    Purchase and billing details

    Base prices exclude VAT; the UK total adds 20% VAT. Outside the UK? Request a written quote confirming applicable tax and your total before payment. Payment currency does not determine tax.

    UK prices are fixed in GBP. Other currencies use a current exchange quote; your selected currency is charged at checkout.

    This does not remove remedies for faulty or misdescribed content, rights relating to examination services, or the 10-day Labs money-back guarantee.

    Examination services are separate from digital-content access. Accepting early digital access does not waive service cancellation rights. Any request to start an examination service during the cancellation period is handled separately.

    PECB courses have no additional voluntary cancellation refund. This does not remove statutory rights. Labs has the separate 10-day guarantee.

    You need your email account, an internet connection and compatible equipment; check the course and PECB examination requirements before paying.

    Prefer to start after the cancellation period? Arrange a later start with the Academy before payment.

    You can review and correct this order before continuing. Stripe handles card details; we do not receive your full card number. Checkout and purchase information are in English. Save the terms.

    • Two hours of one-to-one online consultancy training: learn how to implement ISO 27001 through practical examples and questions.

    Two hours of one-to-one online training with an Aegentra consultant, focused on how to apply ISO 27001 in an organisation. Bring a practical question and work through the decisions, documents and evidence behind implementation.

    What we can work through

    • Define an ISMS scope around what the organisation sells, its systems and customer requirements.
    • Work through a risk, a treatment decision and how to explain the selected controls.
    • Connect responsibilities, operating records and audit evidence in a practical implementation example.

We confirm the total fee, Labs access duration and activation, your starting level, learning focus, consultant and session timing before booking. The Self-Study and eLearning prices above are for the standard course bundles, not this consultancy package.

    This is practical Aegentra guidance, not a full instructor-led PECB course, a completed organisational implementation, an internal audit or a guarantee of certification. Use fictional or anonymised examples; do not share confidential client information.

    Which learning support is included?

For the listed ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 courses, the separately quoted consultancy option is explained above. PECB manages examination and certification decisions.

    What you will
    work through.

    • Understand the information you need to protect
    • Understand how an ISMS is organised
    • Connect risk decisions to controls
    • Understand operation, review and improvement

    The exam and credential

    Know what
    you are preparing for.

    Credential eligibility and the certification decision are assessed by PECB. Training does not certify your organisation.

    Format
    Multiple-choice
    Duration
    60 minutes
    Questions
    40 multiple-choice questions worth 100 points in total, split evenly across 2 competency domains — fundamental principles and concepts of an ISMS (20 questions, 50 points) and the information security management system itself (20 questions, 50 points). Each question has one correct answer and two distractors. Confirmed against the PECB candidate handbook

    After passing, you may apply for the PECB Certificate Holder in ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Foundation designation. PECB validates the application before issuing the certificate. This is a certificate program rather than a personnel-certification ladder, so no professional experience is required. Accreditation is program-specific; verify the exact current ANAB directory scope.

    Before you enrol: prerequisites
    • Course enrolment prerequisite: none.
    • Formal education: no formal education requirement is listed in the current 2026 English candidate handbook.
    • Professional, audit and ISMS project experience: none required for the Foundation certificate.
    • After passing, submit the certificate application and sign the PECB Code of Ethics; PECB validates the application.

    Before you book the exam.

    Check your exact exam

    Confirm the course, exam language, duration and permitted materials against PECB’s current exam listing and rules. Similar titles from different training providers can lead to different qualifications.

    PECB exam listing
    Prepare your exam environment

    Before booking, check the latest online-exam manual for identification, equipment, connectivity and room requirements. Ask PECB about reasonable accommodations early if you need them.

    PECB online-exam manual
    Plan the credential application

    Passing the exam and being awarded a particular credential are separate steps. Check the applicable experience, references and application requirements; do not assume a Lead title is awarded automatically.

    PECB certification requirements

    For permitted materials, exam conduct and accommodation requests, read PECB’s exam rules. Requirements can change; check the current rules for your exact exam.

    Your questions

    Before you choose.

    Is the official PECB exam included?

    Yes. Each listed bundle includes the official examination voucher: an initial attempt and one free retake if needed. Complete the exam, included retake and application within 12 months of purchase. The first retake requires at least 15 days after an unsuccessful attempt. PECB reviews eligibility before awarding a credential; buying a bundle does not guarantee certification.

    What is the difference between Self-Study and eLearning?

    Self-Study provides official slides for independent study. eLearning adds recorded PECB video lectures. Only the formats shown above are offered for this course.

    Does this include a certification fee?

    The bundle includes the application fee and first-year maintenance where applicable. Foundation certificates have no annual maintenance fee. Credential eligibility and ongoing requirements vary; PECB makes the award decision.

    Can I purchase online?

    Choose your course and learning format, review the total in your selected currency and pay securely through Stripe. PECB access is arranged within 24 hours after payment confirmation. Optional Labs access is activated for the matching course after confirmation.

    How does this PECB bundle compare with other UK training offers?

    Compare the exact awarding body and credential, curriculum, delivery format, exam inclusion, retake conditions, access period and eligibility. Similar course titles do not establish equivalence to another provider or scheme. These are PECB bundles; no CQI and IRCA, IAPP, EC-Council or Linux Foundation credential is implied.

    Does 12-month access mean 12 months of teaching?

    No. It is the material-access period, not a scheduled course duration or a promise of unlimited instructor support. The listed bundles are self-paced. Curriculum day labels describe a learning sequence; they are not booked live classroom dates.

    Which standard edition or syllabus should I check?

    Confirm the exact course edition and current PECB syllabus before enrolment, especially where a standard is being revised. Publication of a newer standard does not automatically update a training bundle or include a transition course. Confirm the course edition with the Academy before payment.
