Description:

CISA® stands as the world's most renowned and widely recognised certification for professionals operating within the fields of IT audit and IT risk consulting.

Our CISA course is an intensive, highly competitive, and exam-focused training programme. Drawing on our experience of delivering over 150 CISA training sessions in Europe and globally, and having trained more than 1,200 delegates, Net Security has developed its in-house CISA training materials with the primary objective of ensuring delegates pass the ISACA CISA® Exam. Our methodology emphasises a deep understanding of CISA IS auditing concepts, coupled with extensive practice using question banks released by ISACA over the past three years. Over time, CISA-qualified professionals have seen tremendous demand from leading accounting firms, global banks, advisory firms, assurance departments, and internal audit teams.

While delegates may possess years of experience in IT auditing, the approach to solving CISA questionnaires relies entirely on their grasp of globally accepted IT assurance practices. The CISA exam is notably challenging due to the tight margin between two plausible answers, a scenario where ISACA tests your understanding of global IT auditing practices. To address these challenges, we employ expert trainers with extensive experience in delivering CISA training worldwide.

The Net Security CISA manual covers all exam-relevant concepts, case studies, and Q&A sections across the five CISA domains. Furthermore, the trainer provides key supporting materials throughout the course, including relevant CISA notes, question banks, a CISA glossary, videos, revision documents, exam tips, and CISA mind maps.

Target Audience:

Finance/CPA professionals, IT professionals, Internal & External auditors, and information security and risk consulting professionals.
