Course Overview

ISACA's Fundamentals certificates are entry-level, vendor-neutral certificates that prove you understand the basics of a core IT area - with no prior experience or qualifications required. They are ideal if you are starting out in IT, changing careers, or building the foundations before a professional certification. Please note an important change: ISACA has retired the combined ITCA (Information Technology Certified Associate) credential for new candidates. ITCA used to be earned by passing five Fundamentals certificate exams together. That bundled credential is no longer available to new learners. However, the individual Fundamentals certificates remain available to earn on their own - for example Cybersecurity Fundamentals and Data Science Fundamentals (confirm the current list on isaca.org). Each certificate is earned by passing one exam. The exam takes about two hours, mixes multiple-choice questions with hands-on tasks in a virtual lab, and requires about 65% to pass. You can register at any time and sit it online with remote proctoring. There is no experience requirement.
