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. Instead of just cramming for the exam, I truly learned the material inside and out—and had a great time doing it. Thank you, Destination Certification!

Passing the CISSP at 100 questions the first time, truly would not have been possible without the help and guidance of the Destination Certification team. The materials that they created were absolutely spectacular. As someone who has sat through many different training and degree programs, this truly was outstanding!

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!

Took the course 2 months before the exam, best decision I made, really made all of the domains organized with great videos and tips covering them.
Daniel Arizola
Exam pass date: June 26, 2024
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.
