Where you are

You have applied to four hundred jobs. You have had one call.

Every posting wants two years of experience you were never allowed to get. You have three hours left in the evening after work, and you have spent them wondering whether thirty six is too late to start something new.

It isn’t too late. You’ve just been sold the wrong way in.

The work

You check whether a company’s systems do what the company says they do.

Who has access to the payroll system? Did the backups actually run last night? Was that Friday code change properly approved, or did someone just push it live?

You test the controls, document the evidence, and tell leadership what needs fixing.

IT audit is investigative work with a technical layer on top. Career changers pick it up in weeks. People from teaching, healthcare, retail and accounting often beat engineers at the hardest part of the job, which is knowing what to ask.

Why this field

Is it actually worth pivoting into?

Low barrier, high demand

You don’t need to code and you don’t need a computer science degree. If you understand how a process works, ask good questions, and notice when something doesn’t add up, you already have the foundation.

IT audit sits inside the security and compliance field, where information security analyst roles are projected to grow 21% between 2025 and 2035, against 3% across all occupations. US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook

The work is required by law

Public companies, banks, and healthcare organizations are required to maintain and test controls over their systems. Sarbanes-Oxley covers financial reporting, the HIPAA Security Rule covers patient data, the GLBA Safeguards Rule covers financial institutions. That testing happens whether the business is hiring or cutting.

The question everyone asks

Will AI take this job?

Partly. The World Economic Forum’s 2025 jobs report lists accountants and auditors among the roles it expects to shrink, and the part it’s talking about is the repetitive checklist work.

The other half of the picture is that ISACA, the body that certifies auditors, launched a whole new AI audit certification in 2025 because organizations are adopting AI faster than anyone can govern it. Someone has to test those systems. That work is new, and it’s audit work.

The clerical end of auditing is exposed. The technical end is where the field is moving, and that’s what this class teaches.

WEF Future of Jobs 2025. ISACA AAIA launch, May 2025.

What else you could do

Four other ways in, and what they cost.

Study for the CISA on your own.

The exam is $575 for ISACA members and $760 if you aren’t one. Real credential, and the right move eventually. But it asks for five years of experience before it certifies you, and it doesn’t teach you how to do the work or how to get hired.

A $30 course you watch alone.

The content is fine. Almost nobody finishes one. If self-paced worked for you, you would already be an IT auditor.

A $4,500 to $10,000 bootcamp.

Longer, far more expensive, and mostly aimed at people who already work in tech.

Keep applying cold.

You already know how that goes.

This is $1,500 and three weeks of evenings.

The format

Six sessions. Two hours each. Everyone live in the room.

It all happens live, over three weeks.

01

Thursday and Friday evenings

7:00 to 9:00pm Central, every Thursday and Friday for three weeks. It’s built to fit around a full time job.

02

On Google Meet, not a recording

Cameras on, questions out loud, and the instructor answers yours on the spot.

03

The last session is the job search

Your resume rewritten for IT audit, the interview answers, and a plan for the weeks after class ends. You leave with a plan for your next step, and the mentorship keeps going after the last session.

Questions, answered

Asked by everyone who ends up enrolling.

Yes, and that’s exactly who it was built for. Classes run at 7pm, and there are six sessions, not sixty. Two hours an evening, twice most weeks, for three weeks. If you can watch a movie after work, you can do this.

You don’t. IT audit means checking whether systems follow the security rules a company wrote down, like making sure people who leave lose their access and that changes get approved before they ship. If you have basic computer literacy and can read a checklist, we teach you the rest. You’re also far from alone in not having the degree. ISACA even takes two years off the CISA experience requirement for a bachelor’s degree in any field at all. Accounting, English, biology. This profession has never required a computer science degree.

Enough to walk into an interview and hold your own. You’ll know what IT general controls are, how an audit is planned and executed, how to talk about risk, and how to answer the questions you’ll actually be asked. Three weeks gets you interview ready. Director comes later.

The support keeps going after the class ends. Your $1,500 covers more than the six sessions: a full resume review, interview preparation before you go in, and a debrief afterward so the next one goes better. Once you’re on the job, you still have someone to call when you run into something you haven’t seen before. And the career coaching never expires.

They do. Entry level IT audit is one of the few technical doors that opens without a technical resume, because the work is method and judgment sitting on top of technology. Our last session is built specifically to help you make that case, in your words, about your own background. After that we rewrite your resume together, prepare you for the interview, and go over how it went afterward so you get sharper every time.

Everything is out in the open before you pay a cent: the full syllabus is on this page, the dates and times are published, and payment runs through Wave, so no card details are ever stored on this site. You’ll also notice we never promise you a job, because nobody honest can. What you get is six live sessions, a resume review, interview prep and debriefs, and a mentor you can still call once you’re on the job.

You can split the $1,500 into two payments of $750 or three payments of $500. Your first payment reserves your seat, and the balance is paid in full by October 24.

Life happens. Let us know before it does and we’ll make sure you get what you missed. The class is built around being in the room, and the people who attend all six get the most out of it.

What past students say

People who were where you are now

Hear from a few of our former students.

★★★★★
“Before taking the IT Audit MasterClass, I was already working as an IT Auditor but lacked the confidence of what I was doing and did not have the audacity to ask for more responsibilities. After the class, and within about 5 months, the confidence and the audacity to accept more responsibilities emerged which helped me to be promoted to Manager. I therefore recommend this class to anyone looking to pursue a career in cybersecurity, specifically IT audit.”
Chris A. · Works at a Big 4 accounting firm
★★★★★
“Before taking the class, I had no knowledge or understanding of IT Audit. At the time, I was working as an insurance agent, so IT Audit was completely new to me. The class gave me the foundation and knowledge I needed to understand the field and ultimately pursue a career in IT Audit. Nii is an exceptional instructor who ensures that his students fully understand the material and is always available to provide support.”
Helen M. · Works at a large bank
★★★★★
“Before the masterclass, I was interested in IT Audit but didn’t fully understand the concepts or what the career really involved. The class broke everything down in a practical way and helped me understand the different areas of IT Audit, controls, risks, and how the concepts apply in real work. I now have a much clearer picture of the career and feel more confident pursuing it. If you’re hesitating, I’d say go for it, you’ll learn a lot and gain some real direction.”
Felicia B. · IT Analyst at a healthcare organization
★★★★★
“I was already in compliance but it strengthened my knowledge in the audit field. It’s a very practical course and makes you understand that the field is not like rocket science.”
Magda O. · Senior IT Auditor at a global utilities corporation
