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

- IT Resources Manager
The first two and a half days of the course consist of an intensive and systematic review of all tasks within the CISM 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 CISM tasks in detail should join our advanced course. Following the first two and a half days, a realistic test examination is organized (in English) during half a 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. 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:
- Information Security Governance
- Risk Management
- Implementation of an Information Security Program
- Information Security Incidents Management
- CISA tasks: some
- CISM tasks: all
- CGEIT tasks: some
- CRISC tasks: some
