What our graduates say
Abdallah YousefERP Manager — Maarif for Education · translated from ArabicI joined the CISA course with Sarh to work more closely with the audit team. The course length was right and the instructor was very supportive — my university background is accounting, yet he made the IT technical details easy for us, and helped with applying for the exam. Thankfully I sat the exam three months after the course ended and scored 690/800.
Mahmoud ThiabTechnical IT Auditor · translated from ArabicMy experience with the CISA course at Sarh was outstanding by every measure!
