If you run a certification bootcamp, training course, or internal L&D programme — I can transform your content into an illustrated, story-driven learning experience. Here's what that looks like.
The CISA Picture Book covers all 5 exam domains. Here's what went into it.
Every concept follows a character — Alex Chen, a junior auditor — through real audit situations. The narrative creates context. Context creates retention.
81 illustrated scenes where the image encodes the concept. An audit risk model isn't a formula — it's a castle where Alex holds the only lantern while guards sleep and threats lurk in the fog.
179 practice questions in the exam's actual format, placed right after each concept. Plus "Top 10 Exam Traps" per domain — the specific wrong answers the test wants you to choose.
Each section follows the same learning sequence — designed for self-service, asynchronous learning.
Map the full journey before diving in.
Emotional buy-in before information.
Situation → tension → resolution → principle.
The image teaches, not decorates.
Sentence-based, not just acronym lists.
Retrieval while the concept is warm.
Named incidents with consequences.
Common wrong-answer patterns.
I use AI models to generate illustrations, draft stories, and structure content. Then I run multiple verification passes — structure alignment against the official TOC, 10-gram plagiarism analysis against the source text, quiz answer audits, and content accuracy reviews. The AI gives speed. The verification process gives trust.
The CISA Picture Book covers 370 sections, 369 illustrations, 192 quiz questions, and 398 mnemonics across all 5 domains. It's a companion to the official study material — not a replacement. The CISA Official Review Manual and QAE Database remain the gold standard for exam prep.
Each project is custom — we start with your syllabus or course outline, and I transform it into a visual learning experience using the same methodology behind the CISA Picture Book.
I'm building SteadyCert one certification at a time. If you'd like to explore what a Digital Picture Book could look like for your topic, I'd love to hear from you.
I'm building visual study guides for other certifications — PMP, CISSP, AWS, and more. Drop your email and I'll let you know when the next one launches.
No spam. Just a one-time heads-up when a new book drops.
