I feel extremely fortunate to stumble across these valuable treasures of Destination Certification CISSP 2024 MasterClass and Destination CISSP: A Concise Guide Second edition to handhold me towards the successful journey of clearing the CISSP examination. First and foremost, I would like to appreciate Mr. John, Mr. Rob, Mr. Lou and the rest of the entire DC team for providing the CISSP aspirants a one-stop shop for everything one needs to attain success. Be it MC videos where Mr. John and Mr. Rob explain the most critical concepts in an extremely simple and lucid terms yet retaining the technical flavor of the concepts combined with the view of Management's lens, especially for non-native English speakers like me and top of that we were offered practice questions, flashcards in the mobile app and search functionality combined with personalized identification of weak areas in MC site which were also very crucial in shaping up my understanding of the core fundamentals of each and every single topic that is mentioned in the CISSP 2024 outline.
The sheer experience and knowledge that DC instructors bring on to the table is impeccable. They provide a learning experience which propels the aspirants to completely immerse in the learning journey and when immersed with sincerity, one can say they are not only getting trained to attempt the CISSP examination but also become a responsible and sound Information Security professional of tomorrow who can serve our society to make an impact that truly matters. Whether be it the usage of diagrams, tables, real-life scenarios and examples, the DC instructors literally made my life easy. Further, Mr. John's test taking strategy videos were also crucial in shaping up of my understanding of the practice questions and helped me imbibe critical thinking while answering the questions. Words truly fall short for me in expressing my happiness and gratitude to the entire DC team including Ms. Naina and the entire non-technical DC professionals who kept supporting me throughout my CISSP journey without whom I couldn't have scaled the most coveted peak.

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.

As a Technology executive with over sixteen years of experience, the way Destination Certification presented the information was extremely effective and allowed me to obtain certification on the first attempt while maintaining a full-time job.
Brad Davis
Strategic Link Consulting

Destination Certification is the best, most up-to-date and concise guide for the CISSP exam. Rob and John are charismatic and knowledgeable instructors who help you make the most out of your learning experience.
Sergey Faleev

Choosing Destination Certification Masterclass was THE best decision I made for preparing for this beast of an exam.
The content is top-notch - easily digestible, never a dull moment and really helps you get into a Manager/CEO mindset right from the beginning.
I would like to thank Rob, John and Lou for this amazing program!
Nagarjuna Atluri
Ritchie Bros.

Destination Certification's structured platform and engaging materials were instrumental in instilling a deep understanding of the CISSP body of knowledge for the exam, making complex concepts easily comprehensible.
The guidance and advice from Lou as well as John and Rob’s invaluable test-taking strategies empowered me to confidently walk into the exam and pass on my first attempt.
Kris Triplett
CrossFit

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.
Alexander Lawrence
Sysdig

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
Deloitte

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
Deloitte

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
Deloitte

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.
