The (ISC)² Pittsburgh Chapter is seeing great success by providing study sessions for both the CISSP and CCSP exams.
While participating in a study group does not guarantee passing the exam, it does; however, help to connect with others, put learning into practice and implement study tips. We asked the Pittsburgh Chapter about their recipe for success in hosting study groups and having a high pass rate.
If other chapters would like to replicate their success, they need to:
Have a passionate leader run the sessions.
Invite many people to join, even outside of the local geography.
Offer both in-person and online study sessions.
Be open and inclusive; allowing people of all skillsets and career levels to be involved.
The most successful study groups have a leader who guides the group and manages the session making sure the group stays on track. The chapter has found it works best if students pick and teach a domain to the entire group. That way, each student is vested and accountable to learn their domain thoroughly enough to help the other students.
These teaching sessions can be replicated on video-conferencing platforms if in-person meetings are not feasible.
Join the (ISC)² Pittsburgh Chapter for a free webinar on July 20 at 11:00 a.m. ET to hear how they created these successful study groups.
