Re: CISSP vs PMP
Comment by shoey · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsAppreciate you asking about this. I found out yesterday a coworker of mine has both and she said the PMP took minimal studying (as she had completed the CISSP just over a year before taking the PMP). I will be scheduling the PMP in December and will update what I found. -
CISSP vs PMP
Discussion by shoey · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsDoes anyone have both a CISSP and PMP cert? I read a few of the end of chapter questions in the pmbok (my buddy is studying up for it now), and it seemed pretty straightforward; especially when compared to the CISSP. Just curious about study time (or if you really had to study that much compared to the CISSP). Please know… -
Re: CISSP vs PMP
Comment by soccarplayer29 · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsI took the CISSP about 2-3 years before the PMP. Having taken both I'd say that the only overlap between the CISSP and PMP is the "think like a manager" mentality. I found the PMP material to be a bit dry and required considerable amount of studying/memorization of the processes and formulas. Some of the questions/material… -
Re: CISSP vs PMP
Comment by heatmizer6 · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management Certificationshow long did you study for the PMP? I also have both certs but thought the PMP was a lot harder than the CISSP. I studied for the CISSP for only 1month and was able to pass it. However, I know people much smarter than myself fail the test 2/3 times before passing. I studied for the PMP 4 months fail it the first time… -

Comment by Kyrak · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsCongrats! Maybe the CISSP seemed easier to me because I took my PMP first. There is overlap I found especially in the Risk Management area. -

Re: CISSP vs PMP
Comment by matt18e · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsI took the CISSP exam in 2013. I took a 2 week crash course, and the following Monday I took the exam and passed. I took my PMP in 2017. I took an online course and studied for 5 months and passed. They were both very tough exams, but PMP was a lot more difficult to me because you really have to know the processes as well…
