Accelerator, Pro, or the Sprint Cohort โ which one gets you certified?
All three paths use the same "Think Like a Manager" framework. The difference is how much structure, accountability, and live coaching you want along the way. Here's how to choose.
You're self-motivated and just getting started. Take the full diagnostic, get your personalized Weighted Priority Matrix, and work through it on your own schedule.
You're deep in prep and want more firepower. Retake your diagnostic over time to prove your weak spots are closing, plus Domains 1โ3 daily practice, mega-packs, a CAT-style timed exam, and one monthly live Q&A call.
You need a deadline and a coach, not just content. Same diagnostic as everyone else โ but your group's results shape a live curriculum built around you.
Every path starts with the same diagnostic
Before you study anything, you'll know exactly where you stand โ and exactly where to focus first.
The diagnostic is 73 scenario-based questions across all 8 CISSP domains โ the same style of judgment-based question you'll face on the real exam. Your results generate a Weighted Priority Matrix: which domains to study first, based on both where you're weak and how much that domain actually counts toward passing. Every tier below gets this same full diagnostic โ the difference is what happens with your results after.
Take it once, get your plan, and work through it self-paced.
Retake it over time to track whether your weak spots are closing โ bring it to monthly Office Hours.
Same diagnostic โ your group's combined results shape our live weekly sessions.
Compare the three paths
Every tier is built on the same exam content โ the difference is depth, structure, and access to live coaching.
