I was struggling to finding a way to challenge my career growth and had been looking at self-paced CISSP training books. The material on its own was difficult to stay interested in and motivate to even set a certification goal. I was introduced to Destination Certification CISSP MasterClass by a colleague who also signed up and passed the first attempt. After watching the introduction video and discussing and encouragement form Lou, I felt this was the right approach for me. The content is engaging and made relatable by Rob and John. Thank you for all of the support, I will be recommending this as a security certification track for the rest of my team.

The Destination Certification team is so good at what they do! As a student, it's simply a matter of trusting and following the MasterClass process. Note that simple doesn't necessarily mean easy. You still have to do the work—watch the videos, take notes, do the flashcards, answer the practice questions, take the sample test, and review your weak spots—but if you do, you should find the exam absolutely manageable. I can't thank the team enough for their incredible dedication to high quality education, and for helping me get through this tough exam efficiently and on my first attempt.

Destination Certification was the best decision I made for my CISSP preparation. The masterclass and study material provided by DestCert cover exactly what is needed for the exam. Complex topics are explained with a lot of simplicity, making the preparation journey smoother. I could never feel connected to any material before signing up for the masterclass.

As a recent graduate with no prior experience or systematic knowledge in security, I would never have conquered the formidable CISSP exam without the invaluable assistance of Destination Certification. The high-quality, engaging, and well-organised content, coupled with thoughtfully designed features that facilitate a systematic and well-paced study approach, significantly saved me time and effort in this challenging endeavour. I wholeheartedly believe that anyone aiming to pass the CISSP exam can place their trust in this process. Thank you, Destination Certification, for enabling me to achieve what once seemed an insurmountable goal.

Highly recommend! I liked that the class was self paced so that I could study when it was convenient for me. It was worth the extra money to have Lou as my coach who was essential in providing clarity, guiding me and encouraging me. Having multiple ways to study to compliment the way I learn best was beneficial. Thanks Lou and DestCert!

I wanted to buy a course that I knew would get me to pass the CISSP certification the first time. I spent 2-3 months studying and going through all the material and was able to take the test the first time and passed! Worth the investment.

I strongly recommend using Destination Certification. Rob and John are great instructors while Lou provided great mentorship through my 23-day journey. The cost may been a bit pricey for myself. However, I have thought about the price as an investment for the future. This is coming from someone who did a career change to IT (Information Technology) back in 2020. My advice to those who are deciding to go with Destination Certification is to stick to their plan and do not deviate. I would also advise to stick with Destination Certification and not use any other references to avoid conflicting information. Easy day!

I have tried several CISSP training materials over the years, but none managed to hold my attention. When I came across the free Cryptography Masterclass on the Destination Certification website, I decided to give it a try. After completing the free masterclass, I enjoyed how they presented the different concepts and ended up purchasing the full course. I highly recommend Destination Certification for CISSP preparation and only wish I had discovered them sooner.

Never thought I would be saying that I had scaled that CISSP mountain, but I did thanks to the Dest Cert team passing at 100 Questions. An amazing course with great explanations and examples to help with understanding, laid out perfectly.

John Berti, Your strategy is amazing even when you don’t quite understand the question 100% (there were a few).
Rob Witcher, I could hear many of your pronounced words in the explanations guiding me to the right answer.
Lou Hablas, Thanks for the support, tips and encouragement. What a great team and setup, keep up the good work!!

Destination Certification provided invaluable guidance and resources, helping me navigate the complexities of the CISSP exam. Their expert coaching and comprehensive study materials played a key role in my successful certification. English is not my first language, and the CISSP exam felt incredibly challenging for me. However, Destination Certification's support was exceptional—they not only helped me understand complex concepts but also boosted my confidence, making the exam more manageable.

After one of my friends took the DestCert boot camp, he recommended me to take the DestCert MasterClass. I enrolled in the class, and I started watching the videos according to the custom schedule that was made for me. If I had any questions, I would attend the CISSP Ask Me Anything sessions to ask the DestCert staff my questions. After trusting in the process, I was able to pass my CISSP exam on the first attempt. This is money thay was well spent, as I came out with a pass as well as more knowledge. I feel like a more competent security professional, so I thank the DestCert staff for that!

Getting my CISSP has been a decades-long goal for me, and up until recently I have not been able to find course material or time to complete this objective. Destination Certification provided a multitude of ways to ingest and retain the overwhelming amount of information required to pass the exam, including videos, a workbook, study guide, flashcards/questions, practices exams, Discord channels, Mind Maps, and more. It is the only resource I used to pass, and I couldn’t be more thankful for all the hard work and effort the team put into creating this class.

When I decided to pursue CISSP a year ago, I was not clear on the study materials. I was introduced to DestCert by one of my social media connections. When I went through the mini-master class, straight away I knew I am in the right place so I signed up for the master class without any further procrastination. Rob, John and Lou made my CISSP certification journey easier. Thanks John, Rob and Lou.
