Our CISSP MasterClass Explained:
CISSP training program that focuses on the exact things you don’t know
The MasterClass will automatically adjust to your knowledge.
When you go through an assessment, study with flashcards, or take a practice exam, the system will recognize if you have any gaps in your knowledge.
Your personalized CISSP review course updates to reflect what you still need to study, so you always have a clear path forward.
You will almost automatically spend your time studying in the most efficient way possible.
Let’s say you get something wrong in an assessment.

Let’s say you get something wrong
in an assessment.
Here’s what you get:
Or let’s say you want to get a clear image of what you still need to study before you’re ready for the exam.
You see that at the glance your CISSP prep course.
You see what you’ve already learned (purple), things you need to review (orange), and what you haven’t yet gone through. You see that for each domain, and you can expand a domain to see which subtopics you still need to study more.
Did you know the CISSP exam will focus on your weakest areas?
After your CISSP exam, if you talk with other participants, they'll all describe a test focused on totally different topics. However, they will all describe a test focused on whatever topics they feel least comfortable with.
As soon as you answer any questions wrong, the exam will adjust. You'll see more and more, often more and more difficult, questions about the areas you got wrong.
In a similar way, our MasterClass will guide you to study the exact areas you might still struggle with. If the real exam hones in on your weaknesses, you won't feel surprised or helpless. You'll know you can answer the questions and get the certification, no matter what the exam throws at you.
Direct answers

wondering about something, you have access to some of
the top experts in the industry. You get direct, personal answers to all your question.

The most engaging CISSP training you can find
Most CISSP resources are anything but entertaining. You might be surprised when you see ours.
The CISSP training adjusts to your schedule and keeps you on track
No matter how much you can study each day or week, the CISSP training will adjust to your schedule and keep you on track.
1
Week
Study like you have no other life
If you can put the rest of your life on hold for a while, you can study for the exam very quickly. We routinely guide people through it all in a week. It’s a bit brutal, but doable.
CISSP Certification in 1 Week!
4-10
Weeks
Study while juggling a job and family
If you can’t just tell your spouse to deal with the kids for a week, this is the best pace for you. You will likely need 4 - 10 weeks to prepare for the exam.
Few
Months
Study when your other responsibilities leave you with time
If you’re busy and don’t want to adjust your schedule significantly, you should know that the CISSP certification course will take a few months. But you absolutely can do it.
The most common reason people fail the exam
The most common reason people fail the CISSP exam is that they prepare for it as if it was a technical exam.
Sure, you need to study a wide range of technical information. But even if you can recite the entire official 1,300-page CISSP training book, you can easily fail the exam.
Many of the questions offer you multiple correct answers. You need to pick the option that is best for the organization.
In other words, you need to think more like a CEO than a typical security practitioner.
Here’s an example of what that means in practice:
How we’ll make it as easy as possible
for you to pass your CISSP exam

The video lessons are the heart of the MasterClass.
You learn one clearly defined topic in each video. In addition
to the technical side, you immediately also understand the
bigger-picture considerations you will be tested on in the
CISSP exam.
We’ve done our best to make the content easy to consume.
With over 170 videos, each topic is in bite-sized chunks.
We can’t promise that you’ll find every video fascinating, but
hopefully you’ll appreciate our efforts to make the ideas
more engaging than a typical security lecture.
Detailed written explanations
You get a clear, written summary of every critical concept. These summaries expand on the topics to provide a greater depth of understanding. They include all the tables and diagrams we use in the videos to make it easy for you to dig deeper.
Knowledge Assessments
Each section has its own knowledge assessment. They make it easy for you to focus on only the topics you still need to learn more about. You see what topics you should study more and get direct links to the exact right resources.

Live calls with your expert teachers
If you ever want a personal answer to a question, you can reach out to us. But you can also come to our weekly live calls to get answers directly.
At least one of our expert instructors is there to answer your questions live. We’ll continue for as long as there are questions, so you don’t need to worry about missing your chance to get answers.
Our Study Guide
The official ISC2 CISSP training course is not known for its entertainment value. It’s 1,300 pages of small print with very few images. The information is accurate, of course, but reading it is an Olympic-level exercise in concentration and persistence.
We’ve created our own CISSP study guide, which is a far easier read. It still covers everything you need to learn to pass your exam. And not just the technical stuff either. Just like the Masterclass, we’ve made sure you understand the management-level implications of things, too, because that’s not only what the exam tests for, but also what makes you a great security professional.
Our Workbook
The workbook makes studying even easier for you.
The workbook exactly aligns with our class making it easy for you to take notes and memorize the critical information.
Our students love one small feature: there’s QR codes / short URLs throughout the book linking directly to the video covering the topic of that page.
Flashcard app
There are hundreds of terms that you need to know to pass the CISSP exam.
We’ve got you covered with our intuitive flashcard app. As you go through the flashcards you can easily mark the terms you know and which you don’t and need to review.
Our iOS and Android flashcard app connects to your MasterClass account. As you go through the flashcards and mark them, our system gains an ever more detailed understanding of what you know vs. what you need to review, so you can spend your study time even more efficiently.
The over 1,100 flashcards provide terms and associated definitions that are critical to know to pass your CISSP exam easily.
Whether you have a few minutes while waiting for the food you ordered or you sit down to study for an hour, the flashcards are an easy way to learn the key terms and their definitions.
MindMaps to clarify how everything fits
together
You need to understand not only a lot of different topics, but also how they fit together to pass the CISSP exam. This might seem simple, but when there are easily dozens of interlocking topics, a simple text explanation will be difficult to understand.
We use MindMap videos to put everything together. We go through each major topic in a section so you can easily see the connections.
The MindMaps also serve as good reminders of the big picture later on. You can print them out and use them to make sure you go through every relevant consideration in your work.
Here's an example MindMap Video:
The most realistic CISSP practice exam in the world
You can easily find thousands of practice questions. However, many people who have correctly answered thousands of practice questions feel completely lost when they see the real exam questions.
That’s because the CISSP exam questions are not just any questions. Here’s how they’re created:
● An expert in their field of security writes a question
● A committee of security professionals analyze and refine the question
● Exam testing science experts go through the question
● (ISC)² adds the question to the CISSP exam as an ungraded question
● Experts evaluate whether the question performed correctly in the exam and further refine it and re enter it as an ungraded question if needed
● The question finally makes it to the real CISSP exam
This is an insanely laborious process that results in very refined and unique questions that don’t look like practice questions that you’ll find online or in books. For example, you often need to pick the BEST answer from multiple technically correct answers.
Our practice test is the most realistic
CISSP practice exam you can take without paying for the real thing.
That’s literally what our students say. When they take the real exam, they aren’t surprised by the style of questions.

The Destination Certification team is fantastic! The material is well structured, engaging, and reassured me that the focus is on value. I found the way the service helped me focus on the weaker areas of my knowledge was a game changer in terms of effort/reward.
Joe Koh
Exam pass date: March 25, 2025
I used DestCert to prepare for CISSP. The material was well-structured and engaging. Mindmaps helped me understand how different topics fit together. The personalized review helped me target my weaker areas of knowledge, making my study efficient. DestCert is a valuable resource in my exam preparation.
Devin Tauber
Exam pass date: March 24, 2025
Earning the CISSP felt like a daunting, almost impossible challenge. But I watched all the videos, read the book, reviewed flashcards and grew confident enough to sit it after three months. Though it is a really hard exam, the material was accurate and enough for me to pass at 100 questions on my first attempt. I highly recommend DestCert to anyone preparing for these exams.
Daniel LeFevre
Exam pass date: March 19, 2025
Preparing for and taking the CISSP exam can feel like a daunting task. DestCert's CISSP MasterClass helps plan out everything for you, and leads you through each of the many topics with engaging video content. I used their MasterClass (as well as Quantum Exams) to prepare for the exam and I passed the first time at 100 questions! I would 100% recommend DestCert in future to anyone looking to pass the CISSP exam. Their first time pass rate speaks for itself!
Andrew Rinaldo
Exam pass date: March 17, 2025
I took DestCert Masterclass, did the videos, assessments per domain, practice questions on the apps and flashcard while commuting. I read the book a few days before the exam to review the materials again. I only used them and one extra practice test. Easy to follow and understand, if you have got enough experience in the field, using their Masterclass would be enough to pass. Highly recommended.
Jesse Giambatista
Exam pass date: March 14, 2025
I found the DestCert material and questions to be excellent preparation for the CISSP exam. In particular I found the mindmaps to be a great resource for identifying topics to revisit during the home stretch.
In going through DestCert I feel like I might have finally found my calling. Going through this course made me realize I'd much rather teach people about Technology Security than try to push the security boulder up a hill while everything in the world is on the opposite side trying to roll it right over me. Listening to Rob and John made me realize that there's a lot of value in what they do, and they are able to touch and impact technologists and companies all over the world to help fight the good fight.
Jason Miller
Exam pass date: March 11, 2025
I successfully passed the CISSP exam in March 2025 using the DestCert student workbook, training videos, mind maps, practice questions and flashcards thru the website and mobile app. In my case, I purchased the CISSP MasterClass. While the training materials are first rate, the mindset of “think like a CEO” as well as John Berti’s video on test-taking tips was hugely helpful and directly contributed to helping me pass the exam after just 100 questions. Importantly, DestCert is the ONLY training material I used for CISSP exam preparation, and I absolutely recommend DestCert for anyone considering the CISSP exam.
Kyle Petro
Exam pass date: March 10, 2025
Rob and John played an instrumental role in my success with the CISSP. Their teaching style and ability to present complex material in an easily digestible and engaging manner were truly exceptional. They not only made the learning process enjoyable but also genuinely inspired confidence in their students. I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend this outstanding team to both individuals and businesses seeking top-notch training for Cybersecurity/GRC!
Jermaine Turnage
Exam pass date: March 5, 2025
The Destination Certification CISSP course was the key to my success in passing the exam. Rob and John’s teaching style gets right to the point and makes it easy to focus on the most important parts of each domain. Their advice to “think like a CEO” was also extremely helpful and really made the difference in my approach to the exam questions. I can’t thank the team enough for their commitment and passion to teach and help others accomplish this important milestone. Trust the system! It works.
Tyler Beels
Exam pass date: February 27, 2025
Destination Certification is the key factor I attribute to my success in achieving the CISSP. The comprehensive suite of materials—including online videos, flashcards, practice questions, discord channel, weekly calls, and expert guidance—provided everything I needed to conquer the CISSP journey. A big thank you to the Destination Certification team!
Jasmine Kang
Exam pass date: February 21, 2025
Destination Certification has proven to be a valuable investment, as it provided me with the necessary skills and knowledge to successfully pass on my first attempt! John and Rob are very passionate about teaching, and I love that they lead AMAs every week with their students. I can't wait to try another Destination Certification program when I'm ready for my next certification 
Ryan Yagatich
Exam pass date: January 23, 2025
I embarked on the Destination Certification program, as I was feeling overwhelmed and unprepared for the CISSP exam. Having been out of school for over 20 years, I had forgotten how to study or even how "the right way to learn". With their daily guidance, I conquered the exam after only 100 questions and in an astonishing 90 minutes! The system taught me well beyond the CISSP material as it even helped me understand the perspectives and goals of executives who I previously didn't. My success is a testament to the incredible Destination Certification program and team, and I am forever grateful and excited about the knowledge and skills I have gained through this journey.
Mirza Gogic
Exam pass date: January 23, 2025
I highly recommend Destination Certification for anyone preparing for the CISSP exam. Their structured and well-organized course content, combined with easy-to-follow, pedagogical videos, provided me with a solid foundation for success. Unlike many other courses, their approach kept me motivated throughout my studies, thanks to practical tips and guidance from the entire team during our conversations. The quality of their materials and expert support truly made the difference in helping me pass the exam.
Makiko Nomura
Exam pass date: January 20, 2025
This course truly prepared me for the exam even though I took it in Japanese, plus it taught me lots of industry standard security-related English expressions that I can use in real work situations.
Murthy Mantha
Exam pass date: January 8, 2025
I passed both the CISSP and CCSP exams using Destination Certification. With 90 days of focused study, their comprehensive materials and support helped me pass CISSP on April 9, 2024, and CCSP on January 8, 2025
Steven Tiller
Exam pass date: January 3, 2025
DestCert really helped give me a peace of mind on exam day, that test likes to play tricks on you and make you second guess yourself, but DestCert is structured to not only provide you with the knowledge but it also gives you a firm confidence in yourself.
Todd Chapman
Exam pass date: December 31, 2024
I appreciated the format of the Destination Certification program. The multiple modes served as an effective method for reinforcing the materials. The subject matter was focused allowing for efficient learning in a compressed timeframe. I passed the test with the minimum amount of questions because I heard John's voice incessantly in my head saying, "Think like a CEO."
Peter Student
Exam pass date: December 30, 2024
I solely used DestCert resources to prepare, but I used all of them to the full...videos, mindmaps, printed book, ebook, flashcards, sample questions, etc. Without getting lost in too many details, DestCert provided me with the central understanding needed for each concept, and this clearly enabled me to pass the CISSP. When I took the exam, there were many questions were challenging and appeared to be beyond my scope, yet I had enough knowledge to be successful. I was happy to not only pass the exam, but deepen my knowledge across the cybersecurity industry. A foundation I intend to further grow from.
Wesley Barrier
Exam pass date: December 30, 2024
Destination Certification is an excellent resource if you can make the price work. Dest Cert videos are professional and engaging. Rob and John really draw you in and bring flavor to dry content.
Dest Cert Mindmaps (available outside of the class on youtube) are crucial for understanding how something fits into everything else. ESPECIALLY the mindmaps on the processes. I watched them all multiple times, and memorized a bunch of them.
Alberto Afonso
Exam pass date: December 30, 2024
Regarding my experience with Destination Certification, I have to say that stunding for CISSP with you guys, was beyond all my expectations. This is the best training course material I ever studied for certification. It not only prepared me to pass this challenging exam, but above all it helped me to become a better cyber security professional.
Baburaj Sadanandan
Exam pass date: December 28, 2024
The CISSP Masterclass was outstanding—well-organized, easy to follow, and fully prepared me to pass. Rob, John, and Lou boosted my confidence with essential test-taking strategies, helping me conquer my toughest exam. Thank you, Destination Certification!
Anwer Asad
Exam pass date: December 27, 2024
The first thing that hit me in the very first video from Rob that I saw, was the desire to share and how much he seems to love sharing his knowledge of all things cybersecurity. Add to that the mellow wisdom of John and the tough love mentoring from Lou and you have yourself a winning combination. I absolutely loved the experience and I think DestCert took a great deal of the anxiety away by focusing on what matters and ignoring what does not. Thanks guys!
Pavel Gusiv
Exam pass date: December 23, 2024
As many in the industry know, the CISSP Common Body of Knowledge (the material the exam is based on) is often described as an inch thick and a mile wide. With countless resources available online, finding the right study path can be a challenge in itself.
Before starting my CISSP journey, I wanted a focused, efficient, and structured approach a one-stop solution that would guide me through exactly what I needed to pass. Fortunately, I discovered DestCert early on, joined their Masterclass, and followed their strategy from A to Z. I didn’t use any external resources, and their method proved to be exactly what I needed.
A huge shoutout to Lou, John, and Rob for creating such a well-structured program!
For anyone considering the CISSP, finding the right strategy can be a game-changer. Happy to share insights from my experience!

Program FAQ
You can start today -- it’s entirely self paced, and you’ll have full access to the course from the moment you enroll.
This varies widely based on how familiar you are with the exam material, how many hours per day you plan to study, and how willing you are to sacrifice time normally spent with family, friends, and hobbies. Most people take 6-8 weeks to go through all of our CISSP training videos, Knowledge Assessments, Flashcards, MindMap review videos, Practice Exam, and to review topics based on their personalized review guide. Successful students work hard -- typically a couple of hours per day and more on weekends, and usually after 6 to 8 weeks of preparation they are confidently prepared to take the exam. However, some students focus on nothing but studying for 2 weeks and are ready; others take as long as 6 months.

The videos are very concise and contain a huge amount of information. We continually teach the exact same material in our live classes, and it takes 5 full 9-10 hour days to go through the material.
