Certifications are a necessary part of developing your professional career. Without them, you risk being held back in your career earning potential, and promotion possibilities.

Then why do traditional certifications use barriers and tricks like educational requirements, years of experience, and exams where 50-60% of people fail each time? Because those traditional organizations continue to believe in a discriminatory, archaic, and broken model of certifying people.

Today's job market is much different than it was 100 or 50 years ago, and you deserve a better path to relevant, modern certifications.

Certifications are even more important to your career now ... and the certification process needs to change with the times.

While many use traditional certifications as a way to limit the number of people who are certified, we believe the more people with modern certifications provides more value to the profession, you, and to your organizations.

Wouldn't you rather earn a modern certification in 1 to 2 weeks, instead of 1 to 2+ years with traditional certifications?

Wouldn't you rather avoid failing exams over and over, or wasting hundreds of hours studying away from your family and friends?

In this certification course, you will learn how to apply the 4 Agile Audit Values and 12 Agile Audit Principles to transform your department into a high-performing team capable of auditing at the speed of risk. Toby DeRoche will guide you through the concepts of a blended solution merging internal auditing with agile delivery in a practical approach that you can use immediately.

Learn the concepts and process behind using a practical, objective-centric, risk-based internal audit approach that you can start applying today. You receive the step-by-step process for how to implement a risk-based internal audit approach at your organization using the Risk-Based Internal Audit Model™ ... and earn the trust and support of management and your board of directors. What most internal auditors are missing is a deeper understanding of risk management, and a model to apply. You get both in this certification course.

It is a simple concept, that starts with one idea: Internal Audit should complement their traditional, required activities with an active role in the organization culture itself. It is all about being a proactive audit function, not a reactive one.

Certifications prove individuals have basic knowledge, skills and competencies in particular topical areas proven by passing an exam.

The problem is many use traditional certifications as a way to limit the number of people with the certification. They assume the tougher it is to become certified, the more valuable the certification is to those who already have it. That is just not true.

Traditional certifications use techniques such as formal educational requirements (degrees, etc...), years of experience, and curved exams (only ~40% of people can pass each time) to limit the number of certified professionals. Traditional certifications take years to complete, and tens of thousands of dollars in preparation materials, applications, testing fees and study time ... and that doesn't even cover the anxiety and shame you feel by failing the tricky exams multiple times.

Traditional certifications are developed through committees, over a period of many years. They cannot keep pace with our ever increasingly changing, modern world. Saddest still, much of the content taught through the traditional certification process is now antiquated, wrong and doesn't help you do your job better.

You deserve better.

People who understand the material, have passed the exam, and maintain continuing professional education (CPE) credits should be able to get certified, right?

Certifications should teach lasting principles, not techniques and detailed practices that become obsolete shortly after development, right?

The more people that become certified, the more we help the profession and add more value to our organizations, right?

Boards and management are expecting internal audit functions to be more strategic, agile, and proactive. Traditional certifications don't help you do that.

Have you fully considered what it will cost you if you don't become more strategic, agile, and proactive?
