    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.

    This course is listed as Self-Study only. Learn from the official course materials at your own pace; recorded presenter videos and live classes are not included.

    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.

    PECB credential ladder: Provisional Implementer (no experience required) → Implementer (two years of professional experience, one in occupational health and safety, plus 200 hours of OH&S MS project activity) → Lead Implementer (five years, two in occupational health and safety, plus 300 hours) → Senior Lead Implementer (ten years, seven in occupational health and safety, plus 1,000 hours). All tiers require signing the PECB Code of Ethics. Accreditation is program- and scope-specific; verify the applicable credential before enrolment.

    Before you enrol: prerequisites
    • A basic knowledge of ISO management system standards, a general understanding of ISO 45001, and the management system implementation principles — PECB’s published prerequisite for this course.
    • Practical familiarity with workplace health and safety is helpful — the course teaches the management system, not WHS legislation.

    From knowledge to a working decision

    A contractor introduces a new work activity

    Identify affected workers, consultation needs, hazards and control responsibilities. Explain why a document review alone may not establish safe operation.

    For an implementation or practitioner route, record a decision, owner, evidence requirement and review trigger. Explain your assumptions and what remains outside the exercise.

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

    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
    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.
