How do I register for the CIA exam?

I'm having problems scheduling my exam with PearsonVUE.

What learning materials cover the current certification exam?

Both Version 6.0 and Version 7.0 will prepare you for the current CIA exam.

New IPPF standards were announced in 2024 and are expected to impact the CIA exam in May 2025 or later. We are currently reviewing the implications of the new IPPF on the CIA Learning System. If you are concerned about not completing your CIA exam prior to the syllabus change, we encourage you to only purchase study materials for single parts, rather than all three. Updated information about the CIA Learning System will be available in the coming months. Click here to learn more about changes to the CIA syllabi and exam.

To prepare for the current exam, order Version 7.0 online now.

You can schedule your CIA exam on PearsonVUE's website at https://home.pearsonvue.com/Clients/IIA.aspx. If you are having issues with this process, please contact The IIA's Customer Relations team at https://na.theiia.org/about-us/Pages/Contact-Us.aspx.

You can find complete details on The IIA's Steps to Certification page at https://na.theiia.org/certification/new/Pages/Steps-to-Certification.aspx. If you don't find the answer you're looking for, please contact The IIA's Customer Relations team at https://na.theiia.org/about-us/Pages/Contact-Us.aspx.

Great question!
Three printed books are available as part of the full, 3-part CIA Learning System. One printed book is associated with each individual part. Adding printed books to your program is optional. The content in the books is available as part of your online study tools.

Great question!
Thousands of online test questions are available. New questions were added with the release of Version 7.0 and our question bank is constantly evolving. All questions were written specifically for CIA exam preparation as opposed to other review programs that may contain CPA and CMA review questions.

If you ordered the Online Only program but would like to add printed books, select your program below:
