Learn how to apply ISO 31000:2018 to organisational decisions. The course covers risk-management principles, the framework, scope and criteria, identification and assessment, treatment, recording, reporting, monitoring and review.
Self-Study costs A$579 + GST and PECB eLearning costs A$599 + GST. Both include the applicable official course materials, 12 months of access, the first examination attempt, the certification application fee and one free examination retake within the applicable PECB period.
ISO 31000 provides guidance for organisations and cannot be used to certify an organisation. This course is a PECB personnel-certification pathway for an individual.
Aegentra Academy is an official PECB training partner in Australia. Self-Study and eLearning are available without waiting for a cohort. Private instructor-led delivery for an organisation or group can be scoped separately; no public cohort, classroom venue or named live instructor is represented.
Available Australia-wide, in New Zealand and across Asia Pacific — and, because self-study and eLearning are delivered online through the myPECB platform, from anywhere in the world. Academy training is online only. Where a course offers live online teaching, dates and booking arrangements are confirmed before booking. Base prices are published in AUD, and every course page supports available local currencies including NZD. An Australian billing address adds 10% GST; a non-Australian billing address has no Australian GST.
Brochures describe the published course material and may retain an earlier examination or credential version. Check the current PECB examination record and confirm your assigned edition before enrolment.
Self-study brochurePDFeLearning brochurePDFThis 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.
Course facts
This course covers the ISO 31000 principles, framework and risk-management process, then assesses that knowledge through PECB's current Risk Manager examination. It is personnel training and certification—not organisational ISO 31000 certification.
The four-day sequence is PECB's official instructor-led agenda: three training days followed by the examination on Day 4. The published Aegentra offer on this page is self-paced. No public live cohort, classroom venue or completion outcome is implied.
Both self-paced options follow the same PECB ISO 31000 Risk Manager examination and credential pathway. Self-Study is independent; eLearning adds recorded instruction and interactive learning activities.
Australian totals above include 10% GST. For non-Australian billing addresses, Australian GST is not charged; any applicable local taxes are determined at checkout.
Private online delivery for an organisation or group may be scoped separately. The trainer, dates, inclusions and price are confirmed in writing before booking. Physical classroom and onsite Academy training are not offered.

Start with the boundary
ISO 31000 provides risk-management guidance. ISO does not describe it as a requirements standard for organisational certification, so an organisation cannot claim an accredited ISO 31000 management-system certificate.
This course leads to a PECB examination and an experience-verified personnel credential application. The training does not certify an employer, a risk framework or a compliance programme.
ISO marks the 2018 edition as due to be revised, while a third-edition committee draft is under development. A draft is not a published replacement standard.
Australian laws, prudential standards, government policies and employer requirements each have their own scope. ISO 31000 may inform a risk method, but this course does not guarantee compliance, employment, procurement eligibility or a particular risk outcome.
Why Aegentra
Aegentra keeps the official PECB pathway separate from its own Australian pricing, support and learning resources. That makes it possible to verify who controls each claim before deciding whether the course fits your role.
PECB supplies the official syllabus, course material, examination and personnel credential scheme. Aegentra supplies the Australian enrolment and learner-support route as a PECB training partner.
Self-Study and eLearning prices, GST treatment and Australian totals are shown against the exact option selected rather than disclosed after an enquiry.
The free risk matrix, enterprise risk register, risk criteria and Australian reference mapping can be inspected before enrolment, without claiming that a template proves conformity or compliance.
The published individual offer is self-paced. Private instructor-led delivery can be scoped for an organisation, but no public cohort, venue or trainer is represented without a confirmed record.

Inspect the kinds of records a risk manager may design and maintain before you enrol. Each resource is an Aegentra-authored educational example and must be adapted to the organisation's own objectives, context, criteria, obligations and decision rights.
Worked likelihood and consequence scales designed to make rating criteria more repeatable between assessors.
Twelve worked risks with inherent and residual ratings, control effectiveness, appetite tests and ownership fields.
Worked risk categories, escalation thresholds and key-risk-indicator fields for adapting to an organisation’s own context.
A learning reference that maps potentially relevant ISO 31000 work to selected Australian obligations and suggested evidence.
These resources are not official PECB course materials, legal advice, certification evidence, regulatory assurance or proof of compliance.

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.
Aegentra Labs is independently authored supplementary practice. It is not official PECB course content, it does not reproduce live examination questions and it does not guarantee an examination result.
The official PECB agenda contains three training days followed by the certification examination on Day 4. Self-Study and eLearning cover the corresponding course content within the applicable access period.
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.
Passing the examination allows you to apply for the PECB credential tier supported by your verified experience. PECB reviews the application and makes the final credential decision. The current candidate handbook lists Provisional Risk Manager (no professional-experience or activity threshold) and Risk Manager (two years of professional experience, including one year in risk management, plus 200 hours of risk-management activities). Both require the applicable application and PECB Code of Ethics. Non-Provisional Risk Manager credentials are valid for three years and the current maintenance requirement is 60 CPD hours per three-year cycle, the applicable annual maintenance fee and the PECB Code of Ethics. Provisional credentials are exempt from CPD and annual maintenance fees. PECB’s current Risk Manager course page and candidate handbook are not fully consistent about higher credential tiers from this examination, so Aegentra does not promise a Lead or Senior Lead credential from this course.
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.
Examination and application
Passing the examination allows you to apply for the PECB credential tier supported by your verified experience. PECB reviews the application and makes the final credential decision. PECB’s current Risk Manager course page and candidate handbook are not fully consistent about higher credential tiers from this examination, so Aegentra does not promise a Lead or Senior Lead credential from this course.
PECB's current Risk Manager course page and candidate handbook do not present the higher tiers consistently. Confirm the credential you intend to claim with PECB before relying on a higher-tier pathway.
ISO 31000 Risk Manager stands alone. These certifications help apply its risk principles to security, resilience, compliance and AI governance.
These options are complementary, not prerequisites. Each has separate examination, application and experience requirements; no pairing guarantees a credential or career outcome.
Australian context
ISO 31000 can help structure a consistent risk-management method, but the governing instrument, regulator, board policy or contract determines what an Australian organisation must actually do.
Standards Australia publishes the international 2018 edition as an identical Australian adoption. It remains guidance rather than an organisational certification specification.
CPS 230 first came into force on 1 July 2025; the current amended instrument commenced on 1 July 2026. It sets its own operational-risk obligations and does not make this course proof of compliance.
The current Commonwealth Risk Management Policy is the 2023 policy for its defined Commonwealth scope. ISO 31000 can inform a method, but Finance policy and guidance determine the applicable requirements.
The Victorian framework applies to entities subject to the Standing Directions, while ASX governance recommendations have their own listed-entity scope. Neither creates a universal requirement for a PECB credential.
This is educational context, not legal advice, regulatory assurance or a representation that ISO 31000 alone satisfies any Australian obligation.
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.
The published individual options are online Self-Study and PECB eLearning. Check this course page for any separately published private live online option; an enquiry does not confirm availability. 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 course record was corrected on 1 September 2026. PECB’s current course record, brochure, candidate handbook, examination list and exam rules were checked separately from Aegentra’s catalogue-controlled prices, delivery modes, access and support terms. ISO 31000 status was checked against ISO and Standards Australia; Australian context was checked against APRA, the Department of Finance, Victorian DTF and ASX.
Where PECB changes an examination, certification or retake rule, the current PECB learner record, candidate handbook and published policy take precedence.

Self-Study costs A$579 + GST, or A$636.90 including Australian GST. PECB eLearning costs A$599 + GST, or A$658.90 including Australian GST.
Both formats include the applicable official PECB course materials, 12 months of access, the first examination attempt, the certification application fee and one free examination retake within the applicable PECB period.
Self-Study provides the official materials for independent study. PECB eLearning adds recorded instruction and interactive learning activities. Both lead to the same Risk Manager examination and credential pathway.
Typical total learning effort is 25–35 hours for Self-Study and 20–30 hours for eLearning. This estimate is separate from the 12-month access period, exam duration, any live-class calendar span, and professional-experience requirements.
No. ISO 31000 contains guidelines and cannot be used to certify an organisation. The PECB credential associated with this course applies to an individual.
The current examination has 60 multiple-choice questions across three competency domains. It is open book, runs for 120 minutes, uses stand-alone and scenario-based questions with three options each, and has a 70% pass mark.
No. Seventy per cent is the current examination pass mark. Aegentra does not publish a learner pass-rate claim without a complete, auditable and course-specific dataset.
Partner-delivered training includes one free examination retake within the applicable PECB period, subject to PECB’s current waiting periods and examination rules.
No. Passing the examination allows you to apply for the PECB credential tier supported by your verified experience. PECB reviews the application and makes the final credential decision.
A successful candidate with no professional-experience or risk-activity record may apply for the Provisional Risk Manager tier, subject to the current PECB application, Code of Ethics and approval requirements.
The current candidate handbook lists two years of professional experience, including one year in risk management, plus at least 200 hours of risk-management activities. PECB verifies the submitted application.
PECB’s current Risk Manager course page and candidate handbook are not fully consistent about higher credential tiers from this examination, so Aegentra does not promise a Lead or Senior Lead credential from this course. PECB also publishes a separate ISO 31000 Lead Risk Manager course and examination. Confirm the current route directly with PECB before enrolling if a higher tier is your intended outcome.
Foundation is not listed as a mandatory credential prerequisite, but PECB expects a fundamental understanding of ISO 31000 and comprehensive knowledge of risk management. Foundation is the better starting point for a complete beginner.
It is an international PECB personnel credential, and PECB states that its ISO 31000 Risk Manager certification is accredited by IAS. It is not an Australian government licence; employers and clients decide its relevance for a role or engagement.
No. ISO 31000 may support a general risk-management method, but APRA-regulated entities must separately meet every applicable requirement of CPS 230. Completing this course does not establish compliance.
Yes. Aegentra publishes a calibrated risk matrix, an enterprise risk register, risk criteria and appetite examples, and an Australian framework cross-reference without an email gate.
No. Aegentra Labs is independently authored supplementary preparation. It does not reproduce confidential or recalled PECB examination questions and does not guarantee an examination result.
Yes. ISO 31000:2018 remains the currently published edition. ISO marks it as “to be revised,” and ISO/CD 31000, Edition 3, is under development; the draft has not replaced the 2018 edition.
Yes. Aegentra can support employer-funded enrolment and issue an Australian tax invoice. Private instructor-led delivery for an organisation or group may be scoped separately; no public cohort, classroom, dates or trainer are implied.
