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!

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.

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.

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.
