Free companion reading for anyone studying or implementing ISO 9001:2015, the quality management system standard:
It is the most demanding ISO 9001 level, and it is open-book. Three hours, mixed multiple-choice and scenario-based questions across seven competency domains, 70% pass mark. It tests whether you can apply ISO 19011 audit principles to a described situation — planning an audit programme, gathering evidence, and writing defensible nonconformities — so practising with audit scenarios matters more than reading the standard again. One free resit is included within 12 months.
The PECB ISO 9001 Lead Auditor course costs $1,290 + GST through Aegentra Academy, including the official PECB examination voucher, course materials, 12 months of myPECB access, and one free resit within 12 months. There is no separate examination fee. Comparable instructor-led lead auditor courses from Australian training providers generally run several times that price.
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.
Lead Implementer trains you to build and run a quality management system using PECB’s IMS2 methodology. Lead Auditor trains you to independently assess one, using ISO 19011 audit methodology and the ISO/IEC 17021-1 certification process. Implementers build; auditors form an opinion. Holding both opens the PECB Master credential pathway.
Self-Study at $1,290 + GST gives you the official PECB slide deck and course material to work through at your own pace. The eLearning option at $1,370 + 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.
It is the credential certification bodies look for, and PECB names auditors performing QMS audits for certification bodies as a primary audience. Individual bodies set their own additional requirements — typically logged audit hours and witnessed audits — so treat the credential as a prerequisite rather than a guarantee of engagement.
It depends on attested experience. Provisional Auditor requires none. Auditor requires two years of professional experience with one in quality management plus 200 hours of audit activities. Lead Auditor requires five years with two in quality management plus 300 hours. Senior Lead Auditor requires ten years with seven in quality management plus 1,000 hours. All require signing the PECB Code of Ethics.
Seven competency domains: fundamental principles and concepts of a QMS; QMS requirements; fundamental audit concepts and principles; preparing an ISO 9001 audit; conducting the audit; closing the audit; and managing an ISO 9001 audit programme.
No. The course teaches audit principles from the ground up under ISO 19011, including evidence-based and risk-based auditing. Existing audit experience in another management system scheme will make the material faster to absorb, since the method transfers directly.
Considerably. The audit method comes from ISO 19011 and the certification process from ISO/IEC 17021-1 — neither is specific to quality. Auditors routinely add schemes such as ISO 27001, ISO 42001, ISO 37301, and ISO 37001 on top of an ISO 9001 base rather than relearning the craft.
Yes. Certification and examination fees are included in the course price, covering a first exam attempt plus one free retake within 12 months.
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.
