Review Course Re-Take Discount
Students who take a West Florida Chapter review class and do not pass the corresponding ISACA Certification Exam are eligible for a one-time 50% discount on the next review class offered by the West Florida Chapter for the exam. For example, if you take the CISA review class with West Florida Chapter in May, and you did not pass the CISA exam in June, you will get 50% off the cost for the next CISA review class offered in the fall by West Florida Chapter. This also applies to the CISM and CRISC review classes.
- The discount does not apply to the Certification exams, as these are administered by ISACA.
- The discount is not applicable to a different review course. For example, in the above example, students would receive a discount only for the September CISA Review Course. No discounts would be offered for other review courses offered at the same time.
- The discount is not transferable. It may only be redeemed by the student taking the course.
- To redeem the discount, students must contact the Certifications Director within 30 days of being notified of Certification exam scores by ISACA. You will be issued a discount code to use during the registration process.
If you have any questions about this policy, please contact the Certifications Director
