This is the first course I took from Thor, and it's an excellent course. All the topics have been covered in an effective manner. I think the structure/length of the domains could be improved a bit, for instance physical security felt too lengthy, and the network devices introduction could be done before the OSI/TCP models. Overall, very handy in covering the CISSP domains, onto the remaining 6 domains now.

By Gary Ingleton on 7/16/2026

Loving it so far. Thor really explains the complicated concepts very well, and highlights exam-specific tips too. Definitely recommended!

By Emil Rasmussen on 6/23/2026

I am very happy with the way you're explaining all of the topic and the approach to the course

By Edwige Dountio Meli on 6/8/2026

Amazing course, but very tough as i need to review it again. But i like layout and the way it is given

By John Michael Kwan on 4/29/2026

The training is great and Thor really summarizes the Domains really well. Though his voice may sound monotonous, it does not bother me at all.

By J N on 3/31/2026

I enjoyed this course. I used it as my main study guide and passed the exam within 3 months of hard study. I'd recommend going more deeply in some paths and also using additional resources (Find test questions online and basically google everything you feel you need more information about) but the content of this course go over all the domains and gives you everything you need to pass. Additionally having work experiences in some domains helps. The instructor insist sometimes on subjects that are definitely going to be asked at the exam, trust him :D Thank you Thor!!

By Captain # on 3/11/2026

Please no AI images, not only do they add nothing, they distract from the content. Less text on slides would also be better for note taking.

By Alan Fidelino on 2/1/2026

I like how Thor explains why a concept is relevant and the elephant icons he uses in the slides to highlight the important bits.

By Chuck Moore on 1/9/2026

This is very comprehensive. I have years of experience with much of this stuff but have forgotten the many nuances presented here. Great and up to date.

By Robert Hole on 12/19/2025

Definitely a lot of information to handle in nice bit sized chunks. Thor really does a great job of breaking it down and explaining how it applies to the exam.

By James Kawchack on 11/15/2020

Great

By Marcelus Bento on 11/15/2020

I like the content and the way Thor explain each topic.
