The exams themself were very subjective, making it unnecessarily more difficult. When using the IIA study material, there were several questions that were simply wrong. Depending on what certifications you have and what your career goals are, will dictate its overall worth. For me - I didn’t need it and in my current role hasn’t change anything. In the future if I want to get into IA or anything with Risk, is where I’m hoping it adds some value.
