What our students say about our training

Rachel Philips

The video content is absolutely top notch. I’ve had my share of professional trainings over the years but IMHO the Dest Cert structured approach and presentation style of the content blows them out of the water.

Adam Delaney

One word, Fantastic. The way you both are able to break down the topics into succinct

understandable information is impressive.

Ari Kumar

Thank for you all your great passion. The classes have definitely rounded my holistic

understanding of organizational security and I am taking with me lessons that I will be using throughout my career.

Ben Campbell

I passed the exam today after 103 questions. In short, the Bootcamp was amazing. How both of you explained the material and the simple real-life examples you gave tremendously helped me make sense of it.

Brook Peed

You both did an excellent job emphasizing what we might see on the exam, and that really helped me to study without feeling overwhelmed.

Daniel Morrison

I can’t thank you enough. Sitting outside the testing center writing this - lots of happy faces passing by.

Danielle Heinritz

I can honestly say without the bootcamp I would not have passed. I am still in shock that I have finally passed and cannot thank Rob and John enough for the amazing platform. 

Deepa Balaprakash

I learned a lot about how to be a better security professional.
