Course overview

Download the course datasheetThe full outline for ISACA Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC), as a PDF.
thinQtank® Learning is offering a unique instructor-led training camp that gives students the knowledge and skills needed to govern IT risk inside a real organizational structure — identifying and analyzing risk honestly, choosing a response and designing the controls that carry it, and then monitoring and reporting in terms a board will act on rather than merely acknowledge.

This course also helps students prepare to take the ISACA CRISC exam. It is built on the exam content outline that took effect on 3 NOVEMBER 2025, when ISACA revised the CRISC job practice: Risk Assessment rose from 20% to 22% and Technology and Security fell from 22% to 20%. Material still quoting the older split is a year out of date.
