After the really good explanations and background Thor covered, I feel that I have an excellent grasp on Domain one. Well Worth my time in watching. (Jim, ★★★★★)
I have bought all 4 domains for the CISM and I have just completed the 1st one. I love the videos the details and the guidance of how to study/pass the CISM certifications. So yes these courses are great! (Cornelius, ★★★★★)
Course was definitely valuable to my CISM study practice. Thor's recordings are clear, relevant and helpful. (William, ★★★★★)
Excellent course! I had attended an on-site CISM course a few months back which left me hungry for more. I didn't feel I had learnt much and the content was very dry. Thor's course, on the contrary, is very well structured, rich in content and well explained. I truly enjoyed it and will study the other domains with him also. (Regis, ★★★★★).
