To be honest, it seems to be a step backwards if you already have CISSP. My understanding of it, is its smaller scope than the CISSP, focusing primarily on the business side of things, and less on the technical side. But I haven't looked into it too much. -

I am sure there will be things to learn in the cert, I never see learning new things as a step backwards. -

I'm not discouraging your from learning the material. But a certification has nothing to do with learning things. A certification is a strategic career investment, and often an expensive one (unless your company is paying for it...in which case, go for it). You can easily learn without getting a certification. In my personal opinion, CAP would add nothing additional to your resume. -

I had a professor in grad school who was in love with this cert for some reason. Made it sound like people who have it are very wealthy. I'm not convinced.

By going for the certification it helps me to focus and study harder which in turns helps me to learn more learning and certification go hand in hand for me.
Saying CAP would add nothing additional to a resume is incorrect as it all depends what job you are applying for and tailing your CV to that job.
My original questions still stands, has anyone actually done the CAP and want to share there opinion on it?
