Is this programme right for you?
Who this is for
This is a good fit for members of an ISMS implementation team, information-security and IT specialists, project managers, quality managers, consultants, and managers who are responsible for information-security compliance or for implementing a system.
Who this is not for
This is not the right fit if you mainly need a technical course on penetration testing, SOC operations, or network or application security, if you need the auditor track rather than implementation (see the Lead Auditor track instead), if you cannot work with English-language materials, or if you expect the course itself to certify your organisation against ISO/IEC 27001 – that is a separate organisational certification process.

Frequently asked questions
Does this certify me or my organisation?
You. The EVK certificate, passing the PECB exam and your personal PECB credential are separate from your organisation's ISO/IEC 27001 certificate, which is its own certification process.
What language is the programme taught in?
Materials and tests are in English; at least an intermediate level of English is needed.
How much time per week does this take?
70 academic hours in total across 5 weeks: live sessions plus independent work at your own pace.
Does EVK issue the PECB credential?
No. Preparation + PECB credential after the certification body's own requirements – Ettevõtluskeskus provides the preparation, PECB issues its own credential once you meet its own requirements.
Do I need prior information-security knowledge?
It is not a mandatory prerequisite – basic computer literacy is enough, and prior exposure to risk management, information security or process management is an advantage.
What do I need to take part?
A computer, a webcam, a stable internet connection, headphones with a microphone, and a quiet space for the live sessions.
How does mentoring work?
Mentor-led group sessions and practical exercises; 1:1 mentoring is available if needed.

The road to the PECB credential – kept in clearly separate layers
Each layer has a different owner. Ettevõtluskeskus provides the preparation; PECB issues its own credential once you meet its own requirements.
