ISACA CISM and CISA

The ISACA CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) and CISM (Certified Information Security Manager) certifications are internationally renowned and highly sought after credentials and, as such, earning them is not an easy feat. Not only is the material covered in both exams taxing but you can’t simply study and test once you feel ready. ISACA only administers these exams three times a year in June, September and December. Seats fill up fast.

Your location can play a major role in choosing test dates since locations vary between test days, especially for the September exam. Keep reading to see where you can go to take the June, September or December certification exams in the US and abroad.

CISA and CISM Exam Locations Outside of the US

As stated stated previously, the CISA and CISM certifications are both internationally recognized and likewise testing is administered all over the globe. However, similar to the US, testing is limited to a select number of sites during the September exam date. Only 31 countries (vs. 101 during June and December) outside of the US will hold testing sites for both exams. The September CISA and CISM exams will not be administered in German, Italian or Hebrew, which is available during the other two dates.

For the complete list of international cities administering the CISM and CISA exams in June, September and December visit the ISACA website.
