Where it fits in the US
Why US organisations ask for it
ISO 9001 is the international standard for quality management systems. US organisations are certified to it by certification bodies, typically ones accredited by ANAB, and customers often ask suppliers for the certificate when they qualify them. Sector standards such as AS9100 for aerospace build on it. Lead Implementer teaches you to build and run the quality management system those audits look at. This course certifies you as an implementer; the organisation is certified separately, by an accredited certification body.

Frequently asked questions
Does the price include the PECB exam?
Yes. US$485 covers the official PECB eLearning, the exam voucher, remote proctoring and the certification fee. There are no separate exam fees.
Is this course PECB eLearning or PECB Self-Study?
It is PECB eLearning, which PECB delivers through PECB Certified Trainers in pre-recorded video format, with quizzes and the official course materials on myPECB, and it earns 31 CPD credits on completion. PECB Self-Study is a different PECB format: the official course materials without the recorded lessons, which PECB describes as suitable for people with considerable knowledge of the subject who do not require assisted lecturing, and it earns 16 CPD credits for a course of the same length. PECB makes its video lessons available only in eLearning. US$485 is the price for this eLearning course, charged in US dollars, and it includes the PECB exam voucher, two exam attempts, the certification fee, the first year of PECB certification maintenance and 12 months of access. What PECB eLearning and Self-Study each include.
How many exam attempts are included?
Two. Your first sitting is included, and if you do not pass, your second attempt within 12 months is included too.
Are there any additional fees?
Not from us. US$485 is charged at checkout, in US dollars. The one ongoing cost is PECB's own Annual Maintenance Fee, which the PECB Certification Maintenance Policy sets at USD 390 per certificate for each three-year cycle and which keeps the credential active. Your first year is already included in the course price, so that fee starts in year two and is paid to PECB directly.
How long does the course take?
About 30 to 35 hours of self-paced study, the eLearning equivalent of a five day classroom course. Your access lasts 12 months.
What is the exam format?
Three hours, open book, 80 multiple choice questions, and 70% to pass. You may refer to a hard copy of ISO 9001, your course materials and your own notes. It is remote-proctored: you choose one of the scheduled online exam sessions in myPECB and sit it from home or the office.
Is the certification recognised in the US?
Yes. PECB is an international certification body, and the credential is the same certificate wherever you sit the exam.
Do I need experience before I enrol?
No. PECB suggests basic knowledge of ISO 9001 and management system concepts to get the most from the course, but there is no enrolment barrier. You can apply for the Provisional Implementer credential as soon as you pass; the full Lead Implementer credential is granted once you have five years of experience and 300 hours of project activity.
Is a copy of the ISO 9001 standard included?
No, and you do not need it to complete the course or pass the exam. ISO 9001 is a licensed document, so if you want your own copy you buy it from iso.org or the ANSI Webstore.
Who am I buying from?
Mindset Cyber, an authorised PECB training partner based in Australia. The course, the materials and the exam are PECB’s own and are identical wherever you enrol. You are charged in US dollars and supported by email.
