How to Get Your CPL.
Am I Eligible for the Engineering CPL?
Earning your Certified Professional License (CPL) is not about memorization—it’s about demonstrating real-world expertise. That’s what makes it valuable. If you have hands-on experience in cybersecurity engineering, you’ve already completed the most challenging part.
Non-Security Engineers
For professionals with IT or security experience but not currently in a security engineering role. This pathway includes college graduates, military personnel, and experienced IT professionals.
Security Engineers
For individuals already serving as security engineers. Proven security engineers are automatically eligible for the CPL evaluation, recognizing their expertise and leadership in the field.
