If you want to take the CISP exam, start by ensuring you're eligible. Professionals typically need 4 years of dedicated IRA operational or technical experience to qualify for the CISP exam. However, IRA Academy's American Bankers Association (ABA) approval lowers the professional experience requirement to only 2 years. Check out the eligibility requirements page on the ABA's website for more details.
Fall 2023: To take the exam within the September 15–October 15 exam window, your application is due to the American Bankers Association by July 17, 2023.
For all exam dates and details, see the ABA's page here. Please note that the IRA Academy registration does not include the ABA fee to take the exam.
You will receive an Approval/Denial email from the ABA within two weeks after they receive your application, along with instructions for the exam site selection if you’re approved. In addition to remote testing available by request, review the list of Scantron test site cities the ABA offers.
In addition to daily study groups, a comprehensive review will be conducted Thursday afternoon to prepare those taking the exam, but everyone is welcome to attend.

IRA Academy is awesome. I have been working in IRAs for a long time and there are certain things I just have not been able to connect . JP delivers the information in such a comprehensive way.
I feel really prepared to take the CISP exam thanks to JP and my experience at IRA Academy.
The Entrust Group IRA Academy is an excellent program. I found it to be very structured and informative. The instructor was fantastic and presented the information well. You get a complete understanding of IRAs.
It is a worthwhile educational opportunity that I would totally recommend
