ISACA Selects VCampus to Develop Web-based Educational Programs for CISA(R) Certification
March 06 2007 - 8:10AM
Business Wire
VCampus Corporation (OTCBB:VCMP.OB) announced today that it has
been selected by ISACA to create a web-based exam preparation
course for the Certified Information Systems Auditor� (CISA�)
certification. The CISA certification, established in 1978 and held
by more than 50,000 professionals, measures excellence in IS
auditing, control and security. Demand for the CISA certification
has been steadily increasing since the designation was first
introduced. Its growth has recently accelerated as the need for
professionals with proven skills, knowledge and experience in
assessing an organization�s IT and business systems has become
mandated by law or been recognized as good business practice. More
than 30,000 IT practitioners are expected to take the exam in 2007.
The growth of the certification has resulted in adding an extra
exam administration to accommodate this demand. An even greater
demand for the certification is anticipated due to a new initiative
from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Information Assurance
Workforce Improvement Program that names CISA as an approved
certification for its information assurance professionals.
Elsewhere, numerous countries, organizations and groups have also
recognized and required the attainment of CISA certification as a
requirement to conduct systems audits or security reviews. The
online preparation course will allow ISACA to reach professionals
throughout the world with a consistent, efficient and cost
effective tool for exam preparation. The goal of the course is to
effectively and efficiently prepare professionals for the CISA exam
and will include interactive exercises, case studies, review
sessions and practice exams. The CISA test-prep portal will feature
six modules that map directly to each area of the certification
exam and provide credential holders and other IT audit
professionals with a means toward recertification. These modules
include Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery; Protection of
Information Assets; IT Service Delivery and Support Systems,
Infrastructure and Information Life-Cycle Management; IT
Governance; and IS Audit Process. �In this era of corporate
governance, information systems auditors continue to play an
increasing and critical role in ensuring regulatory compliance, and
we�ve seen tremendous growth worldwide in the demand for CISA
professionals as a result,� said Mark H. Petterson, CISA, CPA,
member of ISACA�s CISA Certification Board. �To better prepare
those seeking certification, we are excited to be able to provide
an intensive Web-based learning portal that can be easily accessed
by our global constituency. We selected VCampus to develop our
portal based on its proven track record of creating specialized
e-learning experiences for industry certifications.� �VCampus is
dedicated to providing professionals the full power of Web
technologies and resources to help them successfully prepare for
certification exams,� said Nat Kannan, CEO of VCampus. �We are
truly excited about being selected by a world leading certifying
body such as ISACA after a rigorous evaluation. We�ll leverage our
experience in delivering more than 3 million online courses
globally to create an online portal tailored to the specific needs
of CISA exam takers. With this portal, ISACA will be able to expand
its CISA-preparation offerings and implement an effective online
training solution for its members.� The ISACA partnership extends
VCampus� commitment to helping organizations create and develop
certification training programs within the IT, security and
financial industries. ISACA�s CISA portal will be designed based on
VCampus� proven Select Partner� program methodology. This program
aligns subject matter expertise from partner organizations, such as
ISACA, with VCampus� online educational expertise to create
structured and specialized e-learning curricula and resources.
