Our CISSP MasterClass Explained:

CISSP training program that focuses on the exact things you don’t know

The MasterClass will automatically adjust to your knowledge.

When you go through an assessment, study with flashcards, or take a practice exam, the system will recognize if you have any gaps in your knowledge.

Your personalized CISSP review course updates to reflect what you still need to study, so you always have a clear path forward.

You will almost automatically spend your time studying in the most efficient way possible.

  • A concise explanation of the answer
  • CISSP MasterClass video explaining the topic. Taught by Rob & John
  • Detailed explanation of the topic with notes on what aspects of it you are most likely to be tested on
  • Flashcards on the topic
  • MindMap review video for the topic
  • References to the topic: specific page numbers in the most popular study guides (even the official
    study guide) + links to websites
  • Link to the chat where you can ask about the topic

Or let’s say you want to get a clear image of what you still need to study before you’re ready for the exam.

You see that at the glance your CISSP prep course.

You see what you’ve already learned (purple), things you need to review (orange), and what you haven’t yet gone through. You see that for each domain, and you can expand a domain to see which subtopics you still need to study more.

Did you know the CISSP exam will focus on your weakest areas?

After your CISSP exam, if you talk with other participants, they'll all describe a test focused on totally different topics. However, they will all describe a test focused on whatever topics they feel least comfortable with.

As soon as you answer any questions wrong, the exam will adjust. You'll see more and more, often more and more difficult, questions about the areas you got wrong.

In a similar way, our MasterClass will guide you to study the exact areas you might still struggle with. If the real exam hones in on your weaknesses, you won't feel surprised or helpless. You'll know you can answer the questions and get the certification, no matter what the exam throws at you.

Direct answers
from expert teachers
to your questions

You’ll have an easy time preparing for your CISSP certification with everything you need for the CISSP exam. The video lessons make even the trickiest concepts clear and practical.

However, with such a wide range of topics, you might have
some questions about specific topics. If you find yourself
wondering about something, you have access to some of
the top experts in the industry. You get direct, personal answers to all your question.

The CISSP training adjusts to your schedule and keeps you on track

No matter how much you can study each day or week, the CISSP training will adjust to your schedule and keep you on track.

Image of purple and pink gradient with ''1 week'' written on it - Destination Certification

Study like you have no other life

If you can put the rest of your life on hold for a while, you can study for the exam very quickly. We routinely guide people through it all in a week. It’s a bit brutal, but doable.

Image of orange circle with ''4-10 weeks'' written on it - Destination Certification

Study while juggling a job and family

If you can’t just tell your spouse to deal with the kids for a week, this is the best pace for you. You will likely need 4 - 10 weeks to prepare for the exam.

Image of purple circle with ''few months'' written on it - Destination Certification

Study when your other responsibilities leave you with time

If you’re busy and don’t want to adjust your schedule significantly, you should know that the CISSP certification course will take a few months. But you absolutely can do it.

The most common reason people fail the exam

The most common reason people fail the CISSP exam is that they prepare for it as if it was a technical exam.

Sure, you need to study a wide range of technical information. But even if you can recite the entire official 1,300-page CISSP training book, you can easily fail the exam.

Many of the questions offer you multiple correct answers. You need to pick the option that is best for the organization.

In other words, you need to think more like a CEO than a typical security practitioner.

Here’s an example of what that means in practice:

How we’ll make it as easy as possible

for you to pass your CISSP exam

The Destination
Certification CISSP
MasterClass

The video lessons are the heart of the MasterClass.

You learn one clearly defined topic in each video. In addition
to the technical side, you immediately also understand the
bigger-picture considerations you will be tested on in the
CISSP exam.

We’ve done our best to make the content easy to consume.
With over 170 videos, each topic is in bite-sized chunks.
We can’t promise that you’ll find every video fascinating, but
hopefully you’ll appreciate our efforts to make the ideas
more engaging than a typical security lecture.

Detailed written explanations

You get a clear, written summary of every critical concept. These summaries expand on the topics to provide a greater depth of understanding. They include all the tables and diagrams we use in the videos to make it easy for you to dig deeper.

If you ever want a personal answer to a question, you can reach out to us. But you can also come to our weekly live calls to get answers directly.

At least one of our expert 
instructors is there to answer your questions live. We’ll continue for as long as there are questions, so you don’t need to worry about missing your chance to get answers.

Image of weekly group mentoring calls - Destination Certification
Image of Destination CISSP study guide - Destination Certification

Our Study Guide

The official ISC2 CISSP training course is not known for its entertainment value. It’s 1,300 pages of small print with very few images. The information is accurate, of course, but reading it is an Olympic-level exercise in concentration and persistence.

We’ve created our own CISSP study guide, which is a far easier read. It still covers everything you need to learn to pass your exam. And not just the technical stuff either. Just like the Masterclass, we’ve made sure you understand the management-level implications of things, too, because that’s not only what the exam tests for, but also what makes you a great security professional.

Our Workbook

The workbook makes studying even easier for you.

The workbook exactly aligns with our class making it easy for you to take notes and memorize the critical information.

Our students love one small feature: there’s QR codes / short URLs throughout the book linking directly to the video covering the topic of that page.

Image of Destination CISSP student workbook - Destination Certification
Image of flashcard app - Destination Certification

Flashcard app

There are hundreds of terms that you need to know to pass the CISSP exam.

We’ve got you covered with our intuitive flashcard app. As you go through the flashcards you can easily mark the terms you know and which you don’t and need to review.

Our iOS and Android flashcard app connects to your MasterClass account. As you go through the flashcards and mark them, our system gains an ever more detailed understanding of what you know vs. what you need to review, so you can spend your study time even more efficiently.

The over 1,100 flashcards provide terms and associated definitions that are critical to know to pass your CISSP exam easily.

Whether you have a few minutes while waiting for the food you ordered or you sit down to study for an hour, the flashcards are an easy way to learn the key terms and their definitions.

MindMaps to clarify how everything fits
together

You need to understand not only a lot of different topics, but also how they fit together to pass the CISSP exam. This might seem simple, but when there are easily dozens of interlocking topics, a simple text explanation will be difficult to understand.

We use MindMap videos to put everything together. We go through each major topic in a section so you can easily see the connections.

The MindMaps also serve as good reminders of the big picture later on. You can print them out and use them to make sure you go through every relevant consideration in your work.

Destination Certification - Pass CISSP Exam - CISSP Course Mindmap

Here's an example MindMap Video:

The most realistic CISSP practice exam in the world

You can easily find thousands of practice questions. However, many people who have correctly answered thousands of practice questions feel completely lost when they see the real exam questions.

That’s because the CISSP exam questions are not just any questions. Here’s how they’re created:

  • An expert in their field of security writes a question
  • A committee of security professionals analyze and refine the question
  • Exam testing science experts go through the question ISC2 adds the question to the CISSP exam as an ungraded question
  • Experts evaluate whether the question performed correctly in the exam and further refine it and re enter it as an ungraded question if needed
  • The question finally makes it to the real CISSP exam

●  An expert in their field of security writes a question

●   A committee of security professionals analyze and refine the question

●   Exam testing science experts go through the question

●   (ISC)² adds the question to the CISSP exam as an ungraded question

●   Experts evaluate whether the question performed correctly in the exam and further refine it and re enter it as an ungraded question if needed

●   The question finally makes it to the real CISSP exam

This is an insanely laborious process that results in very refined and unique questions that don’t look like practice questions that you’ll find online or in books. For example, you often need to pick the BEST answer from multiple technically correct answers.

Our practice test is the most realistic
CISSP practice exam you can take without paying for the real thing.

That’s literally what our students say. When they take the real exam, they aren’t surprised by the style of questions.

    Our guarantee

    Let’s be honest: nobody can guarantee that every single one of their students will pass the CISSP exam. We make it as easy as possible for you to pass on your first attempt. But it’s up to you to study.

    When you see claims like “96% of our students pass the exam,” remember that it’s not the same as “90%+ of our students pass the exam on their first try.” Which group do you want to belong to?

    We cannot guarantee that you will pass the exam. We do guarantee that following our CISSP certification class you get the best chance of success, even on your first try.

    What if you don’t pass on your first try?

    Only a small minority of our students need to retry the exam. But if it happens, there are two likely reasons for it:

    You got nervous. There are separate resources in the CISSP training to help you prepare for the exam mentally. But our nerves still sometimes get the best of us. Feel free to ask about it from your CISSP mentor; there are lots of strategies for making yourself more likely to perform well in the exam situation.

    You had some weak areas that the exam zeroed in on. The CISSP training will automatically highlight the areas you should still study more before taking the exam. It is extraordinarily unlikely that you’d fail the exam because of this if the MasterClass didn’t have any more suggestions for you.

    You’ll have access to all the study materials and weekly live calls with the expert instructors. You can also book more 1-on-1 time with your CISSP mentor to get clear on what will make your second attempt a success.

    Program FAQ

    We will be updating our CISSP MasterClass to reflect the April 15, 2024 CISSP exam update. And most importantly if you enroll in the MasterClass now, you will have access to the updated course.

    Does the course reflect the April 15th 2024 changes?

    The exam will not actually change until the April 15th 2024 so if you are planning to pass the exam before that date you do not need an updated version of the course.

    That being said, we are already hard at work at updating the course and it will be fully updated by the end of February 2024.

    How soon can I begin the CISSP course?

    You can start today -- it’s entirely self paced, and you’ll have full access to the course from the moment you enroll.

    How long should I plan to study before taking the exam?

    This varies widely based on how familiar you are with the exam material, how many hours per day you plan to study, and how willing you are to sacrifice time normally spent with family, friends, and hobbies. Most people take 6-8 weeks to go through all of our CISSP training videos, Knowledge Assessments, Flashcards, MindMap review videos, Practice Exam, and to review topics based on their personalized review guide. Successful students work hard -- typically a couple of hours per day and more on weekends, and usually after 6 to 8 weeks of preparation they are confidently prepared to take the exam. However, some students focus on nothing but studying for 2 weeks and are ready; others take as long as 6 months.

    Is this course up-to-date for the May 2021 changes to the ISC2 CISSP exam outline?

    Yes! All program content is aligned with the latest version of the CISSP exam syllabus, including the May 2021 changes to the (ISC)² CISSP exam outline. Our exam simulator mimics the latest version of the CAT (Computer Adaptive Testing) exam interface, ensuring you are fully prepared to meet the CISSP exam requirements.


    We will be updating our CISSP MasterClass to reflect the April 15, 2024 CISSP exam update. And most importantly if you enroll in the MasterClass now, you will have access to the updated course.

    Does this course include the CISSP exam voucher?

    This is an exam preparation program and does not include the CISSP exam voucher itself, which you will book independently with Pearson VUE

    How much feedback and support will I get during the course?

    Lots! You’ll gain plenty of helpful feedback from the results of 15 knowledge assessments, exam simulation practice, and our flashcard app. All of these results also feed back into the recommendations within your personalized, continually updated review guide, so you’ll always know what to focus on. And to get additional support, CISSP books and study guides, answers, and advice from a live human being, all you need to do is drop in to our weekly group study support calls.

    How many hours of video training are there?

    The 174 CISSP training videos covering all of the CISSP exam outline topics add up to approximately 23 and a half hours. The MindMap videos provide an additional 5 and half hours of review of key topics. So in total, we provide about 29 hours of video training. The videos are very concise and contain a huge amount of information. We continually teach the exact same material in our live classes, and it takes 5 full 9-10 hour days to go through the material.

    How long will I have access to the system?

    You have access for 12 months by default. Most of our students spend 6-8 weeks in the program before sitting the exam, and we recommend you aim to take the exam within 6 months of beginning the program. However, our number one priority is that everyone passes the exam, so if you need access for a longer period of time to complete your CISSP training and exam preparation, we are happy to provide it, (Simply email support@destcert.com at any time after enrollment to have us extend your program access.)

    How many people have you helped pass the CISSP exam?

    Thousands. Probably tens of thousands -- so many, we’ve lost count! John has been teaching CISSP classes for more than 20 years and used to run the official train-the-trainer program for ISC2, training many of the other CISSP instructors out there. (He also co-authored the first Official CISSP Study Guide.) Rob has been teaching CISSP classes for nearly a decade. Between us we have delivered thousands of classes all around the world, and guided thousands of people to be better security professionals and to pass the CISSP exam.
