**Which learning support is included?**

Self-Study is independent learning from the official materials. eLearning, where listed, adds recorded instruction; neither standard bundle promises live tuition or unlimited one-to-one support. For the listed ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 courses, the separately quoted consultancy option is explained above. PECB manages examination and certification decisions.

Knowledge you can apply

## What you will work through.

- Explain what a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) is, and how ISO/IEC 27701:2025 works standalone or alongside an ISO 27001 ISMS.
- Describe the controller / processor distinction and where each set of controls applies.
- Recognise the PIMS-specific Annex A controls — Table A.1 for PII controllers, Table A.2 for PII processors and Table A.3 shared security, with Annex B as the matching implementation guidance.
- Be ready to progress to Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor on PIMS.

Inside the course

## The curriculum.

Modules describe the learning sequence. Day labels in the official curriculum do not mean scheduled live classes.

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:** 1 hour

- **Questions:** 40 multiple-choice questions worth 100 points in total, across 2 competency domains — the fundamental principles and concepts of the standard, and the management system requirements themselves. Each question has one correct answer and two distractors

- **Pass mark:** 70%

After completing the required training and passing the examination, apply to PECB for the relevant Foundation certificate; PECB validates the application before award. No professional experience required — Foundation is the entry-level PECB qualification.

**Before you enrol: prerequisites**

None — Foundation is the entry-level pathway and assumes no prior privacy or ISO experience.

From knowledge to a working decision

## A support supplier handles personal data

Draw the processing flow, identify organisational roles and record unanswered questions about access, retention and supplier responsibilities.

For a foundation route, explain the vocabulary, responsibilities and questions in plain language before attempting an implementation or audit conclusion.

Original optional study prompt, not an official PECB exam question, an additional included lab or evidence of professional experience. Use fictional information.

Make time for the learning

## Your course. Your study plan.

Turn the curriculum into a study plan: record your target dates, explain each topic in your own words and keep a list of questions to revisit. The downloadable sheet is pre-filled for this course and includes space for your notes. It is an optional Aegentra planning aid, not official PECB materials, an exam-question bank or evidence of professional experience. Use fictional examples, not confidential workplace information.

### 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](https://help.pecb.com/list-of-pecb-exams/)

**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](https://pecb.com/en/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](https://pecb.com/en/certification-rules-and-policies)

For permitted materials, exam conduct and accommodation requests, read [PECB’s exam rules](https://pecb.com/en/exam-rules-and-policies). 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.
