Very helpful and thorough course in the fundamentals of auditing.

(Senior Auditor)
Gives a nice overview of what the planning of an audit is, would not consider it very detailed, but it is basic for entry level staff and as a review to senior staff, helpful to remember small things that could be forgotten in the hype of performing fieldwork, very good.

Instructor does a great job keeping the presentation engaging and interesting. Adds examples, not just a dry run through auditing concepts. The study guide is also much more informative than many of the slide decks used in other presentations.

Instructor is engaging and covered many considerations an auditor must cover before engaging with a potential client. The study guide could be more informative, but the instructor is great with communicating examples.

This is a good course with a lot of information. The videos do not necessarily prepare you for the exam, though.
