ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Foundation
2-day PECB Foundation course on the information security management system (ISO/IEC 27001:2022), online or on site, with exam and certificate (14 CPD).
In two days, get to grips with the fundamentals of an Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001:2022, covering ISMS policy, procedures, management commitment, internal audit and continual improvement. A solid entry point into information security, completed with an exam and the PECB Foundation Certificate.
While everyone is talking about AI governance, information security has long been the ticket to winning contracts: customers, supply-chain audits and growing NIS2 pressure increasingly demand proof, or you risk falling behind. In two days, this course brings your whole team to a shared ISMS baseline, so security can turn from a tiresome cost factor into a trust argument instead of a liability in your sales process. Build the foundation that lets you engage confidently in tenders instead of failing at the security questionnaire.

Why this price is worth it
- An official PECB Certificate Program with an internationally recognised completion certificate, not a training provider's in-house certificate.
- Exam and certification fees are included, plus one free retake, so you get two attempts.
- Your trainer is a Senior Lead Auditor and Senior Lead Implementer with industry practice, not someone reading slides. He builds AI management systems and audits them. Senior is PECB's senior tier, awarded only after documented field experience (1,000+ audit hours, at least seven years).
- Small groups and a personal enrolment with advice, instead of an anonymous checkout.
- Transparency: PECB charges an annual maintenance fee (AMF) to keep the personnel certification active, billed directly to the certificate holder. We tell you upfront, not in the fine print.
- Compare carefully: short courses with an in-house certificate are not a Lead Auditor under ISO/IEC 17024, and "free" courses often charge four-figure exam and certificate fees separately. Here, everything is included.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need prior knowledge?
- No. The course is designed as an entry point into information security and requires no prior knowledge.
- Is the exam included in the price?
- Yes. PECB's examination and certification fees are included; one free retake within 12 months is possible.
- Online or on site?
- Both. You can take the course as in-person or online-live training, as eLearning or self-study.
- Is this a personnel certification?
- No, the Foundation course is a certificate program (14 CPD), not an ISO/IEC 17024 personnel certification, but the ideal basis for the Lead Auditor path.
- Is the course funded? What about study leave?
- Honestly: we are not an AZAV-accredited provider, so a German employment-agency training voucher (Bildungsgutschein) is not available. However: for companies the course fees are generally tax-deductible as a business expense; in several German states the course can be recognised as statutory educational leave (Bildungsurlaub, apply in good time); and depending on the state there are continuing-education vouchers for employees. We are happy to clarify what applies in your case in a short call, no empty promises.
