There are a handful of personnel with CISSP in my org that do not have B.S.
They tend to BS, but they don't have a B.S. :-)
I would look elsewhere for the refresher.
Research Shon Harris (isc^2). Most of the personnel where I work,
studied with Shon. They all passed the first time. It may be worth a
look see.
Cheers..............~

I have been in the I.T. field as a sys admin/telecommunications/pseudo security person for 10 years now. I have achieved SANS silver GCIH and CGNA in the past year and a SCP (snort certified professional).
