With regard to the CISSP, Mr. Hackmeyer has set himself apart by successfully utilizing an instructional methodology rarely seen outside the world of graduate level academia. His experience in graduate level research and instruction has given him the tools to successfully lead students to achieving their CISSP. The CISSP exam is quite challenging. It is not uncommon for a CISSP test taker to know the exam material very well, yet s/he can still fail the exam. The reason for this is quite simple: The exam does not only test what you know, but it also examines if you can apply what you know. His instructional methodology is geared to make sure that each student learns the required information and can apply his/her knowledge on the CISSP exam and as an information security professional.
