It's fairly simple, the only caveat is once you pass you have to prove you have the required experience with your resume and an endorsement letter.

You sign up via their website and pick the city/location/date you want to take the test. Once you pay them, you sit back, study and mentally prep yourself for the actually exam which is a 6 hour/250 question marathon.

If needed, you could also pay for a seminar, alot of seminars have the actual test on the last day, but I didn't go that route so I can't answer specifics about that , I went the self study route.

Let me know if you have any other specific questions.

That's working on the assumption your going for the CISSP exam and not SSCP. but bascially the principles are the same, just the amount you pay and length of time for the actual exam vary

The first thing you need to do is decide which cert you want to persue. After that, pick your study materials, study, and prepare for the hardest exam of your life lol.
