How to register and schedule the CGEIT exam
Starting in 2017, the CGEIT exam will be offered via a computer-based testing (CBT) session, which is available during three testing windows per year. All candidates must first register online direct with ISACA and pay for the examination in advance. They will then receive email instructions on how to schedule an exam appointment at a local PSI exam centre. For the May-June 2017 window only, this notification will be delayed until 15 February 2017 for anyone who purchases prior to this date.

Continuing professional education
There is a continuing professional education (CPE) policy in respect of qualified CGEIT professionals. The goal of this policy is to ensure that all CGEITs maintain an adequate level of current knowledge and proficiency in the field of IT governance.
“CGEITs who successfully comply with the continuing professional education policy will be better equipped to support the Board of Directors and executive management.” The responsibility for setting the CPE requirements rests with the CGEIT Certification Board, which oversees the process and requirements to ensure their applicability.
Maintenance fees and a minimum of 20 contact hours of CPE are required annually. In addition, a minimum of 120 contact hours are required during a fixed three-year period. Please see the Maintain Your CGEIT page on the ISACA website for further details.
