presented by: Audit Services

(www.auditservices.com)

This CIA Exam Review Course is quite popular, not only in the United States, but also in several other countries. Attendees/participants in this Review Course have included "Gold Medal" winners, those scoring the highest on the exam, as well as numerous others that have been recognized as having achieved scores in the top 25 of all participants taking the exam.

The CIA Exam Review Course includes both on-site lecturers and "hands-on" test taking opportunities. Following discussions of topics, attendees apply what was learned by answering actual prior CIA exam questions. Reasons for the correct answers, as well as why the other answers were incorrect, are discussed.

Lectures and classroom discussions focus on those subjects that are the most difficult to pass in each of the four parts of the exam covered during the course.

Over 2,000 pages of comprehensive study materials are provided in preparing for the exam.

Additionally, successful test-taking techniques are discussed to increase the probability of the participants successfully passing the exam.
