What previous participants say:
“I do not think I could have passed on my first attempt had I not taken your boot camp.” Steve Rasch, CISSP, IT Security Engineer, General Dynamics C4 Systems
"Bill Curd is very knowledgeable about the entire scope of information security having worked in all 10 domains of the CISSP Common Body of Knowledge. His boot camps are comprehensive, well organized, up-to-date with relevant information, easy to understand, and humor is always a part. " Kelli Waxman, Adjunct Faculty, TEEX Engineering Extension at Texas A&M University, and President, National Security Consulting & Investigations, PLLC
“Bill is one of the most knowledgeable people in the field of security I have ever met. Incredible depth on security, cyber law enforcement, standards and regulations. Bill's knowledge is only matched by his mentor-ship and willingness to share is vast knowledge. Truly meriting the title of Security guru!” Stephen Mintz, CISSP, Technology Consultant, Techbadger LLC
“Bill … covered all 10 domains in depth and provided insights and memory tools for preparing for this difficult exam. … During the 5 days, Bill displayed an amazing breadth of knowledge that he was very willing to share. He took difficult concepts, found ways to break them down into simpler terms and used graphics to show connections. I walked away from the boot camp more confident than when I walked in and learned where I need to focus my personal preparations.” Sai Honig, Associate of (ISC)2, Senior IT Auditor, Apollo Group
“Bill has a wealth of knowledge and experience which he is able to impart in an easily digestible manner.” Trinidad Figueroa, Security Analyst, CGI Federal
