Inside the course ## The curriculum. Modules describe the learning sequence. Day labels in the official curriculum do not mean scheduled live classes. **Day 1 — NIST standards, principles, and cybersecurity context** Frameworks and standards for information security and cybersecurity Introduction to NIST and its role in cybersecurity The organisation and its context Roles, responsibilities, and authorities Cybersecurity policy **Day 2 — Risk management and supply chain risk** Risk management strategy Supply chain risk management Asset management Risk assessment and improvement **Day 3 — Security controls, awareness, and continuous monitoring** Security control selection Awareness and training Security measures Security continuous monitoring **Day 4 — Cybersecurity incident management** Incident management and analysis Incident response, mitigation, and reporting Incident recovery and lessons learned **Day 5 — Certification exam** PECB Certified NIST Cybersecurity Lead Implementer exam 3 hours, five competency domains 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 and scenario-based - **Duration:** 3 hours - **Questions:** 80 multiple-choice questions in the current English examination record, across five competency domains — fundamental principles and concepts of cybersecurity; planning an organisational cybersecurity strategy; assessing and advising on cybersecurity programs and security controls; cybersecurity incident management; and cybersecurity incident response - **Pass mark:** 70% After passing, apply to PECB for the supported NIST Cybersecurity Implementer tier. The current course page lists Provisional Implementer (no experience threshold), Implementer (two years, including one in cybersecurity, and 200 hours), Lead Implementer (five years, including two in cybersecurity, and 300 hours), and Senior Lead Implementer (ten years, including seven in cybersecurity, and 1,000 hours). PECB assesses the application, experience and Code of Ethics requirements; a pass alone does not award a tier. **Before you enrol: prerequisites** Before attending, understand cybersecurity principles and frameworks. Credential experience and activity-hour requirements are separate from the training prerequisite. From knowledge to a working decision ## A recovery dashboard looks healthy Define the critical service, compare the current evidence with a target recovery outcome and prioritise a test with an owner and acceptance criteria. 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.

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