Choosing the right course

This course specifically compares ISO/IEC 27701:2019 with ISO/IEC 27701:2025. It is a focused update for prior-version users; Foundation is the more suitable starting point for a learner new to the standard.

Exam and credential requirements

Passing the applicable exam and completing PECB’s application requirements are separate from enrolling in the course. Review the official course details for exam rules, available languages, and credential conditions.
