The PECB exam is 80 multiple-choice questions, open-book, three hours, and both the exam and certification fees are in your course price.
ISO 37301 replaced the ISO 19600 guidance with auditable requirements, so a compliance management system can now be certified.

PECB issues an attestation of course completion worth 31 CPD credits you can put toward other certifications’ continuing-education requirements.

Each day builds on the last—momentum is everything.
Real questions from real professionals who passed.
Here's
how we answer them.
ISO 37301 is the international standard for a compliance management system (CMS), the framework an organization uses to identify and meet its legal, regulatory and contractual obligations. The PECB Certified ISO 37301 Lead Auditor credential shows you can plan, lead and report an audit of a CMS against the standard, using ISO 19011 audit principles.
Compliance officers and managers, internal and external auditors, legal and governance professionals, and consultants who assess whether an organization actually meets its obligations rather than just documents them.
PECB asks for a fundamental understanding of ISO 37301 requirements, or the earlier ISO 19600 guidelines, and a working knowledge of audit principles.
Day 1 introduces ISO 37301:2021 and the compliance management system. Day 2 covers ISO 19011 audit principles and preparing and initiating an audit. Day 3 is on-site audit activities: evidence, interviews, and assessing compliance culture. Day 4 closes the audit: reporting, corrective action follow-up and managing an audit program. The four days follow PECB’s official course structure, with the exam at the end.
The exam covers 7 competency domains: fundamental concepts and principles of a CMS; CMS requirements; fundamental audit concepts and principles; preparing an ISO 37301 audit; conducting an ISO 37301 audit; closing an ISO 37301 audit; managing an ISO 37301 audit program. Questions are weighted across the domains, and the course is organized so every domain is taught before you sit the exam.
The exam has 80 multiple-choice questions, a mix of standalone and scenario-based, and lasts 3 hours. It is open-book, and the passing score is 70%. Online exams are graded instantly.

ISO 19600 was guidance only, so an organization could follow it but never be certified against it. ISO 37301, published in 2021, replaced it with auditable requirements, which means a compliance management system can now be certified. This course prepares you to run those audits.
The audit method is the same, following ISO 19011, but the subject is different. Instead of information security controls you test whether the organization identifies its legal, regulatory and contractual obligations, meets them, and has a compliance culture that holds up under scrutiny.
As of 2026 the current edition is ISO 37301:2021, the first certifiable compliance management standard. This course teaches the 2021 requirements and the audit process for them.
Yes. PECB issues an attestation of course completion worth 31 CPD (Continuing Professional Development) credits to everyone who attends the course.
