Overview

Accelerated ISO training, ISO course and ISO certification

The ISO 27001 Lead Auditor course is a PECB (Professional Evaluation and Certification Board) official course. The three-day intensive course will help you develop the skills needed to audit an Information Security Management System (ISMS). You'll also be able to manage a team of auditors, by applying widely-recognised audit principles, procedures and techniques.

PECB is officially accredited under ISO 17024 from ANSI. They are the first personnel certification body to be accredited by a National Accreditation Authority.

  • Mastering audit techniques
  • Managing audit teams and audit program
  • Communicating with customers
  • Conflict resolution

As of March 2023, PECB have partnered with Credly to offer you the chance of earning a digital badge upon completing your certification.

In addition, you will also get one year free PECB membership (Professional Evaluation and Certification Board) – which usually costs around £250 and be able to apply for the following titles depending on your experience:

  • Certified ISO/IEC 27001 Provisional Auditor
  • Certified ISO/IEC 27001 Auditor
  • Certified ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor
  • Certified ISO/IEC 27001 Senior Lead Auditor
