CISSP Online Bootcamp - Built for Your Success
Our guarantee
Let’s be honest: while nobody can guarantee 100% pass rates for the CISSP exam, what matters is how well prepared you are for your first attempt. Many providers boast about "96% pass rates," but here's the real question: would you rather pass eventually or pass on your first try?
We've designed our CISSP certification bootcamp to maximize your first-attempt success. While you'll need to put in the work (there's no getting around that!), we provide the structure, support, and strategy to make every hour of study count.
Understanding Potential Setbacks
Our experience shows that only a small minority of bootcamp students need a retake. When it happens, we typically see two scenarios:
Scenario 1: Test Day Nerves
Even the best-prepared candidates can get nervous. That's why our bootcamp includes:
Scenario 2: Knowledge Gap Focus
If the exam highlights specific weak areas, our system has you covered:
Our Bootcamp Guarantee
While we can't guarantee a pass, here's what we absolutely guarantee:
Our bootcamp isn't just about getting you to pass—it's about getting you to pass the first time. And if you need more support, we're here for the long haul with continued access to everything you need.
What our Students Have to Say:
Coggan Scott
I just wanted to thank you both for all the hard work and dedication you showed throughout the week. You both made a tough week more manageable and presented the materials in a way that kept my attention and made things easily relatable to real-world situations and examples. After some additional work and studying over this weekend, I am happy to say I took the exam early this morning and successfully passed the CISSP. I truly feel this would not have been possible without your work, dedication, and most importantly, tips & tricks. I referenced my scratchpad with CEO in big bold letters at the top multiple times when I felt myself getting too technical in my thought process. I really feel this made all the difference for me and I owe it to both of you. Thank you again for all your work and tips.
Gonzales Ray
Thank you so much for teaching our class this week!
You’ve not only helped me obtain a difficult certificate, but you’ve also provided world-class (and entertaining!) instruction that has given me the confidence that I’ll provide more competent, strategically-minded advice to whoever I’m working with when it comes to security.
The practice questions that you provided in class were perfect examples of the kinds of questions that were actually on the exam.
Baker Kaeli
First of all, thanks so much for sharing some of your security knowledge with me this week. Your real-life examples really made the class interesting and easy to pay attention to and stay focused during our long days! I passed!!!
Daniel Changkuon
Thanks a lot for the time you both took this entire week! I really felt I have learned so much in just those few days. I think this is the best class I have taken, you both were able to take all those complex terms and definitions into very simple words and examples that helped me so much to not just value what we do as professionals, but also to help me think outside the box (CEO).
Razafsha Maryam
Thank you guys so much for an awesome week – could not have done it without the strategy (it really does make the questions so much easier!) and everything you explained throughout the week. Really appreciate all the time and effort you put in for us. You guys made this a fun and interesting week. The passion you both teach with makes it fun to watch and made me excited about the material too. I’ll miss the class. Can’t believe how much I learned.
Balaprakash Deepa
The Bootcamp was very useful and played an integral part in clearing the exam. I want to thank you both for the structured classes ( I am going to preserve the workbook) and more importantly the approach to answering each question.
I learned a lot about how to be a better security professional as well. We all enjoyed your training. It is commendable to see both of you following your passion for teaching and being wonderful at it.
Russell Brockmeyer
I am very happy to say that thanks to your guys’ invaluable coaching, guidance, and advice, I was able to pass the CISSP test and am now a certified associated of ISC2!
I want to thank you both for all of the hard work you put into the course. The diligence and thought and conviction you put into the class were apparent and definitely played a role in helping me pass the exam.
Passing the CISSP has been a goal of mine for a long time, and I can’t thank you enough for helping me achieve it. I hope you both carry on helping other students achieve their goals as well.
