The train ride lasts 1 1/2 hours, with a 30-minute walk to work. Work gets done at 4:30, with a 30-minute walk to the train. The train ride is an hour and ten minutes home. Eat dinner at 6:15, and then study the rest of the night until around 10:00 p.m. I still need to sleep.” I bet you do. Okay, so you wake up at 5:00, you catch a 6:00 a.m. train. And in the morning, the train ride last 1 1/2 hours. Let's be realistic, you're not going to study the entire 1 1/2 hours. You're gonna check your Facebook, whatever. But you can get an hour in the morning. And

Sony says, “I'm a Ninja student, who has now passed all four sections in the process of obtaining my license. I am short 30 credits to the 150-hour rule, and I was wondering if you know how, how I can use my recently completed CIA exam qualification towards obtaining this remaining 30 credits. Please help, and if you have any idea around this, thanks in advance.” My guess is that, if you're 30 credits short, your CIA stuff isn't going to help you much, because while some of the other certifications are pretty friendly, like, if you pass the CPA exam, then you're exempt from, you know, XYZ certification, exam number one, you can jump ahead to number two, but the CPA exam doesn't work like that, they don't say, “Oh, you're a CIA, you can forgo the Internal Auditing section of Auditing.” Doesn't work that way.
