ABOUT THE CISM® EXAM:

If you’re planning to take the CISM® Exam,
then this training is for you!

This class is taught by renowned security expert,
Krag Brotby, CISM CGEIT
Author of the ISACA CISM® REVIEW MANUAL

This INTENSIVE 2-day LIVE, INSTRUCTOR-LED ONLINE TRAINING prepares you for the official CISM® Exam by specifically focusing on developing the critical examination skills required for your success on the exam.

  • You’ll learn how to avoid the mistakes so many make that often result in failure. 
  • You’ll be provided with a set of invaluable tools and approaches that maximize your chance of mastering this very difficult exam.
  • You’ll learn firsthand from Krag Brotby…the “go-to-expert” for the CISM exam.
  • You’ll feel more confident in knowing you are well prepared to take the CISM exam.

This highly interactive, hands-on training is 12 hours (6 hours per day). 

This 2-day course focuses on the final preparation for the CISM exam, including: review of concepts, definitions, and exam question analysis.  It provides an intense, boot camp learning environment where attendees are immersed in exam prep.  Actual testing is conducted during the class and approx. 200 questions (and answers) are reviewed.  Attendees receive a set of invaluable tools and approaches that help you in mastering this very difficult exam.

OBJECTIVES:

This intensive two-day accelerated training covers the three essentials necessary for your success on the CISM® Exam:

1) A thorough understanding of the exam itself.

It must be understood that there are no fact questions and very little that can be productively committed to memory other than terms and concepts. Understanding the fundamental concepts, and how to arrive at the best answer is the key to successfully negotiating what is universally regarded as a very difficult examination.

2) A clear understanding of the core concepts that are the basis for the CISM program.

Exam questions explore the depth of understanding of these concepts and the ability to apply them in a variety of scenarios. Exam questions are based on the 97 Task and Knowledge Statements which are a reflection of the core concepts. Each is examined to ensure you gain a clear understanding consistent with the exam.

3) And, an understanding of the numerous terms, being able to clearly define them, as well as having clarity on the underlying concepts.

Without knowing the definition of terms consistent with their usage in the exam, it will be difficult to analyze the questions correctly and determine the best answer.

STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS:

For maximum benefit, each student should purchase & study materials prior to attending the workshop:

  • ISACA CISM® Review Manual (15th edition)
  • ISACA CISM Practice Questions Database
  • Krag’s Glossary Document for the CISM (provided by Megamind).
    Send an email to info@Megamind.org to receive a free copy of the CISM Glossary.

ISACA items may be purchased directly thru the ISACA bookstore (www.isaca.org).

While the critical concepts are explored during the workshop, the primary focus is on developing the skills and understanding the essentials to mastering this unique examination, there is insufficient time to study in-depth the manual content during the 2-day class.

For a more comprehensive review of the topics and the CISM® manual, the Megamind Intensive Boot Camp Training for the CISM course should be considered.

The ISACA Question and Answer (QAE) publication will be used as a sample examination and provides an explanation of the answers as an aid to understanding how to choose the best answers for the CISM exam.
