I've studied for lots of exams over the last 3-4 years and I've completed them all (with the exception of MSP) through studying at home in the evenings. I don't tend to find training courses as useful, largely because they tend to be focused on a boot camp style brain dump which I then promptly forget a few months later...
In this section is a list of the various things I've studied post university and I've tried to include resources for the various items where possible.
My vocational qualifications include:
- CSSLP (ISC)2 - Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional
- CISSP (ISC)2 - Certified Information Systems Security Professional
- MBCS CITP - British Computer Society Chartered IT Professional
- MSPP - Managing Successful Programmes Practitioner
