Certification Training Courses Information (Free)
CISA/CISM/CGEIT Class of Spring 2021!
Let me take a moment to introduce myself – My name is Helen Zell and I am the ISACA Certifications coordinator. I am excited to invite you to partake in our free fall training programs for either the CISA, CISM, or CGEIT. These programs will consist of 6 sessions for the CISA, 5 sessions for the CISM, or 5 sessions for the CGEIT, and will be guided by some of the best mentors we have in Colorado! Each week different IT professionals, who have passed the CISA, CISM, and CGEIT exam, will teach a 4 hour long class via a virtual meeting.
There are also courses you can pay to take, via the web. The remainder of this section discusses the Free courses offered by the Denver Chapter.
1. Logistics
These sessions are now provided virtually via Zoom meetings. Upon receiving your RSVP to one of our classes, we will send out the meeting invite the week before the sessions begin.

4. Preparation
In preparation for every class please read the chapter we're planning to cover and have your questions ready. Our mentors will provide an in-depth discussion of each domain, but you will need to put the majority of your effort into studying outside the training program. In every class we will have a mentor covering a different domain and providing their own style of teaching. Some will focus on your questions, some on your test taking skills, some on Q&A from the CISA, CISM, or CGEIT databases - but all will do their best to provide you with guidance to pass your exam
