How to pass CCZT successfully?
Certificate of Competence in Zero Trust (CCZT) is a new and currently the only certification for Zero Trust from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) on the market.
Are you considering the CCZT Certification?
Take a look 🔍 at these 5 simple steps:
Spend a few minutes asking yourself:
- What kind of personality do I exhibit during exams?
- How do I react if the questions are very hard, or if they seem quite easy?
- How do I manage my time during exams?
- Clear your desk, put your phone away, and reserve enough time.
- Read each question twice, especially if you are not a native speaker.
- If you start feeling too comfortable, remember that it’s not over yet!
- If you get nervous, take a moment to calm yourself.
There are several methods for answering multiple-choice questions. Which one do you prefer?
Can you eliminate at least one answer as being clearly incorrect?
It's an open-book exam, but that can sometimes make things harder. Preparation is key!
- Familiarize yourself with Zero Trust terminology and review the official glossary from CSA.
- Decide how much time you would like to invest in training.
- Choose your preferred learning method—can you study on your own?
- Let your favourite bot quiz you with multiple-choice questions—I used "Bellamy" from CCZT Training.
- Listen to PDF summaries or Student Book content while at the gym or jogging.
And always remember: You are not alone—talk to others and network.
Are you aiming to pass on your first attempt, or will you just give it a try to see what happens? Consider this before you start the exam; it will ease the pressure.
Decide on your strategy for answering the questions: Go quickly and review your answers twice, or go through everything in detail.
Initially, I tried studying on my own, but it didn’t go as planned. I struggled with time management and discipline, so I couldn’t make significant progress, even after rearranging my schedule several times.
Eventually, I realized I needed the structure and focus that comes with instructor-led training. Despite the challenge of finding enough time, I recognized how essential this was to my success.
That’s why I wholeheartedly recommend the CCZT training with Peter HJ van Eijk. His flexible approach allows attendees to re-join future sessions, which provides the continuity and support I needed to stay on track.
Thank you CSA for providing me with foundational knowledge on Zero Trust and for showing me the horizon.
