No job is 100% secure, but there are ways to improve your value – obtaining an IIA qualification is an ideal place to start. 

Recently, an IIA member issued a question on the discussion forum querying how to study an IIA qualification in a recession when your employer is cutting training costs.  A fellow member responded with some really helpful advice. Click here to access the discussion forum and maybe pick up some tips yourself. 

The IIA now recognises that there is more than one route to qualification.  We are offering individuals the opportunity to gain IIA qualifications through  Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) as well as offering CCAB-holders a fast-track route to gaining formal recognition for their specialist skills in internal audit. These individuals will gain the highly respected IIA Diploma in Internal Audit Practice and PIIA designation.  Click here for more information on either of these routes to qualification.
