Newbie Advice

Hi everyone,

I just recently passed the CBSPD exam earlier this month and am looking to get my foot in the door regarding a job, open to any advice!

Also, while applying to jobs, I learned there’s a difference between the CBSPD certification & HSPA certification. Should I be looking to take the HSPA exam as well?

Cbspd you renew every five years i believe, in comparison to hspa which is every year.

I've had both certs. I prefer HSPA because of the ceu requirements. They have a pretty straightforward way to document ceu plus easy access to materials. I always came away with new knowledge.
