Overcoming CCSK Certification Challenges with Our Unique Flexible program
For the busy professional
CCSK is considered the 'mother' of all cloud security certificates, making it essential for professionals working with cloud, security, architecture, and compliance to have a thorough understanding of its body of knowledge. However, acquiring this knowledge can be challenging for busy professionals, as projects and other life commitments often get in the way. This is where my unique program comes in, designed specifically to help individuals overcome these challenges and succeed in their CCSK mastery.
My CCSK program includes the following components, designed for your optimal success:
5 interactive online sessions of 2 hours each in a 2-week sprint.
Sprints run every other month with no limit on your attendance.
Onboarding sessions for new program members.
Official version 5 courseware with exam included; optional AWS/Azure labs.
Access to past sprint recordings.
Interaction with fellow participants.
Comprehensive support material on CASA e-learning system.
Exam taking tips.
Tailored to your needs
Is this for me?
CCSK is designed to provide IT and business professionals with the necessary background to contribute to their organizations' secure cloud adoption. However, you may have any of the following questions:
Do I have the necessary background knowledge? There is a good chance you don’t. That is where I come in! In my training courses, I encounter three broad types of practitioners, each of whom has their own knowledge gaps. I provide introductory material for each of them, which goes beyond the official courseware, and is all part of this program.
Are all exam topics covered? Yes, and more. After more than 12 years of feedback and improvement, the CCSK body of knowledge, along with my additional courseware, pretty accurately match the needs of your cloud security journey.
Can I commit the time? If cloud security is a part of your job, learning about it should also be a part of your job. However, urgent tasks can disrupt your learning process. That's why you can attend the sprints as often as you like, allowing for more flexibility in your schedule.
Is there a mock exam? Technically no, but you are allowed to take the exam twice, and it is an open book exam.
How relevant is CCSK? CCSK, developed by the vendor-neutral industry association Cloud Security Alliance over 12 years ago, is the oldest and most established cloud security certificate, and many other training courses are based on its content.
Will an online program work for me? I think so, but see for yourself if the features that I put in to adapt the program to your learning style work for you.
Just take a look at the courseware to get an impression of its scope.
Everything you need to get started on securing cloud
What is in CCSK?
The Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) provides a comprehensive and vendor-neutral coverage of all the important topics related to cloud security. It covers various areas including technology and governance, which makes it an excellent tool to boost team performance. If you're interested in learning more about the technical aspects, I would recommend checking out the AWS and Azure labs that are included in the CCSK Plus package. The course is structured as follows to cover all relevant domains.
