    I took the "training camp" boot camp and I would highly recommend it. It was nice to get away for a week and devote attention to the course. Plus the night sessions that they do really helped to drill in the material.

    From which company did you take the training camp from?

    If boot camps are your thing then I would suggest SANS. They are EXPENSIVE but at the same time, they have about one of the highest pass ratings. Somewhere in the 97% range which you have to take with a grain of salt seeing that some people may or may not let them know if they failed.

    Myself, I was in a boot camp provided by my company but it just did not work for me. I still had to put my own time in and read and study.

    I'm still planning on studying this fall/winter and then taking a course. Thanks

    I went to training camp. If you have some flexibilty in your schedule I would contact them and tell them you would like to take the course with "Dennis Lee." The class I was in all but one passed, out of 23 I think that speaks volumes.

    Training Camp: Management and IT Certification Training including Cisco Training, Microsoft Training, PMP Training, CISSP Training, VMWare Training, Computer Training | Get Certified, Fast.

    I took the IntenseSchools CISSP boot camp. It was exceptional. (~$4600 with hotel room and exam)

    I took their self-paced online training for another course (ISSEP), and it was a complete waste of money. ($1199 on sale from ~$1600).

    I would highly recommend their classroom training. I cannot comment on their "online classroom" or any other offerings.

    EDIT: I think their security branch is called InfoSec Institute, so it would be through them, not through Intense.

    The SANS course MGM414 was awesome as well. I took that course and I can easily say that it was a BIG reason why I passed the CISSP first attempt.

    I too attended "Training Camp's" boot camp and can highly recommend it. I passed my first try after three months of self-study with Shaun Harris AIO book, practice tests, then the boot camp.
    Feel the fear, and do it anyway!
