Introduction
This high-quality training course teaches students everything they need to know to become a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA).
CISA is the world-class certification framework for information systems auditing, control, monitoring and assessment. Our comprehensive training modules will take you through fundamental auditing and evaluation skills while preparing you to pass the CISA certification exam and develop your career.
Since 1978, the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) program, sponsored by the Information Systems Audit and Control Association® (ISACA®), has been the globally accepted standard among information systems (IS) audit, control, and security professionals.

CISA knowledge is divided into 5 job practice domains, each covering a different aspect of systems auditing. The first step to becoming accredited is to master each of these 5 domains, then go on to take ISACA’s CISA exam.
The five domains are:

- Information Systems, Acquisition, Development and Implementation: CISAs often function as project managers during the implementation of IT systems.
- Information Systems Operations and Business Resilience: The maintenance and service management of implemented information systems also falls under the job’s remit.
- Protection of Information Assets: CISAs must identify and recommend practices that actively address cyber risks.

The CISA exam is known for its difficulty, with an average pass rate of around 50%. It’s best to begin preparations early: successful candidates generally take between 6 months and a year to revise for the exam.
ISACA offers a number of resources to help prospective CISAs prepare for the exam, including a Questions, Answers & Explanations Database, a CISA-specific prep community, an online review course, and an eBook of study materials. Of these, the most important resource is the ISACA Review Manual, which is updated yearly.
There are also many courses available from training providers, such as this one. These high-quality courses cover all the materials in the Review Manual, with expert-led videos, interactive knowledge checks, and full-length practice exams.
The CISA exam previously ran in June, September and December every year, but thanks to online registration and proctoring it is now available year-round.
Candidates must score 450 (out of a possible 800) or higher to pass. You can take the exam up to four times per year, starting with the date of your first attempt. ISACA currently offers English, Chinese Mandarin Simplified, French, Japanese, Korean and Spanish-language versions of the exam.
Applying to take the exam costs $50, and if your application is accepted it will cost a further $595 to take the exam – or $465 for ISACA members.
