Hi everyone,
Please I have a question for anyone who holds an ISC2 credential (CISSP, CCSP, etc.) alongside F5 certifications.
ISC2 accepts exam preparation as Group A CPE (1 credit per hour), but expects you to be able to provide evidence of the hours if audited. Between 2024 and 2025, I completed CTS LTM, ASM, APM, DNS, and CSE Security and Cloud. Most of my preparation was blueprint-driven self-study: K-articles, product manuals, and lab work on VE and UDF. There is no official study guide for these exams, so I don’t have a course certificate showing duration.
A few questions for the community:
- How have you documented F5 exam prep hours for ISC2 (or ISACA) CPE? Did ISC2 accept score reports plus a written summary, or did they ask for more?
- Has anyone used the Continuing Education Credits (CEC) dashboard in the Education Services Portal as supporting evidence? There’s an article titled “Are CEC related to CPE?” in the support centre. Does anyone know F5’s position?
- Does F5 publish recommended preparation hours per exam (301a/b, 302, 303, 304, 401, 402) that could serve as a reference point?
Any pointers from people who’ve been through an ISC2 audit with F5-based claims would be much appreciated.
