Hey all,

how are people doing for CISA certification applications... I'm currently sitting on a status of "Unreviewed", has been a few days now...

How are everybody else's applications doing?

    Nothing yet on my CISM application... still "Unreviewed"
  • Lucky_luckLucky_luck Registered Users Posts: 1 ■□□□□□□□□□
    Mine was "completed- Under review" for a week, then it's changed to "incomplete"

    I sent an email inquiry about it, they replied that one of the verification forms isn't accepted due to some rules and I need to provide them another verification form signed by a different verifier. I did that and sent the form to them and I'm still waiting.

    Sitting at the mid-point, 3 weeks, when I submitted my application; still have the "Unreviewed" status.
  • empsecukempsecuk Member Posts: 21 ■□□□□□□□□□
    I'm also about 3 weeks in .... and still 'unreviewed' (well, I was last night, I can't access the isaca site today!)

    Application status changed today or yesterday (I couldn't access the portal yesterday) to:

    Complete-Under Review

    It's taken exactly 3 weeks from application submission... I understand that applications are done in batches...

    Anyone else had their status updated?
  • FrankMat74FrankMat74 Member Posts: 40 ■■□□□□□□□□
    Just tried to look, website is not available. I was still, last time I saw, at unreviewed. Maybe I sent too many supportive documents to support my CISA request; 8 attachments with my application.
  • FrankMat74FrankMat74 Member Posts: 40 ■■□□□□□□□□
    No change for me; guess I am on the bottom of the pile.
  • empsecukempsecuk Member Posts: 21 ■□□□□□□□□□
    Well, with my CISM, I screwed something up on my application form... I think I went quite quickly through this stage, right through to "Not Certified - need more info" and then had to supply a load of extra info and get my form re-signed

    hmm

    uh oh.. not again
  • Sandhiya1Sandhiya1 Member Posts: 7 ■□□□□□□□□□
    As in i have e-mailed


    certification@isaca.org along with my signed application form and other supportings will that suffice?


  • FrankMat74FrankMat74 Member Posts: 40 ■■□□□□□□□□
    I just got a new status change; complete-under review-Progress, Yes!


    I followed the threads on TECHEXAM to get a roadmap to success, will see if what I had provided answers the applic requirement
  • empsecukempsecuk Member Posts: 21 ■□□□□□□□□□
    @ FrankMat74 - Glad you're getting some progress!

    @Sandhiya1 - That's what I have done for both applications... Worked for the first one (except a verifier had ticked the wrong box and I hadn't noticed). Will know, hopefully, soon whether or not it's worked for the CISA!
  • empsecukempsecuk Member Posts: 21 ■□□□□□□□□□
    Well... I had messed something on the form again.. Went from Complete - Under Review, to Incomplete (please email us), back to Complete - Under Review again ..

    Fingers crossed!!

    Can't wait to add the certification to my CV.... Already working on my next qualifications icon_study.gif, which - thank god - are not experience based.. Also delivered through computer based testing with instant results.. icon_thumright.gif
  • FrankMat74FrankMat74 Member Posts: 40 ■■□□□□□□□□
    ouch. No change. I'm hoping to get this one "approved" so I can apply my current SANS GCIH course toward the annual CPE requirements
  • empsecukempsecuk Member Posts: 21 ■□□□□□□□□□
    I keep hitting refresh... I'll probably end up calling them tomorrow to ask how long they think it will take ... Maybe I'll wait until the end of the week.. I keep calling them, international rates are getting expensive!

    How are you finding the SANS course?

    I'm tempted to do the following:
    - GCIH,
    - GCIA,
    - GREM,
    - GPEN,
    - GWAPT,
    - GXPN,
    - GCUX,
    - GCWN,
    - GWAN,
    - GSLC,
    - GSSP-JAVA
    - GSSP-.NET
    - GWEB
    - GLEG

    .. I'd ultimately like to aim for the GSE! It's gonna be a busy decade i think
  • empsecukempsecuk Member Posts: 21 ■□□□□□□□□□
    But, before I get any of those.. I'm trying to get through some IAPP certifications, as well as some CESG qualifications.. and I'm considering:

    * CEH -> ECSA -> LPT
    * CREST RT - CREST (web testing, I forget the name)
    * SABSA

    as well as working a proposal for a (part time) PhD..

    Answer to your question-Its like drinking from a waterhose. If you have done enough security training, your already going to capture enough information being presented. Once I'm done, I will revist the GCIH post and add my two cents.

    You have quite the inventory of desired training/certification ahead of you.

    Just looked today and status changed to approved! Applied on the first day after the exam results were received.
  • empsecukempsecuk Member Posts: 21 ■□□□□□□□□□
    I was approved also!! :)

    Now the final wait before certification... I guess they - in part at least - practice what they preach.. Someone has to probably verify that someone hasn't just approved their best friend or something..

    Well, looking forward to getting a certificate too.. Probably just in time for Christmas! heh
  • FrankMat74FrankMat74 Member Posts: 40 ■■□□□□□□□□
    I still wait...
  • empsecukempsecuk Member Posts: 21 ■□□□□□□□□□
    hmmm... Still on "Complete - Under Review"?

    Maybe give them a call? Or an email?

    I just want that final status change ... Can't wait...
  • GarudaMinGarudaMin Member Posts: 204

  • empsecukempsecuk Member Posts: 21 ■□□□□□□□□□

  • GarudaMinGarudaMin Member Posts: 204
    I am not sure about the look and feel of the badge though :D I think they could have come up with better graphics.
  • varunglvarungl Member Posts: 32 ■■□□□□□□□□
    I applied for certification on 3rd November 2014. Completed 3 weeks today post submission.

    Still shows "unreviewed"...? How long more before it MOVES ...?

    Wishing you the best in your upcoming exams. For someone like me, am now preparing for the June 2015 so hope to learn from my fellow brothers here.
  • bapujjibapujji Registered Users Posts: 1 ■□□□□□□□□□
    Varun, Is there any change in your CISA approval process? I am in the same boat.
  • pharmorjacpharmorjac Member Posts: 9 ■□□□□□□□□□
    I received an email saying ISACA had received my application on 10/28/14.

    The email said they would let me know within 6 weeks.

    6 weeks have passed and my application remains in Complete-Under Review.

    Thanks ISACA
