Once a CISA candidate has passed the CISA certification exam and has met the work experience requirements, the final step is to complete the CISA application for certification. There are three ways to obtain the CISA application:
- Online Application Form
-
Download application in PDF format (PDF, 115K); or
-
Request an application (sent in postal mail).
In addition to the experience and degree waivers detailed within the CISA application, there are additional waivers that can be used toward CISA certification. Please note that substitutions and waivers of experience in total cannot exceed three years.
The following degrees/programs can be used as a two year educational waiver toward certification:
- ACCA member status from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
- Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) full certification. (No waiver for the CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting or the CIMA Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting both earned en route to becoming fully qualified.)
The following degree can be used as a one year educational waiver toward certification:
- Master’s degree in Information Systems or IT from a university.
Applicants who have earned/acquired other credentials, advanced degrees and/or certificates not listed above or within the CISA application for certification that includes a significant IS auditing, control, assurance or security component are welcome to submit them to the CISA Certification Board for consideration. |
