The Program

This program covers the syllabus of Certified Information Systems Auditor Examination conducted by Information System Audit and Control Associations Inc., USA. CISA is now a highly sought after qualification for people involved in audit, control and management of major information systems. You will be qualified as CISA upon passing the examination and meeting the 5 years' related professional experience requirement.

Candidates may also sit for the Institute for Certification of Computing Professionals "system security" examination to acquire the Certified Computing Professional award provided 4 years' professional experience requirement is also met. You can take advantage of the significant common syllabus between CISA and ICCP's System Security option, which means the additional time and money you need to invest is much lower and you enjoy a high degree of synergy in examination preparation etc. In 2002, CISSP track is introduced which allows candidates to prepare for a more specialized security certification, or with a dual certification track!

By acquiring  internationally well known professional qualifications (backed up by recognition of professional bodies in Hong Kong, USA and Canada....), you become both a certified IT professional and a System Audit/Security specialist, which will reward yourself with a brilliant career potential and greatly enhance your skills and professional asset.
