Why choose the

DestCert MasterClass over Training Camp


A CISSP MasterClass that adapts to your unique learning journey. Discover why DestCert's innovative, comprehensive approach to exam readiness makes it a standout choice compared to Training Camp's CISSP program.

Key Features Comparison

Note: Training Camp offers CISSP training as an intensive 6-day boot camp, available both online and in-person at various U.S. locations. They also provide a 5-day accelerated option for experienced professionals. This concentrated approach covers all exam topics comprehensively in a short timeframe, which can be highly effective but may be challenging for those who prefer a gradual pace or have full-time commitments. Students should consider their learning style and schedule when deciding if this intensive format aligns with their preparation needs and career goals.

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!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often is the course content updated?

Both providers regularly update their course materials to align with the latest CISSP exam outline and industry developments. DestCert's online platform allows for frequent updates, while Training Camp revises their boot camp curriculum periodically to ensure relevance.

Are there any prerequisites for taking the CISSP course?

While neither DestCert nor Training Camp requires formal prerequisites for their courses, both recommend at least 5 years of cumulative, paid work experience in two or more of the CISSP domains. This aligns with ISC2's requirements for CISSP certification. However, even those with less experience can benefit from the courses as associate members.

Can I access the course content remotely?

Destination Certification's CISSP MasterClass is fully online, allowing you to access all course materials remotely from anywhere with an internet connection. This includes video lessons, practice questions, and even the live Q&A sessions. Training Camp offers both in-person boot camps and online live training options, providing flexibility for those who prefer or require remote access to their intensive program.

DestCert vs. Training Camp: Which Course Is for You?

The best CISSP training course for you depends on several factors, including your budget, preferred learning style, schedule constraints, and career goals. Both Destination Certification and Training Camp offer valuable paths to CISSP certification, but they cater to different needs and learning approaches.

If you thrive in a structured, intensive learning environment and can dedicate a full week to immersive study, Training Camp's boot camp approach might be the right fit. Their classroom-based or live online format provides a focused, instructor-led experience that can quickly bring you up to speed on CISSP exam topics.

However, if you prefer to be the captain of your own learning journey, valuing flexibility and a personalized approach, Destination Certification's CISSP MasterClass is likely the better choice. DestCert's self-paced program allows you to balance your CISSP preparation with work and personal commitments. The adaptive learning system, comprehensive study materials, and ongoing support ensure that you can tailor your study plan to your individual needs and progress at your own pace.
