ISO 27001 Foundation course — $399 AUD, PECB-certified. The Aegentra Academy ISO 27001 Foundation is a PECB-accredited, self-paced online program priced at $399 AUD, including the official PECB exam voucher and one free resit within 12 months. Instructor-led cohorts are also available in Melbourne and Sydney. Aegentra Academy is an official PECB authorised training partner in Australia.
This PECB-accredited course is sold and supported by Aegentra Academy — an official PECB authorised training partner in Australia.

Aegentra Academy courses are delivered by active practitioners — the same senior engineers who run ISO 27001 readiness and GRC engagements and Microsoft 365 hardening for Australian SMBs.

ISO 27001 is the de facto security qualifier for Australian procurement. Defence-industry suppliers building toward Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) membership, Commonwealth and state tenders referencing the Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) at Maturity Level 2 and above, APRA-regulated banks, insurers, and super funds evidencing CPS 234, and operators captured by the Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act all lean on ISO 27001 as the implementation template. It maps cleanly onto the ACSC Essential Eight — the Essential Eight tells you what to do, ISO 27001 tells you how to run the system that decides what to do.
Employers hiring GRC analysts, internal auditors, ISMS coordinators, and security-cleared compliance staff across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, Perth, and Adelaide list ISO 27001 credentials as expected. The PECB credential earned here is the internationally recognised, ANAB-accredited qualification those roles ask for.
The self-paced eLearning for the ISO 27001 Foundation course is delivered by the following PECB-certified master trainers. Online-live and in-person cohorts in Melbourne and Sydney are led by Aegentra's own NV1-cleared, ISO 27001-certified instructors.

Five modules covering the structure of ISO/IEC 27001:2022, the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, the four Annex A control themes (Organisational, People, Physical, Technological — 93 controls in total), the day-to-day operation of an ISMS, and exam preparation. Total effort is 8-12 hours of self-paced study.
Yes. PECB is accredited by ANAB (ANSI National Accreditation Board) under ISO/IEC 17024 for personnel certification — the same accreditation framework that JAS-ANZ uses in Australia. The credential is recognised by Australian Commonwealth and state government tenders, APRA-regulated financial-services hiring, DISP-registered defence-industry employers, and every certification body operating in Australia.
No prior experience required. The Foundation pathway assumes no ISO knowledge and no security background — it is the entry point. If you have already implemented controls in a previous role you will move through the material faster, but the course is written for absolute beginners.
Foundation is awareness — you can describe the standard. Lead Implementer is execution — you can scope, build, and operate an ISMS from scratch, including writing the Statement of Applicability and preparing for a stage-2 audit. Lead Auditor is verification — you can plan and conduct internal, supplier, and certification audits to ISO 19011. Most people start at Foundation, then choose Implementer or Auditor based on the work they will actually do.
Typical effort is 8-12 hours of self-paced study spread over one to two weeks. You have 12 months of myPECB access so the pace is yours — some learners finish in a weekend, others spread it across a month while working full-time.
One-hour, multiple-choice, online-proctored. The exam covers two competency domains — fundamental concepts of an ISMS, and information security management based on ISO/IEC 27001. Pass mark is 70%. You receive your PECB digital certificate within a few business days of passing.
Yes. The official PECB exam voucher plus two exam attempts (initial sit plus one free resit if you do not pass on the first attempt) are included. There is no separate exam fee.
Yes. PECB exams are remotely proctored and delivered through the myPECB portal. You need a quiet room, a webcam, and a stable internet connection. There is no requirement to travel to a test centre in Sydney, Melbourne, or anywhere else.
Every authorised PECB Foundation course leads to the same credential — the certificate is identical wherever you buy it. The differences are price, format, and who supports you. Aegentra delivers Foundation at $399 AUD with the official PECB exam, one free resit, and 12 months access included. We are an Australian security consultancy run by active NV1-cleared practitioners, not a pure training company — so your Academy support inbox is staffed by people who run real ISMS programs.
ISO 27001 is a management-system standard — it certifies that your organisation has an end-to-end process for governing information security. The Essential Eight is a technical baseline published by the Australian Signals Directorate covering eight mitigations (application control, patch applications, etc.). The Essential Eight tells you what to do; ISO 27001 tells you how to run the system that decides what to do. Many Australian organisations implement both, with ISO 27001 as the umbrella and Essential Eight controls referenced inside the Annex A control set.
APRA CPS 234 is the prudential standard for information security for APRA-regulated entities (banks, insurers, super funds). Most CPS 234 obligations — board-level accountability, an information-asset inventory, classified information-security capability, incident response, internal audit — map directly onto ISO 27001 clauses and Annex A controls. Foundation gives you the language to see those mappings; Lead Implementer is what you need to actually build the ISMS that satisfies them.
Indirectly. Tenders and questionnaires usually ask whether your organisation holds the ISO 27001 certification (which is awarded to companies, not individuals). What Foundation does is make the staff completing those questionnaires meaningfully faster and more accurate — they understand the question being asked and the evidence that satisfies it. If the goal is the organisational ISO 27001 certificate, talk to us about the Govern service.
PECB awards 14 CPD credits on completion of the ISO 27001 Foundation course. These count toward maintenance of other PECB credentials and toward CPD requirements at most professional bodies (ISACA, (ISC)², AISA) on submission.
The Foundation credential does not expire and does not require renewal. The certificate is dated and refers to the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 edition; if the standard is significantly revised in future you may choose to take a refresher course, but there is no mandatory recertification.
