Key Features Comparison

Note: Class Central is primarily a course aggregator and does not offer its own proprietary CISSP course. Instead, it provides a platform for discovering and accessing various online courses, including some related to CISSP preparation, from different providers. This requires careful consideration when choosing a course, as the quality, content, and approach can vary significantly depending on the course creator. Users must thoroughly evaluate each option to ensure it meets their specific CISSP preparation needs.

Concise, great videos, excellent mentors. Great community on discord and great weekly AMA sessions. They teach you on how to approach the exam, you have the option to schedule how much time you have to allocate daily to be able to study and then they automatically make a plan for you for all the lessons you need to finish that day. Highly recommended!

The Destination Certification program is fun, engaging, and the videos are top-notch. I chose this program over a boot camp, and I’m so glad I did.

I gave myself about 8 weeks to prep for CISSP, stuck to the schedule the system generated for me, felt confident for my exam and passed at 100 questions on my first attempt in about an hour 20 minutes. I’m extremely thankful for the time spent producing the training material and the effort put into making it an engaging program!

What I found was not only the important pieces I was looking for but also a much deeper simulation of test scenarios, a way to visually gauge my progress, a support system of peers that were going through EXACTLY what I was going through and mentor support to instill proper leadership skills to utilize past the exam itself. This made the setup for success all the more worth the cost.
