CISSP Certification Experience requirements
Candidates must have a minimum of five years of cumulative paid work experience in two or more of the eight domains of the CISSP CBK. Earning a four-year college degree or regional equivalent or an additional credential from the (ISC)² approved list will satisfy one year of the required experience. Education credit will only satisfy one year of experience.
Don't have 5 years of experience? - Become an Associate of (ISC)²

Through the Associate of (ISC)² program, you can take the CISSP certification exam without the required work experience. When you pass, you become an Associate of (ISC)² as you work to gain the necessary experience to achieve full certification.
The exam can be purchased as an additional optional extra or directly with (ISC)².
