2/5 stars. Free access, honest review, still didn’t work for me
I want to be upfront about something first. ITProTV gave me complimentary access to their platform. I appreciated that gesture. It says something good about them as a company. They were also supportive when I reached out about some earlier frustrations with my CISSP journey, and I want to acknowledge that too. Good people are running the show.
But I promised an honest review, and an honest review is what they’re getting.
It just didn’t work for me. I really tried. I sat through the ITProTV CISSP content with an open mind and real commitment. The production quality is solid, the setup looks professional, and you can tell effort went into the platform. The problem was the actual instruction. The explanations kept circling a point without ever landing on it. I’d finish a segment and realize I couldn’t clearly explain what I had just learned. For a topic as dense as the CISSP, that’s a real problem.
More than a few sessions left me more confused than when I started. You don’t want to be dealing with that this close to an exam.
I hope they tighten up the content delivery, because the infrastructure is clearly there. And again, the people behind the scenes at ITProTV were nothing but kind and supportive. It just wasn’t the right fit for how I learn. I’d rather tell you that honestly than sugarcoat it.
