What £146 covers

£146 + VAT for the official PECB eLearning, £175.20 including VAT. That covers everything you need to get certified: the pre-recorded video lessons by PECB Certified Trainers, the official PECB exam voucher and two exam attempts are included.

  • Official PECB ISO/IEC 27001 Foundation eLearning: 13 sections of pre-recorded video lessons by PECB Certified Trainers
  • 200+ pages of course material, with examples, exercises and quizzes
  • The PECB exam voucher, remotely proctored at a time you choose
  • Two exam attempts: your first sitting, plus a free resit within 12 months
  • The certification fee
  • 12 months of access to the course, and 14 CPD credits on completion

You are charged in pounds: £146 plus 20% UK VAT, which is £175.20 in total. UK businesses that enter a valid VAT number at checkout are not charged VAT. There is no separate exam or certification invoice later.

Does the price include the PECB exam?

Yes. Many UK courses quote tuition and then charge the exam separately. Here the voucher is part of the £146, along with remote proctoring and the certification fee, so there is no exam fee to pay later.

How many exam attempts are included?

Two. You sit the exam when you are ready, and if you do not pass first time you can resit free within 12 months. You do not need to buy a second voucher.

Are there any additional fees?

None beyond UK VAT: £146 + VAT (£175.20 including VAT) is the whole cost, and PECB charges no maintenance fee on Foundation certificates.

How long does it take?

About 14 hours of self-paced study, the eLearning equivalent of a two day classroom course. Your access lasts 12 months.

The exam

One hour, closed book, 40 multiple choice questions, and 70% to pass. It is remotely proctored, so you sit it from home or the office at a date and time you choose. The two domains are:

  • Fundamental principles and concepts of an ISMS
  • Information security management system (ISMS)

The quizzes at the end of each section mirror the exam format, so they are the best preparation you have.

Who it is for

Is this you?

  • People new to ISO 27001 or information security management
  • Team members and stakeholders supporting an ISMS implementation
  • Professionals moving into information security roles
  • Anyone planning to go on to Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor

Where it fits in the UK

Why UK teams start here

ISO 27001 is the certification UK buyers most often require in supplier assurance, so the people around an ISMS need a shared baseline: project team members, stakeholders, and people moving into information security roles. The work often runs alongside UK GDPR obligations overseen by the ICO, Cyber Essentials and the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework. This course certifies you, not your organisation. Certifying an organisation is a separate engagement with an accredited certification body (in the UK, typically one accredited by UKAS).

Frequently asked questions

Does the price include the PECB exam?

Yes. £146 covers the official PECB eLearning, the exam voucher, remote proctoring and the certification fee. There are no separate exam fees.

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. PECB Self-Study is a different PECB format that gives access to the official PECB course materials, and PECB makes its video lessons available only in eLearning. £146 + VAT (£175.20 including VAT) is the price for this eLearning course, charged in pounds, and it includes the PECB exam voucher, two exam attempts, the certification fee and 12 months of access.

How many exam attempts are included?

Two. Your first sitting is included, and if you do not pass you can resit free within 12 months.

Are there any additional fees?

No. £146 + VAT is charged at checkout, in pounds, which is £175.20 including 20% UK VAT. PECB charges no maintenance fee on Foundation certificates.

How long does the course take?

About 14 hours, the eLearning equivalent of a two day classroom course, and you have 12 months of access.

What is the exam format?

A 1-hour, 40-question, closed-book multiple choice exam, delivered online with remote proctoring. You need 70% to pass, and you book it through myPECB at a date and time that suits you.

Do I need any experience before I enrol?

No. Foundation is designed for people new to ISO 27001, and it is the recommended starting point before Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor.

Should I take Foundation, Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor?

Foundation gives you a working understanding of ISO 27001, which suits team members and project stakeholders. Lead Implementer qualifies you to build and manage an ISMS, and Lead Auditor to audit one.

Why pay £146 when free ISO 27001 courses exist?

Free courses can teach the concepts, but they do not end in a PECB credential. £146 includes the official PECB eLearning, the exam voucher with two remote-proctored attempts, and the PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27001 Foundation credential when you pass.

Is the certification recognised in the UK?

Yes. PECB is an international certification body, and the credential is the same certificate wherever you sit the exam.

Can I sit the exam without the course?

No. PECB requires its official training course before the exam, so the course and the exam voucher are sold together.

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 your national standards body.

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 pounds and supported by email.
