Overview:
The San Diego ISACA Chapter provides one weekend (total 16 CPE hours) sessions for exam preparation. However, these sessions are not intended to be basic teaching sessions by themselves. The candidates should have the proper educational background in all of the subject areas. The sessions are designed to review the domains that comprise each examination and to clarify the more difficult material. The sessions will include lectures and discussions with time for questions raised by the participants, and exam practice questions.
NOTE: These review courses are intended to assist participants in their preparation for the exam(s). However, there is no guarantee that completion of any review course will ensure passage of the examination.

Class preparation will benefit from reading the domain (chapter) material prior to the class session. Instructors may hand out additional materials if deemed appropriate.
Instructors will NOT provide a hardcopy of handouts so bring your tablet or laptop. A digital copy of material will be provided.
