ISACA LA Virtual CRISC Certification Review Course

The courses will be held on four Saturdays for CRISC. These sessions are NOT designed as basic teaching sessions but rather to serve as comprehensive reviews for candidates with a proper educational background in all subject areas. Our goal is to cover all domains within the subject matter and provide clarity on more challenging concepts.

Each session will be led by an instructor and a facilitator who will address questions as they arise. The format will include a combination of lectures and discussions, with ample time allocated for participants to raise questions and engage in meaningful dialogue.

The sessions will run for up to five (5) hours each Saturday, from 8:30 AM PST to 1:30 PM PST, with scheduled breaks every hour. The length and frequency of breaks will be at the discretion of each instructor since the amount of time for each domain varies. Toward the conclusion of each session, the instructor may allocate time for a domain-specific question and answer session, utilizing a practice quiz.

Date:

October 12th, 19th, 26th, and November 2nd 2024 (up to 20 CPEs).

Zoom tracks the duration of each participant’s connection to the session, and CPEs will be earned according to the ISACA Guidelines (1 CPE hour for every 50 minutes). If you happen to disconnect, the timer will resume when you reconnect.

Time:

8:30 AM – 1:30 PM PST

Location:

Virtual Sessions via Zoom
