs to stay certified but being employed in this field counts as nothing - regardless of the research attached to the position. You have to go "above the norm" or pay for the CPEs. Heck we all know what goes on at seminars. Bleh.... worthless for the most point. Lot's of fun but that's about it. Well that's my 2 cents..... flame away.... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
