Hi Stacnet,

No, you wouldn't need to do RPL - the MCSE is an answer to that as far
as the ACS Group B is concerned - but whether you qualify for a Group A
assessment (ie only needing four years work experience) depends on your
having a degree in IT, so my guess is that the earliest you can apply is
next year. I would just note that your diploma may be worth 60 points,
meaning that you could apply immediately if you had the points in other
respects - the MODL points for CISSP can only be confirmed by an ACS
assessment afaik.

Cheers,

Dear Mr. Lombard,

Thank you for the quick and succinct reply.

I wanted to add more information with regards to my case, i.e i have
been working since 1993 - However untill 1999, my job profile involved
70% Telecom related job and 30% Computing content. Since Feb of 2000, my
job profile changed the other way round. However my problem is that the
company i worked from Feb 2000 until May 2001 has been taken over by a
Multi-National and the name and entire management has changed, hence
getting an reference from them is an issue and moreover i am no longer
in that country.

I have been working in the present country/company since June 2001 and
hence any paperwork/references here is not an issue.

With regards to MODL - CISSP, i got certified at CISSP in June this
year and the requirement to be a CISSP includes a minimum of 4 years
direct experience in security. (https://www.isc2.org/cgi-
bin/content.cgi?category87), however i am not sure how ACS does its
assessment with regards to CISSP, do i need to apply 1 year after the
CISSP or do they consider the experience due to which the CISSP cert
was granted?

I suppose MODL points are crucial for me to qualify in the point tests.
without which i may perhaps end up with 115 points.

Thanks again and look forward to more inputs.

Regards

Stacnet

Hi Stacnet,

These are familiar issues to us in our practice and it seems to me that
you might benefit from employing an agent. You're not likely to get a
definitive answer from these newsgroups on a question of this
complexity.

Cheers,
