went through the undergrad series, but they help you out quite a bit with employment.

I passed the CIA exam on my own while studying at night after work. I had auditing experience in my job as a cost accountant in the wood and paper mill industry. I thought the exam was very challenging, but through hard work I passed it. I used the gleim CIA review books. I was also exempt from one part because I had obtained a CPA license. I enjoyed acheiving this designation. I am currently trying to get into the field of internal auditing as a full time career, but there are not a lot of opportunities in louisiana at this time...

I'm sure the class would be good, but if you are solely wanting to pass the CIA exam, I would get the Gleim manuals. They aren't too expensive and explain everything in great detail.
