CISA – Certified Information Systems Auditor
Training Courses and Certification Exam Preparation
IS governance, audit, control and security
CISA is the only globally recognized certification in the fields of IS governance, audit, control and security. It has earned a great reputation internationally for many years, as it sets a high and consistent standard worldwide.
The CISA Job Practice Area consists of five “domains”, 38 “tasks” and 80 “knowledge statements”. Because the different tasks refer to the relevant COBIT processes, COBIT is an integral part of the CISA training and certification.
This training is organized by ACTAGIS in collaboration with Swiss Chapter of ISACA (www.isaca.ch).

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 CISA Job Practice Area and having read through the CISA Review Manual prior to taking the course and, ideally, to have several years of professional experience in different areas of IT. The CISA exam preparation course is aimed at all persons who deal with the governance, audit or security of information systems, such as:
- Chief Information Officer

- IT Auditors
- IT project manager
The first three days of the course consist of an intensive and systematic review of all tasks within the CISA 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 CISA tasks in detail should join our advanced course. Following the first three days, a realistic test examination is organized (in English). 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. 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. The domains covered by this certification are:
- The Process of Auditing Information Systems
- Governance and Management of IT

- Delivery and Support of IT Services
- Protection of Information Value
- CISA tasks: all
