This course is designed for IT professionals preparing to take the ISACA Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) 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 CRISC qualification.

The CRISC exam

The CRISC 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 risk 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 CRISC 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.

Review Manual

A copy of the current CRISC^® Review Manual is essential (in theory) for any exam candidate. Unless you already have your copy, you have the option to purchase the CRISC^® Review Manual on the official ISACA CRISC website.

CRISC® QAE

This document was publicly available a few years ago (definitely, when I was taking the CRISC^® exam). Its purpose was to guide and provide assistance to question writers, enabling them to become more skilled in writing exam questions.

The Risk IT Framework 2nd Edition

The MOST important position that MUST be read before the CRISC^® exam.

The Risk IT offers a structured, systematic methodology for enterprise-wide risk management, which is the backbone of the entire CRISC^® exam. Together with the “The Risk IT Practitioner Guide”, both publications were the most important books that I read before the exam. IMHO they are even more important the the Review Manual itself.

The ISACA Glossary

People taking the ISACA exam are generally quite experienced, so it may sound like a joke or an easy way to “fill the gaps” on the website, so UX design is better 🙂

However, believe me, after passing more than 200 exams, I can say that each organization/certification body has its “flavours” and sometimes slightly different definitions of common topics. So it’s valuable to at least take a glimpse at a glossary once.
