Why buy here
A reseller that behaves like an advisor
The certification is identical wherever you buy it. What differs is whether anyone helps you choose correctly, and whether the price you see is the price you pay.
Advice before a sale
Every enrolment starts with a 15-minute call. If Foundation is enough, we will say so rather than sell you the five-day course. If a different standard fits your goal better, we will point you there.
One price, nothing hidden
The exam voucher, one free retake, your first-year certification fee and twelve months of KATE access are all inside the listed price. No exam fee appearing at checkout, no renewal surprise in month thirteen.
Trainers who have been audited
Our instructors hold the credentials they teach and have sat on both sides of a certification audit. The case studies come from real implementations, not the slide pack.
Support past the exam
Certification is a three-year cycle. We track your renewal dates, remind you before maintenance is due, and stay reachable when the audit finally lands.

How it works
From “which one do I need?” to certified
Four steps, and we stay with you through all of them.
- 01
Pick your standard
Start from the certification your buyers, regulators or job listings actually name. We will tell you honestly if a different one serves you better.
- 02
Choose your level
Foundation to understand the standard, Lead Implementer to build the system, Lead Auditor to audit it. Most people need one, not all three.
- 03
Train your way
Self-paced through the KATE app, a live online cohort with a certified trainer, or a private in-house cohort built around your own scope.
- 04
Certify and stay certified
Exam voucher, one free retake and your first-year certification fee are in the price. We handle the PECB application paperwork with you.

Outcomes
What people do with the credential
Delegate feedback, anonymised at their request.
“We had failed a client's security questionnaire twice. Three months after the Lead Implementer course our ISMS was scoped, the risk treatment was defensible, and we passed stage 2 with two minor findings.”
“The in-house cohort was the difference. Our own risk register was the case study, so by day four the team had done the real work rather than a generic exercise.”
“I sat 42001 Lead Implementer because clients started asking about the AI Act. It is now the first thing on my proposals, and it has won work twice.”
FAQs
The questions we get asked every week
Still unsure which course fits? A 15-minute call usually settles it.
Ask us directlyPECB is a global certification body that provides training and certification against ISO standards. Its personnel certification schemes are accredited to ISO/IEC 17024, the international standard for bodies certifying people — which is what makes a PECB credential recognised by employers, auditors and certification bodies worldwide rather than being a private certificate of attendance.
No. Foundation is not a formal prerequisite for Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor. It exists for people who are new to the standard and want the vocabulary and clause structure before the deeper course. If you already work with the standard day to day, go straight to the Lead course — we will tell you plainly on the pre-enrolment call which is right for you.
The official PECB participant materials and case studies, the certification exam voucher, one free retake if you do not pass first time, your first-year certification application fee, the CPD credits, twelve months of KATE app access, and a 1:1 call before you enrol. There are no separate exam fees added later.
Lead Implementer is for building the management system: scope, risk assessment, control selection, documentation and getting the organisation ready for its certification audit. Lead Auditor is for assessing one: audit planning, evidence gathering, findings, nonconformity reports and audit programme management. Implementers build, auditors verify. Consultants often hold both.
Foundation exams are one hour and multiple choice. Lead-level exams are three hours, essay-type and open book — you may bring the standard and your own notes. Exams can be sat online with remote proctoring or on paper at the end of a classroom session. Results are typically issued within four to six weeks, and your certification is then issued once your application is approved.
One retake is included in every price on this site, at no additional cost. PECB allows retakes without repeating the training, and we will run a focused review session with you first to work out what went wrong.
Yes — that is the in-house format. The same accredited curriculum is delivered privately to your team, on site or remote, with the case studies rewritten around your own scope, risk register and audit programme. Pricing is per cohort rather than per seat, which is usually materially cheaper from around six delegates.
PECB credentials run on a three-year cycle with an annual maintenance fee, and you evidence continued professional development across that period. The first year's fee is included in every course price here. We will send you a reminder well before each renewal so a credential never lapses by accident.
