TAKE ACTION FIRST ON CISA01Get ready now 02pass the exam 03Complete your experience
You can prepare for the exam without waiting for five years to pass.
Taking the CISA exam is not the same as getting the CISA title. You can take the exam without completing the experience requirement, and if you are successful, you can enter the period in which you will complete your experience with a strong start.
Turn your youthful energy and learning speed into exam preparation.
Make your knowledge visible; but don't use the full CISA designation yet.
Apply for certification by completing ISACA's applicable experience and application requirements.
Important distinction
According to ISACA, the exam can be taken without completing the experience. For full CISA certification, in addition to exam success, valid work experience and other formal requirements must be completed. Since there is a time limit for candidates who pass the exam to apply for certification, current conditions should always be checked from ISACA.

GRC Ustası INSTRUCTOR
Volkan Guler
GRC • IT Audit • Cybersecurity • Technology RiskHe was born and raised in Turkey. After his education at Bilkent University and Sabancı University, he conducted academic studies at KU Leuven with Bart Preneel, one of the world's leading cyber security academics.
He worked on the IT audit processes of two large banks in Turkey; He examined the cyber security and control environments of SMEs in more than 100 organized industrial zones.

He conducted cybersecurity and technology audits in different geographies, including Singapore, Hong Kong and the New York Financial District. Today, it provides second-level control services in Asia Pacific and the USA. What he talks about in this program is not just standards; the real idea of risk and control that he sees across different systems, teams, and cultures.

MY FREELANCE WORKS
Independent audit experience that I grew with my corporate duties.
I carried the control and audit perspective I gained in banks to different countries, teams and Türkiye's production ecosystem.
With technology, banking and assurance teams; Professional studies that combine local expectations and an international control approach.
Field examination of the cyber security, technology and control environment of more than 100 SMEs in organized industrial zones in Turkey.
Institutional names shown are used solely to indicate Volkan Güler's past professional experience. It does not mean that the relevant institutions are customers of GRC Ustası, support, sponsor, endorse, or have any commercial partnership with the GRC Ustası program.
GLOBAL AND Türkiye EXPERIENCE
Cities and Sectors I Do Business in
Cities where I have conducted banking, insurance, defence industry, SME and technology audits and second-line control work.
EXPERIENCE IS NOT JUST A POINT ON THE MAP
Dot on a map. It's a completely different world in auditing.
The way an institution works in New York is not the same as in Singapore. The expectations in Hong Kong are not the same as the control culture in Europe. The company structures in Turkey and the decision mechanisms of the Belgian banking environment are not the same.
Working in different geographies does not only provide travel experience. It teaches you to see how the same risk is evaluated in different companies, managers, regulations and cultures.
The real value of GRC starts here: Not memorizing the framework, but being able to read the risk of the environment you are in.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Let's clarify the questions in your mind.
Clear answers about the programme, CISA and ISO 27001 pathway, study pace and career support.
I don't have a technical background, can I join?
Yes. The program establishes the foundations of networking, operating system, cloud computing and access management in a business context. The goal is not to make you a software developer; To train a GRC expert who can understand the technology you control.
Is this a penetration testing training?
No. Instead of performing penetration testing, you learn to understand technology risks, test controls, gather evidence, write findings, and communicate business impact.
Do I have to wait five years to take the CISA exam?
No. ISACA clearly states that people who do not yet meet the experience requirement can also take the CISA exam. However, passing the exam alone does not entitle you to use the full CISA designation; Experience and other official requirements applicable to the certification application must also be completed.
If I pass the CISA exam, can I immediately say “I am CISA certified”?
No. The correct statement is to state that you passed the exam. The full CISA designation can only be used after ISACA's experience, application, ethics and other certification requirements are completed and the application is approved.
What does the program provide towards CISA and ISO 27001?
It establishes the basis for audit thinking, risk, control, evidence and reporting; It helps you understand the CISA exam approach and ISO 27001 audit logic. GRC Ustası completion certificate is issued; ISACA CISA or accredited ISO 27001 certification is not issued directly.
How long does education and career support last?
Training and real practices are carried out in the first six months. In the following six months, job search support continues with CV, LinkedIn, application strategy, interview preparation and planned one-on-one meetings.
What happens if I miss classes?
You can access the content for life. Regular follow-up is recommended to get the most out of live participation, implementation and feedback.
Can I participate if my English is not sufficient?
You can join; but English is important for standards, technical documentation and international teams. The program offers a gradual approach where you can understand Turkish and work with technical English.
Does the program provide job guarantee?
No. Provides training, implementation, visibility and job search support; It does not guarantee employment, income increase, exam success or certification.
Is there a refund?
Your legal rights of withdrawal and refund are reserved. Conditions are evaluated according to the type of service and performance. Withdrawal, cancellation and refund information.
