 OUR
Let’s be honest: nobody can guarantee that every single one of their students will pass the CISSP exam. Every learner
and every exam experience is unique, and some people perform better than others under exam conditions.

When a training provider tells you they offer an “exam pass guarantee,” that is not the same thing as a guaranteed
pass! In fact, an “exam pass guarantee” is only activated if the student fails the exam.

Our Destination Certification CISSPtraining program and system provide everything a student needs in order to pass
the exam, but the commitment to study must come from the student. The mindset and techniques with which they
approach exam questions are also crucial. We teach the appropriate mindset and techniques in our program, but only
the student can apply them during the exam.

That’s why we don’t guarantee that every student will pass the exam… but we do guarantee that we give every
student the best possible chance of success.

In the unlikely event that a student who has completed the

Destination Certification CISSP program does not pass the exam, they can

 PROGRAM
Q. How soon can I begin the program?

You can start today --

it’s entirely self paced, and you’ll have full access to the program from the moment you enroll.

Q. How long should I plan to study before taking the exam?

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 MasterClass 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.

Q. Are there any prerequisites?

There are no prerequisites to enroll in our CISSP training program. However, (ISC)² has its own
prerequisites: to earn the CISSP certification you must have at least 5 years of professional experience
in 2 or more of the 8 domains of the CISSP common body of knowledge. (You may be able to satisfy 1
year of the experience requirement if you have a relevant 4-year college degree from an accredited
college or equivalent, or you hold another approved information security credential.)

If you pass the CISSP exam before gaining the required work experience, you can become an Associate
of (ISC)² -- this means you have a 6-year grace period to gain the professional experience required for
full certification.

Q. Is this program up-to-date for the May 2021 changes to the (ISC)² CISSP exam outline?

Yes! All program content is aligned with the latest version of the CISSP exam syllabus, and our exam
simulator mimics the latest version of the CAT (Computer Adaptive Testing) exam interface.

Q. Does this program include the CISSP exam voucher?

This is an exam preparation program and does not include the CISSP exam voucher itself, which you
will book independently with Pearson VUE: https://home.pearsonvue.com/isc2.aspx
 PROGRAM
Q. How much feedback and support will I get during the program?

Lots! You’ll gain plenty of helpful feedback from the results of 15 knowledge assessments, exam simulation
practice, and our flashcard app. All of these results also feed back into the recommendations within your
personalized, continually updated review guide, so you’ll always know what to focus on. And to get additional
support, answers, and advice from a live human being, all you need to do is drop in to our weekly group study
support calls.

Q. How many hours of video training are there?

The 174 MasterClass videos covering all of the CISSP exam outline topics add up to approximately 23 and a half
hours. The MindMap videos provide an additional 5 and half hours of review of key topics. So in total, we provide
about 29 hours of video training. 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.

Q. How long will I have access to the system?

You have access for 12 months by default. Most of our students spend 6-8 weeks in the program before sitting
the exam, and we recommend you aim to take the exam within 6 months of beginning the program.

However, our number one priority is that everyone passes the exam, so if you need access for a longer period of
time to complete your training and exam preparation, we are happy to provide it, (Simply email
support@destcert.com at any time after enrollment to have us extend your program access.)

Q. How many people have you helped pass the CISSP exam?

Thousands. Probably tens of thousands -- so many, we’ve lost count! John has been teaching CISSP classes for
more than 20 years and used to run the official train-the-trainer program for ISC2, training many of the other
CISSP instructors out there. (He also co-authored the first Official CISSP Study Guide.) Rob has been teaching
CISSP classes for nearly a decade. Between us we have delivered thousands of classes all around the world,
and guided thousands of people to be better security professionals and to pass the CISSP exam.
