Most instructors teach
the test. Shanon teaches
the mindset.
The CISSP doesn't fail engineers because they're not smart enough. It fails them because they answer like engineers. Shanon Driver - U.S. Army veteran, career cybersecurity practitioner - built Covenant's program around one insight: the exam rewards executive judgment, not technical instinct.That shift is what separates the professionals who walk in ready from everyone else.
And if you don't pass? Shanon personally pays for your next attempt. No asterisks. No "free class repeat." He writes the check.

Most People Fail the CISSP
Because They Answer Like Engineers.
The CISSP isn't a technical exam. It's a management exam that tests your judgment - and most training programs miss that entirely. They have you memorize frameworks and domain definitions. Then you sit in the exam and the "right" technical answer keeps getting marked wrong.
Shanon spent years in the U.S. Army applying security doctrine in real operational environments - where the wrong call costs more than a score. He doesn't teach you to pass a test. He teaches you to think the way the exam expects a Chief Information Security Officer to think.
The result: candidates who walk into the exam prepared, with mentoring that continues until they sit for it. And if you don't pass? Shanon pays your exam fee. Not a "free class repeat." The actual fee.
CISO Mindset
Think like a security executive, not a technician. That's what (ISC)² is testing.

You've Seen the Competition.
Here's the Honest Breakdown.
Click any competitor to see exactly how Covenant stacks up.
SANS
Training Gap Alert
SANS ends when the bootcamp ends. No post-class mentoring, no live Q&A, no ongoing accountability.
You're paying for a class, not a path to passing.
SANS delivers a high-end bootcamp, but once class ends, the support ends. There's no ongoing mentoring, no live Q&A, and no one accountable for whether you actually pass.
Covenant Training Center
Covenant includes 90 days of post-class mentoring, live access to Shanon, and a private student community. The training doesn't stop when the bootcamp does.

// your instructor
Shanon Driver.
Not a Rotating Contractor.
The biggest quiet problem in CISSP training: you don't know who's teaching you until you show up. Global Knowledge, TrainingCamp, SANS - they all use pools of contract instructors. Your session might be excellent. Or it might be someone reading from slides who took the course last year.
At Covenant, Shanon teaches every session. He's a U.S. Army veteran who transitioned into cybersecurity, built Covenant Training Center in Huntsville from the ground up, and has trained hundreds of professionals through the CISSP. His track record isn't a marketing claim - it's the result of an instructor who's personally financially invested in every outcome.
He answers questions between sessions, provides 90 days of post-course mentoring, and continues working with you until you pass. Built by Veterans. Forged for Warriors.

"I put my money where my mouth is. If you do the work and don't pass, I pay for your retake. No other instructor in this region makes that offer. That's the covenant."

// The Guarantee
Pass - or
Shanon Pays the Retake Fee.
TrainingCamp's "pass guarantee" means you can repeat their class. It doesn't include ongoing mentoring or accountability. SANS and Global Knowledge offer no retake support and no post-class access to your instructor.
Covenant's guarantee means Shanon personally pays your (ISC)² exam registration fee for every attempt after your first. Until you pass. That's the difference between a program that believes in its results and one that just needs to make the sale.
