Description:

CISA® is the world-renowned and most popular certification for professionals working in the field of IS audit and IT risk consulting.

Our CISA course is an intense, highly competitive, and exam-focused training program designed to prepare delegates for success. With extensive experience delivering over 150+ CISA trainings globally, including in Europe, and training more than 1200+ CISA delegates, Govtra’s CISA training material has been developed in-house with the primary goal of ensuring CISA delegates pass the ISACA CISA® Exam. The training methodology emphasizes understanding CISA IS auditing concepts and practicing a large number of ISACA-released question banks from the past three years. Over time, CISA holders have been in high demand within renowned accounting firms, global banks, advisory, assurance, and internal audit departments.
