When I set out to earn the CISSP, I sampled many courses and Destination Certification offered exactly what I was looking for: A self-paced online study platform that I could work through on my own time without being tied to a specific schedule. The videos, book, and study guide are professionally produced and cover everything needed for the exam. Having access to the Discord and Q&A sessions is also worth the cost of the program on its own. I come from a heavily technical background and their materials were instrumental in ensuring I was up-to-date on the GRC portions of the exam. Follow the program and it won't let you down.

I knew that the exam was 'mile wide, inch deep' after some self study, and was looking for two things from study materials:
1.) A proper set of test strategies to utilize once I sat for the test
2.) an easy way to recall the material so there was no confusion in answering the questions.
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.

The combination of Destination CISSP (V1 and V2), the Mind Maps on YouTube, and the 2024 Exam Ademdum video were absolutely critical to me passing the exam. Rob and his team present the material in a way that is easily digestible without getting too deep in the weeds. As a bonus I took advantage of meeting one on one with Lou for a mentor session which was an incredible value. Lou helped assure me I was ready for the exam and lock in my final two weeks of preperation. I am forever in debt to the entire DestCert crew. Thank you!

Over the years I have used multiple "official" training courses or resources to obtain certifications. In every single case the training was misleading in relation to what I would actually encounter on the actual exam, and thereby did not fully prepare me to pass the exams. Some certification exams I passed on the first attempt and others required me to re-take. This is an unfortunate and extremely common problem throughout the certification ecosystem.
Any certification course should fully prepare the student to pass the exam on the first attempt - if the student does their part.
Destination Certification's CISSP course delivered the desired result - I did pass the exam at question 100. It is the only IT related certification training course that provided everything that I needed to be successful. This makes it the sole exception in my years of working within the cyber industry.
I want to thank everyone at DestCert. I am grateful for all that you do.

If you're serious about acing the CISSP exam, I highly recommend the Destination CISSP book and MasterClass. As someone who's used both, I found the book to be incredibly detailed and insightful, covering all the key topics you need to know. The MasterClass, with its series of videos led by industry experts, provided a dynamic and engaging way to reinforce concepts and dive deeper into challenging areas. Together, they were instrumental in helping me prepare effectively and confidently for the exam.

I read the official study guide, the all-in-one guide, and watched videos from every source I could find. None of those sources were as clear and concise as the Destination Certification videos and book. I wish I would have found them sooner and saved myself a lot of time.

Destination Certification allows you to study at your own speed in the way that works best for you and your situation.
The content is laid out in such a way that it makes local sense as you progress through it. You can take your time preparing or you can structure your own bootcamp.
I passed on my first attempt in 175 questions after a 5 day content blitz. Not many systems are as flexible as destination certification.

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.
Ray Gonzales

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 Associate 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.
Russell Brockmeyer

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.
Daniel Changkuon
Deloitte
I really liked the way you guys taught the material and not just the course itself but the entire process.
I’ve debated studying for the CISSP on my own and have studied for other certification exams and usually, that preparation involves getting one of those giant books and going through it cover to cover and this is over months. Without guidance on what parts to emphasize, this can be a daunting exercise. Your course was much more targeted and focused and coupled with the nightly assessments was a far better method given the timeframe.
Tony Lin

Thank you both so much for your instruction and passion in delivering the CISSP course material. It is rare to find people who have such vast knowledge and experience, as well as a commitment to education and furthering the profession.
