The IIA CIA Learning System is a comprehensive professional development and exam preparation program. It combines print materials and interactive online learning software to deliver a customized learning experience.

Comprehensive Print Materials

The IIA CIA Learning System includes printed modules that correspond to the four parts of the CIA exam and provide the framework for your successful CIA exam preparation. This extensive content is organized by sections so you can tailor your studies to areas that require additional study. Students registering for The Internal Audit Activity’s Role in Governance, Risk, and Control receive the corresponding book. (Students registering for the entire series receive all four books in a convenient carrying case with a snap closure.)

• Read and learn the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) syllabus in a concise, easy-to-understand format.
• Use book(s) as reference materials for years to come.

Interactive Online Review, Testing, and Resources

To solidify the knowledge covered in the printed materials, you will have easy access to a variety of interactive learning tools offered online to enhance your studies. This web-based testing is designed to help you apply what you've studied in the modules and test your retention.

• Pre-test offered at the beginning of each part to gauge your initial level of knowledge and to help set a study plan focused on topics that require the most improvement.
• Section-specific tests to measure your comprehension of specific topics. Each answer includes a rationale to provide you more in-depth understanding of the topic.
• Post-tests offered at the end of each part to gauge the knowledge you’ve gained and areas that require further study.
• Final review test combines all the questions found in each part for additional exam practice.
• eFlashcards and glossary to help you review key terms and definitions.
• Progress report to track your activities and scores.
• Resource Center providing additional reference and feedback opportunities.

Course content reflects the general body of knowledge tested by The IIA CIA examination. Although The IIA recommends using The IIA CIA Learning System as a tool for study of the CIA body of knowledge, this course of study can in no way guarantee or ensure an individual’s success on the IIA CIA certification exam.

Information on the CIA exam, exam qualifications and exam fees (not included in course fees) can be found at www.theiia.org.
