The goal of our accelerated CISA Certification Program is to provide IT professionals with the knowledge and skills to work with IS audit, control and security.
Your course package is designed to provide maximum learning and convenience. This is included in the price of your course:
Your expert instructor will get you ready for the following exam and certification, which are not included in your course package.
Our course participants come from varied backgrounds and have different attributes.
To make sure you have the best possible chances of benefiting from the course, we are available for you to discuss your goals and general expectations to your learning and results.
Generally though, we do recommend that you have a minimum of five years of professional information systems auditing, control or security work experience (as described in the job content areas) is required for CISA certification. Substitutions and waivers of such experience may be obtained as follows:
A maximum of one year of information systems experience OR one year of financial or operational auditing experience can be substituted for one year of information systems auditing, control or security experience
60 to 120 completed university/college semester credit hours (the equivalent of a Bachelor degree) can be substituted for one or two years, respectively, of information systems auditing, control or security experience
Two years as a full-time university instructor in a related field (e.g., computer science, accounting, information systems auditing) can be substituted for one year of information systems auditing, control or security experience
Experience must have been gained within the 10-year period preceding the application date for certification or within five years from the date of initially passing the examination. Retaking and passing the examination will be required if the application for certification is not submitted within five years from the passing date of the examination. All experience will be verified independently with employers.
Using our engaging learning methodology including a variety of tools, we’ll cover the entire curriculum.
During this accelerated course, you'll get instructor-led training to ensure that you learn the fundamentals, obtain hands-on skills and earn your certification.
