ISACA Global News
Change to access periods for ISACA Global learning resources

Since 16 April 2026, newly purchased ISACA exams, QAE and online course products have been subject to a reduced access period of 6 months (instead of the previous 12 months). Non-sponsored webinars and virtual workshops will also only be available for a period of 6 months in future.

This change follows an analysis of learning behaviour: most participants complete their exam preparation within less than 6 months and demonstrably achieve higher pass rates during this period.

The new policy aims to better align learning resources with actual usage in order to provide targeted support to members in successfully completing their certifications.

For further information or enquiries, please contact ISACA Support | isaca.org.
