What £449 covers

£449 total. That is the whole cost of getting certified: the official PECB exam voucher and two exam attempts are included, and there is nothing further to pay at checkout.

  • Official PECB ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor eLearning, 23 sections
  • 450+ pages of course material, exercises and correction keys
  • The PECB exam voucher, remotely proctored at a time you choose
  • Two exam attempts: your first sitting, plus a free resit within 12 months
  • Certification fees, and the first year of PECB credential maintenance
  • 12 months of access to the course, and 31 CPD credits on completion

You are charged £449 in pounds. Nothing is added at checkout, and 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 £449, along with remote proctoring and the certification fee, so the number you see is the number you pay.

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 from us. The only ongoing cost is PECB's own Annual Maintenance Fee of USD 120, which keeps your credential active, and your first year of it is already included. From year two you pay that to PECB directly. Foundation and Provisional level certificates carry no maintenance fee at all.

How long does it take?

Around 30 to 40 hours of study, which most people spread across two to four weeks. It is the eLearning equivalent of a five day classroom course, without taking a week out of your calendar, and your access lasts 12 months.

The exam

Three hours, open book, 80 multiple choice and scenario 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 seven domains are:

  • Fundamental principles and concepts of an ISMS
  • Information security management system (ISMS)
  • Fundamental audit concepts and principles
  • Preparation of an ISO/IEC 27001 audit
  • Conducting an ISO/IEC 27001 audit
  • Closing an ISO/IEC 27001 audit
  • Managing an ISO/IEC 27001 audit programme

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?

  • Auditors who want to perform and lead ISMS certification audits
  • Consultants advising clients through ISO 27001 certification
  • Security and compliance managers who own an ISMS
  • Technical specialists preparing to be audited

Where it fits in the UK

Why UK organisations ask for it

ISO 27001 is the certification UK buyers most often require in supplier assurance, and ISMS audit work sits alongside UK GDPR obligations overseen by the ICO, the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework, and Cyber Essentials. This course certifies you as an auditor. 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. £449 covers the official PECB eLearning, the exam voucher, remote proctoring, and the certification fee. There is no separate exam charge to pay later.

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?

Not from us. £449 is the total charged at checkout, in pounds, and nothing is added on top. The one ongoing cost is PECB's own Annual Maintenance Fee of USD 120, 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 remotely proctored, so you sit it from home or the office at a date and time you choose within your 12 months of access.

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. UK 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 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.
