Choosing the right course

Choose Lead Auditor when your work centers on evaluating a management system. Choose Lead Implementer when your primary responsibility is establishing and operating that system.

Exam and credential requirements

The credential awarded depends on passing the exam and meeting PECB’s applicable experience, activity, application, and ethics requirements. A course purchase or exam pass alone does not establish eligibility for the selected credential. Review the official credential table before choosing a certification path.

Confirm access dates, exam scheduling, and any retake conditions in your enrollment information. Certification maintenance or renewal requirements depend on the credential; consult PECB’s current rules.
