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.

Explore free ISO 31000 resourcesThe Self-Study course is $979 + GST (A$1,076.90 including Australian GST). It includes the official PECB exam voucher, two attempts — the initial sitting plus one free resit within 12 months — and 12 months of myPECB access. Typical total learning effort is 35–45 hours; this is an estimated workload, not calendar duration or a completion guarantee.
The current exam has 80 multiple-choice questions across five competency domains, including stand-alone and scenario-based questions. It is open book, three hours, with a 70% pass mark. The five domains cover principles and concepts; framework establishment; process initiation and assessment; treatment, recording and reporting; and monitoring, review, communication and consultation.
Compare the published exam scopes: Risk Manager has 60 questions across three domains, while Lead Risk Manager has 80 questions across five domains. Neither course is a formal prerequisite for the other. After passing, you may apply for the eligible credential tier; PECB validates the application and experience requirements. Non-Provisional credentials are valid for three years. Current three-year CPD requirements are 60 hours for Risk Manager, 90 for Lead Risk Manager and 180 for Senior Lead Risk Manager, plus the applicable annual maintenance fee and the PECB Code of Ethics. Provisional credentials are exempt from CPD and annual maintenance fees.
The examples illustrate one possible implementation. Regulatory mappings are cross-references, not compliance determinations. The course develops knowledge assessed by PECB; role, engagement and regulatory eligibility depend on experience and the relevant organisation.
The official PECB course and exam package starts at A$979 + GST — with no separate exam fee after enrolment. Optional Aegentra Labs exam preparation is clearly priced separately.
The exam voucher is included in your enrolment, and so is one free resit if you don’t pass first time. Both the exam and the credential are issued directly by PECB.
After passing, you may apply for the eligible credential tier; PECB validates the application and experience requirements. The published ladder is Provisional Risk Manager (no experience) → Risk Manager (2 years, 1 in risk management, 200 hours) → Lead Risk Manager (5 years, 2 in risk management, 300 hours) → Senior Lead Risk Manager (10 years, 7 in risk management, 1,000 hours). All tiers require signing the PECB Code of Ethics. Non-Provisional credentials are valid for three years. Current three-year CPD requirements are 60 hours for Risk Manager, 90 for Lead Risk Manager and 180 for Senior Lead Risk Manager, plus the applicable annual maintenance fee and ethics requirements. Provisional credentials are exempt from CPD and annual maintenance fees.
An exam pass is the first step. You must submit PECB's certification application and required declarations and references. PECB decides whether the requirements for the requested credential tier are met.

Aegentra Academy provides the official PECB course, learning materials and examination pathway. Aegentra Labs is the separate practice workspace for a sourced exam guide, independently authored practice questions, timed exam mode, answer review and domain-level results for this exact qualification.

These answers use this course's current catalogue record and PECB's published exam, certification, and maintenance policies.
The published price is A$979 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.
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.
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.
The currently published self-paced option is Self-Study at A$979 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.
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 — stand-alone and scenario-based questions; assessment — 80 multiple-choice questions across 5 competency domains — fundamental principles and concepts of risk management, establishment of the risk management framework, initiation of the risk management process and risk assessment, risk treatment and risk recording and reporting, and risk monitoring, review, communication and consultation.; pass mark — 70%; language — English (other PECB languages available on request). 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.
After passing, you may apply for the eligible credential tier; PECB validates the application and experience requirements. The published ladder is Provisional Risk Manager (no experience) → Risk Manager (2 years, 1 in risk management, 200 hours) → Lead Risk Manager (5 years, 2 in risk management, 300 hours) → Senior Lead Risk Manager (10 years, 7 in risk management, 1,000 hours). All tiers require signing the PECB Code of Ethics. Non-Provisional credentials are valid for three years. Current three-year CPD requirements are 60 hours for Risk Manager, 90 for Lead Risk Manager and 180 for Senior Lead Risk Manager, plus the applicable annual maintenance fee and ethics requirements. Provisional credentials are exempt from CPD and annual maintenance fees. 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 risk-management activity requirements are met.
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 risk-management 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.

Risk management framework, process, and integration across the business.
Lead an enterprise risk program end to end — design, deploy, and chair the framework.
The credential may support progression into risk, governance, implementation, audit and consulting roles. Actual eligibility, remuneration and engagement requirements depend on experience, sector, location and employer or client requirements.
The course is designed for work such as enterprise risk leadership, operational risk, senior risk consulting and risk-programme direction. Employers set their own credential and experience requirements; the course must not be treated as a substitute for the professional history required by a role or by a PECB credential tier.
Lead Risk Manager covers the design and operation of an enterprise-wide risk framework. That capability can complement ISO 27001 information-security risk, ISO 22301 business continuity and ISO 42001 AI risk work, but holding multiple course credentials does not establish eligibility for a CRO, vCISO or other senior role.
The credential may support progression into risk, governance, implementation, audit and consulting roles. Actual eligibility, remuneration and engagement requirements depend on experience, sector, location and employer or client requirements.
The credential may support progression into risk, governance, implementation, audit and consulting roles. Actual eligibility, remuneration and engagement requirements depend on experience, sector, location and employer or client requirements.
The curriculum covers risk appetite, reporting and framework oversight relevant to teams supporting board risk committees. Aegentra does not claim that ASX-listed employers require or commonly hold this specific credential; hiring criteria must be checked with each organisation.
Commonwealth agencies and state bodies operate under public-sector risk frameworks, but no evidence has been published here that they require this specific PECB credential. The course content may be relevant to framework design; procurement, security-clearance and role requirements remain organisation-specific.
SOCI-regulated operators manage cross-hazard risks spanning cyber, physical, personnel and supply-chain domains. ISO 31000 methods can support that work, but this course does not by itself satisfy the SOCI Act or prove eligibility for a senior risk position.
The exam is open-book, but the questions reward fluency, not lookup. Plan your study around these checkpoints.

Official PECB training through an authorised partner. PECB is accredited by IAS and UKAS as a personnel certification body under ISO/IEC 17024 and by ANAB as a certificate issuer under ANSI/ASTM E2659-24. Accreditation is program- and scope-specific—verify the applicable credential before enrolment.
This PECB personnel-certification scheme appears in the current IAS PCB-111 ISO/IEC 17024 accreditation scope. Verify the current scope directly with IAS.
This official PECB course is sold and supported by Aegentra Academy. PECB supplies the course material, examination and professional credential scheme. Aegentra's wider practice also runs governance, risk and compliance engagements and Microsoft 365 hardening for Australian organisations. Named eLearning trainers are credited separately on this page when the course record supplies them.
Published Self-Study and eLearning courses run online through the myPECB platform, so professionals across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and New Zealand enrol online. Any live online option and its booking arrangements are stated on the relevant course page. Physical classroom and onsite Academy training are not offered. Multi-seat team pricing is available for five or more seats — email Academy@aegentra.com.au for an enterprise quote. Tax invoices with GST and ABN are issued automatically at checkout.
This PECB personnel-certification scheme appears in the current IAS PCB-111 ISO/IEC 17024 accreditation scope. Verify the current scope directly with IAS. Lead Risk Manager carries 31 CPD credits. The credential may support progression into risk, governance, implementation, audit and consulting roles; actual eligibility and engagement requirements vary. As with every ISO 31000 credential, it certifies the practitioner — organisations cannot be certified against ISO 31000.
The PECB ISO 31000 Lead Risk Manager course costs $979 + GST through Aegentra Academy, with the official PECB examination voucher included — no separate exam fee. The price covers the course materials, 12 months of myPECB access, and one free resit within 12 months. The exam is open-book and remotely proctored from anywhere in Australia.
Six modules aligned to the published five-domain exam scope: principles and concepts; framework establishment; process initiation and assessment; treatment, recording and reporting; monitoring, review, communication and consultation; plus exam preparation. Typical total learning effort is 35–45 hours of self-paced study.
Risk Manager is optional preparation, not a formal prerequisite. Compare the published scopes: Risk Manager covers 60 questions across three domains, while Lead Risk Manager covers 80 questions across five domains. Choose the level that matches your current knowledge and intended scope.
The exam has 80 multiple-choice questions across five competency domains — principles and concepts, framework establishment, process initiation and assessment, treatment and reporting, and monitoring, review, communication and consultation. It is open-book, three hours, with a 70% pass mark. After passing, you may apply for the eligible credential tier; PECB validates the application and experience requirements.
Lead Risk Manager is a professional credential pathway; Chief Risk Officer is an executive role. The course covers enterprise-risk programme design, but it does not replace the leadership experience, regulatory knowledge or employer requirements for a CRO role.
Aegentra publishes the exact option it sells: Lead Risk Manager is $979 + GST as Self-Study, including the official exam voucher, one free resit within 12 months and 12 months of access. The course follows the applicable PECB scheme, and Aegentra is an Australian governance and risk consultancy.
The framework-design and risk-governance material may support work on CPS 220 or CPS 230 programmes, but the credential does not itself demonstrate compliance or establish eligibility to lead a regulated transformation. APRA obligations, organisational accountability and role requirements must be assessed separately.
Aegentra has not published evidence that those employers or professional bodies formally recognise this credential or accept its CPD credits. Verify employment criteria and CPD acceptance directly with the relevant organisation before relying on either claim.
The canonical course record publishes 31 CPD credits on completion. Whether another professional body accepts those credits depends on that body’s current rules; verify acceptance directly before relying on it.
The course may support a professional-development pathway, but it does not by itself establish senior consulting competence, insurance, experience or buyer eligibility. Prospective consultants should verify client, regulatory and professional requirements separately.
Yes. Either complete checkout yourself and forward the Stripe tax invoice for reimbursement, or contact Academy@aegentra.com.au. For group enrolments, request a written quote with the current price, payment terms and confirmed inclusions before purchase.
Self-Study — Typical total learning effort: 35–45 hours. 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.
After payment, the Academy team confirms your enrolment with PECB and you receive login details by email — usually within one business day.
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.
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.
