This course is sold as self-paced study, but yes — we also deliver it live.

For enterprise teams we deliver on-site at your office on a schedule that suits you.

Risk Manager is the three-day practitioner course — it trains you to run the information security risk process. Lead Risk Manager is the five-day senior pathway — it trains you to establish, maintain, and continually improve the whole framework, and gives a full day to the assessment methods. The Lead exam is broader too: six competency domains and 80 questions, against four domains for Risk Manager.
No. ISO/IEC 27005 Lead Risk Manager is offered as slide-based self-study only at $989 + GST. If you would prefer a format with recorded video lectures, the ISO/IEC 27005 Risk Manager course is available either as self-study or with eLearning.
Eighty multiple-choice questions across six competency domains, each with three options. Half the questions measure comprehension, application and analysis; the other half measure evaluation. Questions are a mix of stand-alone and scenario-based, where one scenario carries five questions. Pass mark is 70%, and the exam is open-book.
It is open-book. You may use a hard copy of the ISO/IEC 27005 standard, your training course materials (through the PECB Exams app or printed), and any personal notes taken during the course.
It depends on attested experience. Provisional Risk Manager requires none. Lead Risk Manager requires five years of professional experience with two of those in information security risk management, plus 300 hours of information security risk management activities. Senior Lead Risk Manager requires ten years with seven in information security risk management, plus 1,000 hours. All require signing the PECB Code of Ethics.
For courses delivered by a PECB partner, the training fee covers the first exam attempt, one free retake, the certification application fee, and the first year of the Annual Maintenance Fee. That cycle must be completed within 12 months of the purchase date for self-study.
Three years. To maintain it you need to meet the CPD requirement for your credential and pay the annual maintenance fee. The first year of that fee is included in the course price.
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.
No. PECB expects a fundamental understanding of ISO/IEC 27005 plus knowledge of risk assessment and information security, but the Risk Manager course is not a formal prerequisite. If information security risk is genuinely new to you, starting at Risk Manager is the faster total path.
