After full and careful review, ISACA made the strategic decision to discontinue the following, effective 6 January 2026.
- Certified in Emerging Technology (CET)
- Information Technology Certified Associate (ITCA)
- Computing Fundamentals certificate
- Networks & Infrastructure Fundamentals certificate
- Software Development Fundamentals certificate
What’s next:
- Those who hold the CET or ITCA certification will be notified that they can still maintain their certification(s) with continuing professional education (CPE) credits.
- Last day to purchase courses, labs, and/or exams: 6 January 2026
- If candidates have questions or need assistance, please direct them to ISACA Support.
No changes: ISACA remains committedto delivering foundational and entry-level training and credentialing associated with our core domains and focus areas. The following will continue to be offered:
- Cybersecurity Fundamentals
- Artificial Intelligence Fundamentals
- IT Audit Fundamentals
- IT Risk Fundamentals
- Data Science Fundamentals
- Cloud Computing Fundamentals
- Blockchain Fundamentals

Why this is happening: A changing learning landscape, refined strategies to align programs with the evolving needs of ISACA’s community, and reallocation of resources to provide more impactful training and credentialing.
