Question 1

What is CISA training at SkilBrill?

Accepted Answer

It is exam preparation for the ISACA CISA, taught on the five published job practices: the IS auditing process, governance and management of IT, acquisition and implementation, operations and business resilience, and protection of information assets. SkilBrill runs it over 12 weeks and 72 hours.

Question 2

How is this different from the IT GRC course?

Accepted Answer

IT GRC teaches you to build governance, risk and control programmes — the practitioner side. CISA trains you to audit them: planning an engagement, gathering evidence, testing whether a control operates, and writing a finding that holds. One builds controls, the other assures them, and teams usually need both.

Question 3

What experience do I need to certify?

Accepted Answer

ISACA requires five years of information systems auditing, assurance or control work, with defined waivers for a related degree or other credentials. You may sit the exam before meeting it, but the certification depends on the experience requirement and application. Check the current ISACA criteria for your own situation before booking.

Question 4

Do I need an audit background to start?

Accepted Answer

Some audit vocabulary helps, but it is taught. If you are coming from a technical or security background you will find the evidence and reporting modules the steepest; if you are coming from internal audit, the technical protection module will be. Both are covered from first principles.

Question 5

What does the syllabus cover?

Accepted Answer

Eight modules: the five CISA job practices in published order, audit evidence and testing technique, finding writing and communication, and a capstone built on a full timed practice exam.

Question 6

What is the duration and fee?

Accepted Answer

12 weeks, three sessions a week of two hours each, totalling 72 classroom hours. Fees are ₹45,000 – ₹75,000 depending on batch and mode.

Question 7

What jobs can I get after CISA?

Accepted Answer

Information systems auditor, IT auditor, internal auditor with IT scope, compliance analyst and risk and controls specialist. In India these typically start at ₹8–22 LPA, with experienced external audit roles above the band.
