Choosing the right course
Choose Lead Implementer if you will build or maintain the management system. Lead Auditor is the related path for evaluating whether the system meets its requirements.
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.
