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 CRISC Job Practice Area and having read through the CRISC Review Manual prior to taking the course and, ideally, to have several years of professional experience in different areas of IT. The CRISC 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
- Compliance Officer
- IT project manager
- IT Architect
- 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 CRISC 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 CRISC tasks in detail should join our advanced course.
Following the initial phase, a realistic test examination is organized (in English). After this test exam, we will discuss the results during the last day of the training. 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.
