I really enjoyed it. The master is very good, but he speaks too quickly for people who don't speak English well, like me. But it was good in general. I enjoyed it and I appreciated it.

By Tia Moore on 6/14/2025

Didn’t provide course material like mentioned, would’ve loved that. Very in depth information but a lot of “additional talking” overall good. Hope it helps during exam nonetheless.

By Robin Greaves on 6/4/2025

(I have not taken the SSCP exam yet) I enjoyed this course, the instructor is one of the best I've found in online learning and the material seemed quite in-depth. However, the downloadable material the instructor regularly referenced did not appear to be available on Udemy, so more focused and detailed study on the topics covered in the videos was not possible. This was quite frustrating when data was lists of acronyms or process steps, as was the case when covering Risk Management Frameworks, for example. There were also no practice questions or tests, which are helpful for locking information in.

Good content and an engaging instructor.

By Claudia Menjivar on 1/20/2025

I wish they would have fixed the volume on some videos. I have a hard time hearing some videos. So far i love seeing the instructor, some how its easier for me to remember key components.

By Jeffrey Dionet on 12/10/2024

This course helped me pass my SSCP exam on december 2nd 2024! Adam presents the curriculum in a clear and concise manner and gives lots of helpful tips along the way as to what you should focus on while studying for the exam. At times the information presented here can be a bit overwhelming, but spaced out over a couple of weeks, this is an excellent resource to help you pass the exam. Highly recommended!

By Louis Tan on 6/10/2024

So far good. Adam was clear in his presentation, organized, engaging and going for fundamentals before elaborating further.

By Chris Sellman on 1/10/2024

The course does a great job of covering relevant subject matter and was very helpful in my efforts to stay current with SSCP study.

By Maurice Andrews Jr on 12/29/2023

Edit: I've recently passed this exam and I think Adam does a good job with stressing how important it is to understand concepts, procedures and steps instead of trying to memorize them. This test definitely challenges you on them and memorizing is not enough for some questions. Adam also has the enthusiasm and personality that's easy to take the information in. Great course! I'm going to have another run through of the course, but I think Adam does a good job of defining things and breaking down concepts and procedures. He's distinct about things that should be remembered and knowing how to articulate concepts that needs to be applied. Great teacher and am confident that with another run through of the course, that I'll be prepared to take the exam.

By Annette Foster on 6/11/2023

Undoubtedly the best training course for this exam and for those who just want to enrich their security knowledge. I passed the exam first time. Please use Adam's helpful hints on how to study and prepare the exam and whenever he says you need to know something for the exam - he isn't wrong. Would give this 6 stars if this was possible.
