Steps to Become a CIA

We have revised our 'Steps to Become a CIA' to include any extra steps required for International Candidates as well as remove information that does not apply to them (because we only offer Online and not a Complete System). It is our hope that these six steps will make the process of signing up for and PASSING the CIA exam much simpler and more straightforward.

  1. Become knowledgeable about the exam, and determine which part of the exam you will take first.
  2. Purchase CIA Gleim Online to thoroughly prepare for the CIA exam.
  3. Schedule your exam with Pearson VUE (online or call center).
  4. Work systematically through each study unit in the Gleim CIA Review Online.
  5. Sit for and PASS the CIA exam while you are in control. Gleim Guarantees Success!
