Kasneb CISA Syllabus

Kasneb CISA syllabus outlook:

The CSIA examination is held twice yearly in June and December. The examination is divided into three parts of two sections each. Each section consists of three papers.

A candidate may attempt two sections in a part together or separately in ascending order but before proceeding to the next part, a candidate must pass the lower part.

The examination is rigorous and standards are high and therefore a candidate is advised to devote approximately the equivalent of eighteen months of full time study for each part of the examination.

Ideally therefore, a student should be able to complete the CSIA examination in between four and a half and six years. The following are the papers contained in each part of the CSIA examination:
