TESTIMONIALS:

“For anyone looking for ISACA certification specifically CISM certification I found Megamind’s Weekend Training to be the most valuable. Taught by Krag Brotby who is an expert in Information Security. It helped me study more effectively and have a deeper understanding and appreciation of the material.
Highly recommended.”
Garo S., Software Development Mgr.

“Excellent instructor and training! What I liked the most about the CISM Live, Online Training was Krag’s tips on how to handle exam questions and also that the recordings of the trainings are available even after the training ends. Excellent after training support, too!”
Prashant M., Associate Manager

“Excellent advice regarding how to prepare for the exam, and what to expect at the exam. Good format (many sample exam questions preceded by a lesson and followed by logic of the answer). Well worth the money. I’d done the studying for the test and I was looking for a percent or two additional edge. I feel I got the percent or two and then some. I passed!”
Chuck R., IT Director
