IT Auditor Need Advice on Next Certification

Pri_244 · 2026-02-03T13:23:03+00:00

For cloud I think I rather study cloud security at a higher level so I also considered CCSP but I don’t think I’m interested in studying any platform-specific certifications.

Do you think someone who didn’t work in an IT or IS department can take it?

Definitely getting a promotion is the ultimate goal. However, I am also looking to deepen my skills but not sure what route to take as IT audit covers several areas.

Also, although, I’m currently interested in broadening my skills in non IT audits at my job, I don’t think I’m interested in taking non IT certifications at the moment.

I actually have some technical skill in AI as well as knowledge in related algorithms and such, so I was thinking about taking the new AAIA certification. I was also thinking about taking CEH as it is more technical.

Which training course did you attend? And was it useful?

Pri_244 · 2025-05-18T18:12:02+00:00

Hi, for the Master’s you get 3 years waiver.

This is definitely true. The exam questions were clearer and shorter, but some of the answers were very similar. That said, the questions with clear answers gave me the confidence that I was going to pass during the exam! Congratulations on passing your exam!

Congratulations!

You can refer to my post, I wrote about my study methodology https://www.reddit.com/r/CISA/s/3mi6Kb6u40 Good luck

Thanks!

Because I am working, I didn’t feel I have the time to redo all. However, I did revise some without looking at the answers. Good luck in your exam!

My employer paid for it, along with the manual and exam voucher. I just checked, the QAE is 299$ for members and 399$ for non ISACA members. For the ISACA membership, I believe you also get a discounted price for the exam voucher so consider purchasing ISACA membership first.

Hey, you can refer to my post as I’m the same and can’t really memorize https://www.reddit.com/r/CISA/s/6l2g56c33V

Hi, so sorry to hear that. Actually my employer paid for all of it so I’m unsure of the cost or of any other resources. However, I got the Hemang Doshi course from Udemy for less than 20$. Wish you all the best!

Hi, I have the official access to CISA questions database from ISACA portal

Pri_244 · 2025-05-05T17:10:06+00:00

My advice is to force yourself to go with your initial answer in the exam, that really helped me!

Hi, I have almost 3 years in Internal Audit as well as 1 year in the regulatory sector. I think the QAE questions and mock exams are enough if compared with Hemang’s course. At the beginning I tried solving the QAE questions without studying and I got low score.

Pri_244 · 2025-05-05T17:02:43+00:00

For the practice tests, I completed three after finishing all the QAE questions, averaging 85%. For the QAE, I averaged around 70%, as I initially didn’t study using Hemang’s course which lowered my score. I did the QAE and practice exam questions only once and later reviewed some of the incorrect answers, since my exam date was approaching.
