PREPARATION RECOMMENDATIONS:

For maximum benefit, it is recommended that each student purchase and review study materials prior to attending the workshop:

• ISACA CRISC® Review Manual – (latest edition)
• ISACA CRISC® QAE (Questions, Answers & Explanations) Manual (latest edition)
• ISACA CRISC® Practice Questions DB Download
• ISACA Glossary Document

The official ISACA study materials can be purchased directly thru the ISACA bookstore (www.isaca.org).

While the critical concepts are explored during the workshop, the focus is on developing the skills and understanding essential to mastering this unique examination, there is insufficient time to study in depth the manual content during the 2-day class. These topics will, however, be covered in the context of sample exam questions.
