I'm preparing to take the SPeD exam for another of their certifications. I'm reminded that good study habits and practice tests HELP, prepare for the exam. Study builds confidence and practice questions build endurance. Whether protecting classified information at a cleared defense contractor facility or federal agency, Red Bike Publishing’s Guide to ISP Certification-The Industrial Security Professional is for you. If you are serious about advancing in your field, get ISP certified. Some are reluctant to take the test, but they just need the confidence earned through practice.

First, to meet minimum test requirements an applicant should have five years experience working in the NISPOM environment. If that’s you, then you are a technical expert and know the business of protecting classified information.

Second, study this book to practice, practice, and practice. It can help you prepare for the test.

Using practice tests to augment your ISP exam preparation will help. This book is the only one featuring four complete test length practice exams available for the ISP Certification. 

It teaches insightful study tips designed to show you how to: form study groups, network, seek out opportunities, learn your way around the NISPOM and includes four exam length practice tests. According to reader comments and emails to the author, many who have bought this book, the ISP Test Tips, and used our techniques to augment their preparation have performed very well on the exam.

Again, this is the most important resource offering the largest volume and most comprehensive study questions available.
