What do you look for in CISSP Training?
I co-taught CISSP at my work (volunteered). If you thought taking the test was difficult teaching it is no picnic either It was supposed to be a workshop but about 2000+ slides later it was training. We got favorable reviews and we both are experienced IT security folks and we may end up doing it again. Now, that being said, what do you all look for in training? I can think of these but like to add more for those that also teach or provide teaching.
