After this course you will have a clear view of all eight CISSP domains and can answer security questions from the standpoint of someone accountable, looking beyond individual technologies. You will know how the adaptive exam is structured and leave with a concrete study plan. The course suits you if you have already spent several years in IT security and want to bring order to what you know. It does not replace self-study, so set aside your own revision time after the training days.
