This course is designed for IT professionals preparing to take the ISACA Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) examination, which is held in June and December each year. Successful candidates who pass the exam and have at least three years of relevant work experience will be awarded the CISM qualification.

The CISM exam

The CISM examination runs a multiple-choice format and consists of a 4-hour session (240 minutes) with 150 questions. The examination tests the candidate’s knowledge of Information System Security, Information Security, Information Security Management principles and practices, as well as technical content areas.

ISACA uses and reports scores on a common scale from 200 to 800.

A candidate must receive a score of 450 or higher to pass.
A score of 800 represents a perfect score with all questions answered correctly.
A score of 200 represents the lowest score possible and signifies only a small number of questions were answered correctly.

The CISM exam is not included in this training course and candidates must book their June or December exam session directly with ISACA. My personal training experience shows that delegates have the highest chance of success if they sit the exam approximately two to four weeks after completing the training course.

Exam dates

The exam is not taken during this training course. It needs to be booked directly with ISACA. There are strict booking dates for the exam, with an advance registration deadline date.
