Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before enrolling.

Is training delivered online or in-person?

ecfirst delivers training in both formats. Our live instructor-led sessions are available virtually via Zoom/Teams for maximum flexibility, and in-person classroom options can be arranged for enterprise groups. All formats cover the same exam-aligned curriculum.

Can I sit the ISACA exam online from anywhere?

Yes. ISACA offers remote proctored exams you can take from home or the office, as well as in-person testing at authorized centers in 180+ countries. ecfirst training prepares you for both formats, and we guide you through the registration process.

How long does the training program take?

Most programs run over 4–6 weeks of structured instructor-led sessions, typically with 2–3 sessions per week. The pace is designed to balance thorough domain coverage with your work schedule. Enterprise cohorts can request accelerated or extended formats.

Do I need prior IT or cybersecurity experience to enroll?

Prerequisites vary by certification. CISA and CISM require work experience in IT audit or security management (ISACA mandates 5 years, with waivers for education). The AI certs (AAIR, AAIA, AAISM) require an existing ISACA or equivalent designation. Our team will assess your background when you request a proposal.

What is the typical pass rate for ecfirst students?

Our students consistently outperform the global ISACA average pass rate. We attribute this to domain-by-domain instructor coverage, mock exams modeled on the actual ISACA question style, and targeted revision sessions in the weeks before the exam.

Are enterprise or group discounts available?

Yes. We offer enterprise packages for teams of 5 or more, including volume pricing, dedicated cohorts, custom scheduling, and progress reporting. Contact us via the form below and mention your team size to receive a tailored proposal.

What support do I receive after training ends?

Post-training support includes access to recorded sessions, a question bank for self-practice, and direct access to your instructor for queries before exam day. Enterprise clients also receive a post-certification progress report.
