Where it fits in New Zealand
Why New Zealand organisations ask for it
In New Zealand, ISO 27001 certification audits are carried out by certification bodies accredited through JAS-ANZ, the joint accreditation system of Australia and New Zealand, and the standard sits alongside the NZISM, the Protective Security Requirements and the Privacy Act 2020 in how organisations show they manage information security. Lead Auditor teaches you to plan and run those audits, as an internal auditor or on a certification body's audit team.

Frequently asked questions
Does the price include the PECB exam?
Yes. NZ$863 covers the official PECB eLearning, the exam voucher, remote proctoring, and the certification fee. There is no separate exam charge to pay later.
Is this course PECB eLearning or PECB Self-Study?
It is PECB eLearning, which PECB delivers through PECB Certified Trainers in pre-recorded video format, with quizzes and the official course materials on myPECB, and it earns 31 CPD credits on completion. PECB Self-Study is a different PECB format: the official course materials without the recorded lessons, which PECB describes as suitable for people with considerable knowledge of the subject who do not require assisted lecturing, and it earns 16 CPD credits for a course of the same length. PECB makes its video lessons available only in eLearning. NZ$863 is the price for this eLearning course, charged in New Zealand dollars, and it includes the PECB exam voucher, two exam attempts, the certification fee, the first year of PECB certification maintenance and 12 months of access. What PECB eLearning and Self-Study each include.
How many exam attempts are included?
Two. Your first sitting is included, and if you do not pass, your second attempt within 12 months is included too.
Are there any additional fees?
Not from us. NZ$863 is charged at checkout, in New Zealand dollars. The one ongoing cost is PECB's own Annual Maintenance Fee, which the PECB Certification Maintenance Policy sets at USD 390 per certificate for each three-year cycle and which keeps the credential active. Your first year is already included in the course price, so that fee starts in year two and is paid to PECB directly.
How long does the course take?
Most people finish in 30 to 40 hours of study, spread over two to four weeks. It is the eLearning equivalent of a five day classroom course, and you get 12 months of access, so you can go faster or slower.
What is the exam format?
Three hours, open book, 80 multiple choice and scenario questions, with 70% to pass. It is remote-proctored: you choose one of the scheduled online exam sessions in myPECB within your 12 months of access, and sit it from home or the office.
Is the certification recognised in New Zealand?
Yes. PECB is an international certification body and the credential is the same certificate wherever you sit the exam. New Zealand employers and procurement teams recognise ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor as the audit credential for the standard.
Do I need audit experience before I enrol?
No. You can sit the exam without it. Experience matters afterwards, when you apply for a credential level: Provisional Auditor needs none, and Auditor and Lead Auditor add work experience and audit hours on the same exam result.
Is a copy of the ISO 27001 standard included?
No, and you do not need it to complete the course or pass the exam. ISO/IEC 27001 is a licensed document, so if you want your own copy you buy it from iso.org or Standards New Zealand.
Who am I buying from?
Mindset Cyber, an authorised PECB training partner based in Australia. The course, the materials and the exam are PECB’s own and are identical wherever you enrol. You are charged in New Zealand dollars and supported by email.
