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 42001 Lead Implementer eLearning, 26 sections
  • 400+ pages of course material, with worked AI policy and control examples
  • 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 and examination fees, and the first year of 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?

The course is designed for around 30 to 40 hours of study. Most people finish within four to eight weeks alongside a day job, and your myPECB access and exam voucher both last 12 months.

The exam

Three hours, open book, remotely proctored, booked through myPECB at a time you choose. The six domains are:

  • Fundamental principles and concepts of an AIMS
  • Artificial intelligence management system requirements
  • Planning an AIMS implementation based on ISO/IEC 42001
  • Implementing an AIMS based on ISO/IEC 42001
  • Monitoring and measurement of an AIMS based on ISO/IEC 42001
  • Continual improvement and preparing for an AIMS certification audit

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?

  • Professionals overseeing AI projects and AI governance
  • Consultants advising on AI implementation and assurance
  • Risk, compliance and security leads asked to govern AI
  • Executives and managers aligning an AI programme to ISO/IEC 42001

Where it fits in the UK

Why UK organisations ask for it

UK boards and buyers are asking how AI is governed, and ISO/IEC 42001 is the international standard that answers it with a certifiable management system. The UK regulates AI through existing regulators rather than one AI act, so the ICO and sector bodies each ask their own questions, and firms selling into the EU also face the EU AI Act. Building the system once covers all of them. This course certifies you as the implementer; the organisation is certified separately by an accredited certification body.

Frequently asked questions

Does the price include the PECB exam?

Yes. £449 covers the official PECB eLearning, the exam voucher, two remote-proctored attempts, and the certification fee. There are no separate exam or certification fees.

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?

Around 30 to 40 hours of study. Most people finish within four to eight weeks alongside their day job, and you have 12 months of portal access.

What is the exam format?

A 3-hour, open-book, remote-proctored exam covering six domains, booked through myPECB at a date and time you choose within your 12 months of access.

Do I get practical examples for AI policies and controls?

Yes. Each module includes worked examples for AI policy statements, risk registers, Annex A control mappings and governance playbooks, so you can mirror them in your own rollout.

Should I take Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor?

Lead Implementer if you are building the AI management system, Lead Auditor if you are assessing one. They are the same price here, and both include the exam voucher and two attempts.

Do I need a technical AI background?

No. The course is aimed at governance, risk, security and compliance professionals who oversee AI programmes. Technical examples are explained in business language.

Is a copy of the ISO 42001 standard included?

No, and you do not need it to complete the course or pass the exam. ISO/IEC 42001 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.
