Check the applicable experience, references and application requirements; do not assume a Lead title is awarded automatically.

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.

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. ## Choose the right course for your role. Tell us what you need to achieve, what is in scope and where you are starting.
