Training, examination and certification are different steps
Training, the exam and the credential are different steps, and ISACA decides who is certified. ISACA publishes the exam content areas, the experience requirements and the renewal rules.
- The credential is awarded by ISACA, not by a training provider.
- ISACA requires candidates to demonstrate experience as part of the application. Check its current requirements.
- Training supports exam preparation. It does not award the credential.
Certification bodies set and can change their own exam, eligibility and renewal rules. The details below are what the body publishes; we confirm the current position with you before you enrol.
