IS governance

CGEIT is the only globally recognized certification in the fields of IS governance. It has earned a great reputation internationally for many years, as it sets a high and consistent standard worldwide.

The CGEIT Job Practice Area consists of five “domains”, 49 “tasks” and 60 “knowledge statements”. Because the different tasks refer to the relevant COBIT processes, COBIT is an integral part of the CGEIT training and certification.

This training is organized by ACTAGIS in collaboration with Swiss Chapter of ISACA (www.isaca.ch).

Module 2 – Exam Bootcamp

A 3 day exam preparation session

Building on pre-course preparation work, we will go through all the CGEIT domains and conclude the course with a realistic test examination followed by an evaluation and discussions. With the appropriate level of personal preparation, you will acquire the necessary knowledge to be able to pass the CGEIT exam. Our aim is to optimally prepare you for this challenging test, by going through the Job Practice Area and by offering a realistic test exam.

This training is intended to professionals who have already had IT experience. It is recommended for the participants to have a detailed knowledge of the CGEIT Job Practice Area and having read through the CGEIT Review Manual prior to taking the course and, ideally, to have several years of professional experience in different areas of IT. The CGEIT exam preparation course is aimed at all persons who deal with the governance of information systems, such as:

  • Chief Information Officer
  • Governance Officer
  • Compliance Officer
  • IT Architect
  • IT Resources Manager
  • IT project manager
Our instructors are all certified professionals, who bring with them over 20 years of field experience in the domain of IT security. Our course can be given in English and in French, and includes a realistic exam simulation, as well as two complete exams with personal detailed analysis, in English. This is an intensive 4-days course for advanced participants who have already gone through the CGEIT Job Practice Area and the CGEIT Review Manual.

The first two-and-a-half days of the course consist of an intensive and systematic review of all tasks within the CGEIT Job Practice Area. Here the aspects which are important from the examination perspective are presented, without going into the details of each task, which is why some level of expertise is required. Those who would like to study all CGEIT tasks in detail should join our advanced course.

Following the first two-and-a-half days, a realistic test examination is organized (in English) on a half-day. After this four-hour test exam we will provide you with a personal evaluation of the 200 multiple choice questions and discuss the results during the following course day. This last course day is divided in two parts: detailed discussion of the exam results, and exam preparation. You will also be provided with a second test, which you can perform on your own time. We will then correct it and send you back your results.
