About The SFPC Master Exam Prep

The SFPC is the foundation or fundamental security certification for the DoD and agency security specialists. This master exam prep offers study preparation in the form of four tests of 86 questions each from the source materials, DoD 5200.01 Versions 1-3.

That’s a total of 344 practice questions.

Our objective is to enforce what you’ve already learned by giving you all the practice we could pack into this book.

During the past few years I’ve been writing primarily about the certification opportunities with the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM). It was my area of experience and many security professionals were exploring the space and earning their certifications. These NISPOM based certifications included the Industrial Security Professional (ISP) and the Industrial Security Oversight Certification (ISOC). Both certifications were a great fit for the security professionals focused on NISPOM activities.

I’ve assisted hundreds of certification candidates with books and training, mainly helping to build test taking confidence and reducing stress by providing realistic testing scenarios. For many, I helped resolve a common issue of testers running out of time before they ran out of test. The practice exams helped many complete the test sooner and with more accurate answers than those who were less prepared.

During this time, the Department of Defense also implemented other certification opportunities. I began to receive requests for Security Fundamentals Professional Certification (SFPC) test preparation and thus began developing this study guide. My wish for you is the best of success as you use this guide to augment your studies. Be sure to dive right in with the practice questions. You will probably get a lot of answers wrong at first, but that should be expected; keep going. Review these questions time and again. Switch the order over and over. Set a clock and go through the questions, giving yourself no more than 1 minute per question. Then reduce that time. Train the way you will test, so that when test day comes, you will be prepared.

In this book, you will see that I attempt to demonstrate the importance of not only becoming certified, but leveraging the prep time as well as the final certification to become more effective at your important task of developing security programs to protect classified information. You are already beginning the important process as you build networks, obtain professional and academic education, and find mentors. Credibility is the key to influence and learning from others in the industry helps you build confidence in your decisions and capabilities. I also provide ideas for those of you might be stove piped in your career to expand your experience with more tasks as outlined in DoD 5200.01 V1-3. Helpful hints increase experience and confidence and provide ideas for hands on training.

We recommend that you also get DoD 5200.01 Versions 1-3.

Customer Reviews

"After receiving this book, I quickly skimmed through it prior to sitting down for a close study. My initial reaction was to wonder just how much information I could learn based on the fact that most of the book was dedicated to practice tests. When I finally took the time to sit down and read it, I was surprised at just how much information it contains. The book tells you how to prepare, to include learning all security disciplines, how to manage your time, and how to study the NISPOM. The practice tests are a great opportunity to time yourself, and help to identify areas of weakness. I truly recommend this book for anyone considering the ISP Certification… it is a great tool to have!"

"Mr. Bennett once again has assisted me in my endeavors as a security and protection professional. His book not only assists in helping you prepare for the ISP certification, it provides first hand insight and mentoring on how to advance your career goals in this complex field. In using his study guide, one can get a real understanding of how the certification process is and study to overcome the challenges of taking the exam. The one recommendation I can say is to combine it with the pocket edition, so you can take and read while on the metro to work."

"As most others I am a seasoned FSO. However, based on research I did, once I decided to take the ISP Exam I quickly learned to not take it cold. I got my workbook from NCMS and researched what other tools are out there to better help prepare me for the exam. I quickly discovered Mr. Bennet’s ISP certification manual and after reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews I knew this would be well worth the money!
After purchasing the e-book I went at it. Mr. Bennet’s manual provides great information on preparing and the sample test were perfect for managing my time more effectively for the test. Along with that, I also purchased his ISP Test Tips book. With over 75 slides, it to gave me the knowledge so I would know what to expect once I sat down to take the exam.
Well after all that, I took the ISP exam and PASSED it on the first try. Not only did I pass it, I finished the exam with time to spare. Time that I used to review the questions I was not 100% on it the first time. With Mr. Bennet’s book you are not just investing into your ISP Exam, but also your career as an Facility Security Officer. As the title says this book is a MUST HAVE for anyone preparing to take the ISP Exam."
