Destination Certification is the one stop shop to pass the CISSP.

MasterClass is one of the best CISSP exam prep out there. The online videos and contents are very informative. Great one on one sessions with Lou. The live sessions are the best. Rob and Jon are available to answer any questions. "Read the exam question 3 times before you look at the answer!

I had been studying a long time to take the exam. I stumbled upon the CISSP MindMaps and took the Cryptography Mini MasterClass. I signed up shortly after that and the rest is history. This course helped me organize and pass the exam in a way my many other study resources couldn’t do. I have already started recommending Destination Certification to colleagues.

Sean Mooney

Destination Certification, (Lou, Rob, and John) have expertly condensed the complexities of Cybersecurity into digestible, essential knowledge.

I actually started thinking about the CISSP in about 2004, with books to prove it. However, I finally arrived at the point in my career where I could see this was long overdue, and Destination Certification made an extremely well-crafted product, that prepared me for the CISSP examine in the best possible way. Even after – it is still enjoyable to revisit the material.

With two weeks until the exam, I needed a clear and concise course direction to study for the CISSP. Destination Certification provided an excellent course which concisely discussed the main points and tie the domains together. The overall platform provides great resources for each person to learn and retain the information in their way, whether that is video, text, or knowledge checks. I was able to pass my exam right at question 125 and I know Destination Certification had a huge impact on the overall result.

Ziaul Karim

Not only is everything about Destination Certification visually appealing, the content is truly fantastic. Everything is laid out in a logical manner with videos, book, assessments, all presented in an easy-to-understand format. Rob and John really bring this material to life, and the correct attitude and mindset is presented throughout, so by the end of your learning it is second nature (which is crucial for the exam).
