CISM Exam Prep Bootcamp

  •  30 CPE/CMU
  •   Laptop Not Needed

This 5-day course presented by the author and editor of the official ISACA CISM Review Manual, since 2005, is structured to follow the review manual and examination flow. A full day is provided for each of the core competencies and associated task and knowledge statements, thereby ensuring a detailed and thorough coverage of all areas that will be tested. The fundamental thrust of the examination is on understanding the concepts, not on memorizing facts. As a result, the course is presented in an interactive manner to ensure the underlying concepts are understood and examination questions can be analyzed properly to achieve the best answers.

This course has been independently commissioned with two objectives:

  • To provide an environment in which security professionals can acquire, thoroughly and properly, the skills and knowledge expected of a world-class information security manager. Whether or not you intend to sit for the CISM exam, this course is a powerful way to equip yourself with the knowledge of the five core competencies that define the successful information security manager.
  • To gain practice in exercising the sound judgment and critical thinking needed to maximize your prospects at the CISM exam, if you choose to sit it.

Credits for Other Qualifications

If you have other security qualifications or related university degrees you may be entitled to a one, or even two, year experience waiver. Please refer to the ISACA website for details.
