ISO 22301 Lead Implementer — Frequently Asked Questions

Do you run live or in-person classes for this course?

This course is sold as self-paced study, but yes — we also deliver it live. Aegentra runs instructor-led cohorts with a certified PECB trainer, and in-person classroom sessions at our Melbourne and Sydney CBD offices. For enterprise teams we deliver on-site at your office on a schedule that suits you. Live and in-person pricing depends on cohort size and the standard, so it is quoted rather than listed — email Academy@aegentra.com.au with your headcount and preferred dates and we will come back with a quote.

What is ISO 22301?

ISO 22301 is the international standard for business continuity management systems. It sets requirements for identifying what an organisation must keep running, analysing the impact of disruption, selecting continuity strategies, documenting and exercising plans, and improving continuity capability over time.

What is the difference between the slide-only and eLearning options?

Self-Study at $980 + GST gives you the official PECB slide deck and course material to work through at your own pace. The eLearning option at $1,060 + GST adds recorded video lectures and scenario-based quizzes over the same material. Both include the exam and the free retake, and both lead to the identical PECB credential.

How does ISO 22301 relate to APRA CPS 230?

CPS 230 imposes obligations on APRA-regulated entities covering operational risk, business continuity, and service provider management — including tolerance levels for disruption to critical operations. ISO 22301 is a voluntary standard providing a recognised methodology for the continuity component. Certification is not compliance with CPS 230, but a well-run BCMS is a defensible basis for it.

Which credential do I receive?

It depends on attested experience. Provisional Implementer requires none. Implementer requires two years with one in business continuity management plus 200 hours of project activities. Lead Implementer requires five years with two in business continuity management plus 300 hours. Senior Lead Implementer requires ten years with seven plus 1,000 hours. All require signing the PECB Code of Ethics.

How is the exam structured?

Three hours across seven competency domains: fundamental principles and concepts of a BCMS; initiation of a BCMS implementation; planning; implementation; evaluation of BCMS performance; continual improvement; and preparation for a BCMS certification audit.

What is the IMS2 methodology?

IMS2 is PECB’s own management system implementation methodology — a structured sequence for initiating, planning, implementing, evaluating, and improving a management system, then preparing it for certification audit. It is not standard-specific, so it transfers to implementing ISO 9001, ISO 27001, or any other Annex SL standard.

Does this course certify my company?

No. The course certifies you as an individual practitioner. To certify the organisation you need to build the BCMS, run an internal audit, and pass a Stage 1 / Stage 2 audit by an accredited certification body. This course teaches you how to do that work and how to prepare for that audit.

Does this count toward a PECB Master credential?

Yes. PECB certified individuals holding both the Lead Implementer and Lead Auditor credentials in a scheme qualify for the corresponding Master credential, provided they also pass four additional Foundation exams related to that scheme.

Is the exam included in the price?

Yes. Certification and examination fees are included in the course price, and if you complete the course but do not pass you can retake the exam once for free within 12 months of the initial exam date.

What CPD credits do I earn?

Thirty-one CPD credits — an attestation of course completion is issued on finishing the course. These count toward the CPD requirements of ISACA, IIA Australia, and other professional bodies on submission.

Is GST included in the price?

No. Prices are shown exclusive of GST. Australian GST is calculated and added at checkout, and Stripe issues a compliant tax invoice with our ABN automatically.

Can my employer pay or reimburse?

Yes. Either complete checkout yourself and forward the Stripe tax invoice for reimbursement, or write to Academy@aegentra.com.au and we will issue an invoice direct to your organisation with payment terms. Groups of five or more receive a discount.

When can I start the course?

Immediately after payment. The Academy team confirms your seat with PECB and you receive login details by email — usually within one business day.

How long do I have access to the course?

You have 12 months of access from enrolment. That window covers the course material, the official PECB exam, and one free resit if you need it.

What if I fail the exam?

One PECB-issued resit is included in your enrolment at no extra cost. Most learners who use the included study materials and sit the resit within 30 days pass on their second attempt.

Can my employer be invoiced directly?

Yes. Either complete the checkout yourself and forward the Stripe tax invoice to your employer for reimbursement, or write to Academy@aegentra.com.au and we will issue an invoice to your organisation with payment terms.

Is the credential recognised internationally?

Yes. PECB is an accredited certification body recognised globally. The credential is the same one issued through any authorised PECB training partner — recognised by employers, audit bodies, and government tenders worldwide.

Do you offer group bookings for teams?

Yes. Groups of five or more receive a discount and can be enrolled with a single invoice. Write to Academy@aegentra.com.au with the course, number of seats, and start window.

What is your refund policy?

All enrolments are non-refundable. Once payment is confirmed your PECB seat is provisioned and the course materials become available, so refunds cannot be issued. Please review the course details carefully before purchase, and email Academy@aegentra.com.au if you have questions before enrolling.
