Recommended package

TIAS will coordinate the official CISA study materials and the exam voucher for participants, after receiving confirmation of whether participants wish to make use of the additional recommended materials.

In addition to the mandatory exam component, participants may choose to have the recommended package arranged by TIAS. This package is intended for participants who prefer a fully supported and hassle-free experience and would like all required and recommended components to be organised on their behalf, even if this involves additional costs.

The recommended package consists of the official course book (CISA Review Manual 28th edition), Question Answer & Explanation (QAE) Database and the exam voucher. This ensures that participants have access to all relevant learning materials needed for optimal preparation for the CISA examination. Participants are encouraged to register as ISACA members, as pricing for both the exam and the study materials is more favourable for members than for non-members. Scheduling the CISA exam via the ISACA website remains the responsibility of the participants themselves. If a participant is unable to take the exam within the 365-day eligibility period, the exam fee will be forfeited.
