Master the implementation and management of an information security management system aligned with ISO/IEC 27001, from risk assessment and ISMS scoping through control implementation and continual improvement. One certification, three ways to earn it: study the official materials on your own schedule, add guided video to them, or attend five fixed days live-online with a PECB Platinum Trainer. The PECB certification exam and the certificate are included in every option.

ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It provides a structured framework for identifying information security risks and putting the right controls in place to manage them. It has become the default reference point customers, regulators, and business partners expect when they ask an organization to prove it takes information security seriously, and it underpins compliance obligations across a wide range of other frameworks, including NIS2 and DORA.
Organizations building or maturing an ISMS need people who can do more than quote the standard’s clauses. They need someone who can actually implement it. This course builds that competency directly: you learn how to scope an ISMS, run risk assessments, select and implement controls, and prepare an organization for third-party certification audit. These are the same practical skills employers and certification bodies expect from an ISO/IEC 27001 implementer.
All three formats cover the identical PECB curriculum and lead to the identical exam and credential. The difference is how the material reaches you and how much of your calendar it claims.

Choose live-online when you have an ISMS to build and want a trainer to answer the questions your own organization raises. Choose a self-paced format when the certification matters and the five consecutive days do not fit.
Every format leads to the same exam: the PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Implementer exam. What differs is which credential you can apply for afterward, based on your prior professional experience. There’s no separate exam or extra study required for a higher tier. It’s the same certification, recognized at a level that matches your background.
| Credential | Experience required | ISMS project experience |
|---|---|---|
| Provisional Implementer | None | None |
| Implementer | 2 years (1 in information security mgmt) | 200+ hours |
| Lead Implementer | 5 years (2 in information security mgmt) | 300+ hours |
| Senior Lead Implementer | 10 years (7 in information security mgmt) | 1,000+ hours |
New to the field? You’ll qualify for Provisional Implementer immediately after passing, a fully valid PECB credential, and can apply for a higher tier later as your experience grows, without retaking the course.
