Costs to obtain and maintain an ISACA certification vary based on membership status and personal preference for study materials and training selections. At the highest level, being certified involves passing an exam, applying for certification, and maintaining your certification. Each of these components has costs associated with them. Here is how they break out between those that are required and those that are optional:

Fee Structure

Exam Registration Fee

$575 for members and $760 for non-members

Note: If you are unable to take an exam during the 365-day eligibility period you will forfeit your exam fees.

Application Processing Fee

$50 for members and non-members

This is paid when you are ready to apply after passing the exam.

Annual Maintenance Fee

$45 for members and $85 for non-members

If you have a 3rd or 4th ISACA certification, the fee for those will be reduced. The first two certifications will remain at the $45/$85

Please see the chart below for details. Customers with:

1 or 2 certifications will see no price change

3 certifications will be billed at a new reduced price for each certification

4 or more certifications, the total cost is capped at $125 for members

4 or more certifications, the total cost is capped at $240 for non-members

Your first maintenance fee will be due by 1 January of the calendar year following when you became certified. For example, if you become certified anytime during 2018, your first maintenance fee will be due 1 January 2019, which will renew your certification for the entire year of 2019.
