Requirements
There are no specific prerequisites for this course. However, ISACA requires a minimum of five years of professional experience in information systems auditing, control, or security to qualify for full certification. Candidates can take the CISA exam before meeting ISACA’s experience requirements, but the CISA qualification is only awarded after these requirements are fulfilled. Our trainers recommend that individuals pursue and obtain the CISA certification as early as possible in their careers to effectively implement globally recognized IT auditing practices in their daily professional duties for government and other sectors.
