  • I am having an amazing experience with this course. Thor's delivery of the contents could not be smoother. (Michael, ★★★★★)

  • After completing the four CISM boot-camp training with Thor, I can say he's one of the best online presenters I've encountered. He is clear, articulate and knowledgeable. (William, ★★★★★)

  • As per all my earlier reviews, Thor breaks things down in a way that is easy to understand and remember. Without these video's i'd still be reading chapter 1 page 1 of the Isaca CISM study guide. Trust me, these videos will save you time and get you ahead! (Dale, ★★★★★)

  • This course was very helpful! Easy to read, easy to digest and very well presented. Highly recommend this and all of Thor's courses. All top notch quality and quite useful for CISM/CISSP. (Chris, ★★★★★)

Subject of the course was not new to me. So it was a very good and comprehensive overview in what is considered important today for all these aspects. Well done. Good to go through for assertion and learning some new stuff as well.

By Malissa Burns on 5/7/2026

I have taken the exam once and was weak in Domain 4. Going through this domain as a Video Boot Camp really helped me understand the areas I was not clear on.

By Trisha Gowins on 1/19/2026

Examples are very good and holds my interest. I like that you show practical application as well as exam tips like what to look for in the exam questions.

By Baghwan Ramnani on 12/24/2025

Great Course with detailed explanations!! Followed the study plan suggested by Thor in Section 1 of the course and passed the CISM exam in first attempt earlier this week with 15 weeks of dedicated study from watching course videos to practicing almost 3000 questions via multiple question banks available via UDEMY.

By Guillaume Piche-Meilleur on 11/25/2023

I use it to Study for CISA in order to gain a better understanding of the technical stuff. I really enjoy Thor's narration : full of humour and experience based insight. Cannot wait to write my exam so I have time to watch Thor's PMP course I bought !

By Victor Ishola on 9/16/2023

Thor covers the domain concepts and contents in much greater detail. One thing to improve on is to also map each topic within the domain to weakness or vulnerability and safeguards. For example, when reaching on Database security, give examples of known vulnerabilities and mitigation controls as way of helping the learners to completely close the knowledge gap.

By Amine Batel on 7/16/2023

Very good courses, I've been through the 4 domains and I am very satisfied with the content and the way Thor teach us and helps us with tips and recommandations. I will definitely miss Bob, Jane and all the funny examples from real life experiences. Thank you Thor !

By Anonymized User on 4/29/2023

Definitely five stars across across all four courses. Suggested improvements, include some practice questions and increase the font of the slides so they are easier to read on a mobile phone. Thank you for putting these together. Have been a great help.

By Anonymized User on 2/13/2023

The course content is good and covers the topics well. But sometimes the presentation style (speech) is a little bit off. But the reason for that might be, that some lectures are older than others, as the content did not change.

By Neil Macintosh on 1/22/2023

I have really enjoyed this course as much as the other three courses for the CISM certification. Lots of real world examples and explanations to make the content simple to understand.

By Antonio Javier Fernandez Sanchez on 10/21/2020

Not fully in line with CISM study curricula

By Linnea Wright on 10/18/2020

A lot of mumbling and hard to understand with little to no inflection in tone. Sounds more like a chopped up compilation of videos clips from the CISSP course. So much so that the closed captioning includes text that is not in the audio. Closed captioning does not match the audio with random words instead of what is actually said. Just overall extremely disappointing this poor quality is really all that is available aside from the Stone River course here on Udemy. Either way, highly recommend the other course with straight through content for one price as a full hour here is just random junk that is in each of the 4 domain breakdowns. The hour is split between the ridiculous intro and conclusion that is repeated in each video series adding 4-hours of "content" that is not beneficial. Do not recommend any of the 4 domain video sets by this provider unless you are ready for an extremely painful learning process that makes you want to just not do the exam.
