As long as you can justify your IT support covers 2 of the 8 domains with a total of 5 years working experience, you can be certified. If not, you can take the exam and be an associate while you earn the required experience.

I took almost 2 months of studying before i went for the exam. I'm a sales guy in cybersecurity space and have no prior technical knowledge as i'm a business diploma holder.

Bro, its part of the requirement. If you can't justify that your job is touching 2 of that 8 domain with 5 years experience. You can't be certified, the most you can be an associate and you need to work your way to 5 years experience touching 2 of the 8 domain. Think of what's your goal for taking cissp. If you are looking to get certified then either you change your current plan like change job so that u can gain the necessary experience etc, or ask for internal transfer to job that touches on all these requirements.
If you are just looking to gain knowledge then you can go ahead to take the exam etc. Decide on your own end goal first then decide what you want to do.

Hi can IT support working experience take cissp?


taking it and passing it isnt a problem.
the problem is are you able to get a supervisor or manager to attest the work you have done in order to get certified ?
there are many who passed the exam but do not have related experience or boss doesnt want to attest.

no endorsement or attestation whichever you wish to call it, is by your direct manager. you submit attestation documentation to ICS2 for approval.

For endorsement, get some one in your working environment whom has CISSP certified. Go gossip around in the office, maybe you know a colleague or two whom has this certification.

If you do not have colleagues, you may wish to ask around your friend's circle, or during the class (where you attended the classroom training).

To get endorsement, you need their ISC2 number, their full name (last name, and first name).
