ACI Learning Reviews

Very thorough exercise in reinforcing and applying concepts from ACL 101. This is a fast paced course, so prior experience or completion of the self paced Galvanize Academy is recommended. Instructor (Keith) is very experienced in both ACL and industry and skilled at explaining concepts.

We auditors need to be open minded in the different approaches to audit methodology as we continue to shift into a technology driven world. This course made me think of audit from a completely different perspective. Jim was engaging, knowledgeable and initiated thought provoking discussions.

Great course with an excellent instructor. Very in depth material explained thoroughly and efficiently.

Some of the items that are not IT auditing specific at the beginning I would drop. Misti has a tendency to be redundant in a lot of their courses, focusing on entry-level auditing in all of there class. yes this can be covered but cover it faster. Shouldn't take a day of class. I don't think this is an instructor issue as it is in all of the MISTI classes. that time could have been used to cover the last two sections in more depth rather than rushed.

Up to date info.

For the title being IT audit school it was very light on actual audit work. I appreciate the overview of concepts and criteria, but as far as actually audit test there was little.

Keith Pennifold is an excellent instructor. He is extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer questions and fix syntax errors with limited details.

The course would be better live, but given the circumstances, I could not have expected more. Keith did an excellent job for first time presenting virtually.

Instructor was very attentive to questions and discussing topics relative to participant job functions. The instructor utilized many real world examples which helped make a connection to the content. The instructor did a nice job prompting discussions surrounding what we as auditors should be asking and looking for when conducting and scoping audits.

With a title like "Cybersecurity Audit School" I was under the impression that it would be more focused on the auditing aspects of cybersecurity, instead of building a program and then where Audit fits in. Seems like the course "Auditing a Cybersecurity Program" may have been more along the lines of my expectations. It was still a great class with alot of great takeaways so I was pleased in the end, just not exactly what I expected walking in.
