Training Camp - Buyers remorse
So, I shopped around in Canada looking for a CISSP training provider and narrowed it down to Training Camp after reading a few Reddit posts. One of my main requirements was getting the "Peace of Mind" exam voucher (with the second shot protection), since I don't come from a core security background and wanted to self-pace my learning. My company is footing the bill, so spending an extra $1,000 wasn't a big deal, and I wasn't in a rush to do an intensive boot camp.
However, during the procurement process, I missed the fine print: Training Camp is essentially just a middleman providing official ISC2 materials.
Basically, they give you 180 days of access to the ISC2 portal, and there is zero leeway or extensions if you don't finish within that window. The official ISC2 training itself is mostly textbook-heavy with a lot of reading and maybe only 10% video lessons. It feels like navigating an interactive ebook where, after every page, you're hit with random, incredibly tough questions on that specific topic. The questions are challenging, but I suppose the silver lining is that it prepares you for the real deal. Along with the e-learning access, I also got the official CISSP ebook and a practice question set.
At this point, I’m at a point of no return—I just have to make the most of what I have.
My friends in info-sec strongly recommended Destination Certification (Destination CISSP), but because they don't bundle the Peace of Mind exam voucher, I pivoted to Training Camp instead.
Has anyone else here used Training Camp’s self-paced option or the official ISC2 online materials? Any tips, study strategies, or words of motivation
