/ Before you enrol

Clear answers about price, tax, exams, and certification.

These answers use this course's current catalogue record and PECB's published exam, certification, and maintenance policies.

What is included in the Certified Cyber Threat Analyst course fee?

The published price is A$1,165 for Self-Study, before tax. It includes the official PECB course materials, the first exam attempt, one free retake, and the certification application fee. This course publishes 12 months of material access. Course-material access, examination and retake deadlines, and any certificate-application deadline are separate. Confirm the material-access start date in your booking confirmation and check the deadlines recorded in myPECB before scheduling your examination. PECB’s partner-course policy sets a 12-month examination and included-retake cycle from purchase for Self-Study and eLearning, or from course completion for instructor-led training. A failed attempt does not restart that cycle. The first retake requires at least 15 days after the unsuccessful examination; booking rules and the recorded myPECB deadline also apply. PECB’s partner-course policy also includes the first year of the Annual Maintenance Fee where maintenance applies; Foundation and Provisional credentials are maintenance-exempt. There is no separate first-exam or certification-application charge after enrolment.

What will PECB charge to maintain the Certified Cyber Threat Analyst credential?

PECB’s maintenance policy exempts Foundation, Provisional and Transition credentials. Other credentials have tier-specific CPD requirements and maintenance fees. Confirm the applicable amount and currency directly with PECB before renewal; its public fee table uses an unqualified dollar symbol, which must not be read as an Australian-dollar quote. Course-completion CPD credits and ongoing credential maintenance are separate requirements.

Can I pay in NZD or another currency, and when is Australian GST added?

Yes. Every Academy course supports AUD and multiple local currencies, including NZD, USD, SGD, GBP, EUR, INR, AED, MYR, PHP, IDR, and VND when a live quote is available. Currency and tax are separate: an Australian billing address adds 10% GST, while a non-Australian billing address has no Australian GST. For example, an Australian working in New Zealand may pay in NZD and use an Australian billing address, but 10% GST will still be added because the billing address is Australian.

What is the difference between Self-Study and eLearning for Certified Cyber Threat Analyst?

The currently published self-paced option is Self-Study at A$1,165 before tax, using the official PECB slide-based materials. A separate recorded eLearning price is not currently published for this course. The official exam package is still included. Check this course page for any separately published private live online option; an enquiry does not confirm availability.

Can I sit the Certified Cyber Threat Analyst exam remotely from New Zealand or another time zone?

Yes. PECB publishes remote online exam sessions that candidates can take from home or another suitable location through the PECB Exams application. The published course record lists these exam facts: duration — 3 hours; format — Open-book, multiple-choice; assessment — 80 multiple-choice questions in the current English PECB examination record; pass mark — 70%; language — English; confirm other languages against the current PECB examination listing. New Zealand candidates should choose a published session that suits their local time, meet PECB’s identity and technical requirements, and complete the system check before exam day. PECB’s general exam policy does not publish a New Zealand restriction.

Which credential tier will I receive after the Certified Cyber Threat Analyst exam, and who assesses it?

On passing you can apply for the PECB Certified Cyber Threat Analyst credential — requires two years of threat-hunting, threat-analysis, and cybersecurity experience, and signing the PECB Code of Ethics. Meets the PECB Examination and Certification Program (ECP) requirements. Passing the exam does not by itself award a credential or guarantee the highest experience-based tier. PECB requires an online certification application and reference contact details, and its Certification Department decides whether the education, professional experience, and field-related project activity requirements are met.

What evidence does PECB accept for the experience or project hours for Certified Cyber Threat Analyst?

PECB’s public certification-process page does not publish a closed list of documents that automatically proves project hours. It requires the online application and contact details for references who may be contacted to validate your experience. Keep a dated activity log showing the organisation or client, your role, the field-related project activity, dates, responsibilities, and hours; retain employer or client confirmations, statements of work, timesheets, or similar records in case PECB asks for support. The PECB Certification Department assesses the application and makes the final decision.

/ Frequently asked

Certified Cyber Threat Analyst — frequently asked.

How long is the Certified Cyber Threat Analyst course?

Five days — four days of training across threat-hunting frameworks, preparing and executing a hunt program, analysis and reporting, and building a cybersecurity culture, followed by the certification exam on day five.

What does the CCTA exam involve?

A 3-hour PECB exam covering five competency domains, from the fundamentals of cyber threat analysis and threat hunting through to building a cybersecurity culture, monitoring, and continual improvement. The exam voucher and one free resit are included in the price.

What experience do I need?

Before attending, understand the core principles and concepts of cybersecurity. The full credential has a separate professional-experience requirement assessed by PECB.

Meets the PECB Examination and Certification Program (ECP) requirements.

How is this different from the Incident Responder course?

Cyber Threat Analyst is proactive — it focuses on threat intelligence and hunting for threats before they trigger an incident. Certified Incident Responder is reactive — managing and remediating incidents once they occur. The two are complementary blue-team disciplines.

What CPD credits do I earn?

Participants who complete the training receive an attestation worth 31 CPD (Continuing Professional Development) credits.

How long does the Certified Cyber Threat Analyst course take?

Self-Study — Typical total learning effort: not currently published. Course-day equivalent: 5 training days. A separate eLearning option and workload are not currently published for this course. These are typical total-learning-effort estimates. They are separate from course-material access, exam duration, any live-class calendar span, and professional-experience requirements.

When can I start the course?

After payment, the Academy team confirms your enrolment with PECB and you receive login details by email — usually within one business day.

How long do I have access to the course?

This course publishes 12 months of material access. Course-material access, examination and retake deadlines, and any certificate-application deadline are separate. Confirm the material-access start date in your booking confirmation and check the deadlines recorded in myPECB before scheduling your examination.

What if I fail the exam?

One PECB-issued resit is included under the applicable conditions. PECB’s partner-course policy sets a 12-month examination and included-retake cycle from purchase for Self-Study and eLearning, or from course completion for instructor-led training. A failed attempt does not restart that cycle. The first retake requires at least 15 days after the unsuccessful examination; booking rules and the recorded myPECB deadline also apply. Aegentra does not publish a pass-rate claim without an audited cohort dataset.
