If there are specific questions you might have, please email them through (preferably as a word document or similar) so we can discuss them.  If we don’t get to them all in the session they can be carried forward to the following week or even an additional special sitting considered.

The sessions from the last few weeks have been reasonably successfully broadcast and recorded on Google Hangouts On Air so we will try to do the same for this afternoon’s session.  If there is something we can improve ahead of the next session please let us know.

Posted on March 31, 2015

Last week we held the third of the CISA facilitated study sessions at the ITSec offices.  The number of attendees is still growing and we have an increasingly diverse group of attendees which is greatly beneficial to all participating.  The last two sessions were broadcast on Google Hangouts on Air.  Our listener count was up to two :)  The benefit of doing the broadcast is that it is recorded and now available for anybody to watch / listen to. Check it out (links in post below) and let us know if it is useful.

This evening’s session beings in about two hours. Please feel free to join us.

Attached below are the slides from the session of 24/3/2014 as well as tonight’s session (they are also in the recorded hangout).

Last night we held the second of the CISA facilitated study sessions at the ITSec offices.  The number of attendees is growing and we have an increasingly diverse group of attendees which is greatly beneficial to all participating.  We also broadcast the session on Google Hangouts on Air.  We had a total of zero :) live listeners to the event. The benefit of doing the broadcast is that it is recorded and now available for anybody to watch / listen to. Check it out (links in post below) and let us know if it is useful. I encourage anybody who would like to join the live session next week to listen to this week’s session and just leave a comment here or pop me a mail / message on twitter to let me know you will be joining.

Attached below are the slides from last night for your reference (they are also in the recorded hangout).

Posted on March 16, 2015

ITSec is hosting CISA Exam Preparation facilitated study sessions at our offices in West Riding, Durban. Last week we had the kickoff session where we just did some introductions, discussed expectations of the participants for the exam and for the study sessions, spoke a bit about the structure of the exam and the five practice domains,  spoke through Geroge Pajari’s Ten Steps to acing the exam, agreed and approach to the studies and set some objectives and pre-work for the next study session (to be held on Tuesday 17th March 2015).

If you are based in KZN you are welcome to join us for these sessions. Take a look on the ITSec website for directions to our offices (a map is included in the presentation pack).

On Tuesday 17th March at 4:45pm South Africa time (GMT+2) we will be covering Chapter 1 of the study guide. Participants were asked to do the self assessment on the ISACA website, read Chapter 1, note down area of concern, do some of the sample questions and come with a list of questions that went wrong.

For those not close enough to join us for the sessions, download the slides, read through and see if you can find some useful tips in there. You can also use the study schedule, customise it for your use, and then have a structured plan for your exam prep. Having a structure to assist in your study discipline is always a good idea.

We are going to try and set up a Google hangout for the session Tuesday afternoon. I am not sure how that will work out, we don’t have professional equipment to broadcoast the session, so it will be done off a reasonable webcam. Feel free to join us.
