Do I need any prerequisites?
There are no formal prerequisites. A basic familiarity with ISO 27001 (for example the Foundation level) is recommended, but not required.
What language is the exam in?
The official PECB material and exam for this course are available in the languages shown on this page. Coaching is delivered in English to prepare you thoroughly. If you need a specific language, contact us and we will confirm it.
What is the difference between Self-Study and Self-Study + Coaching?
Self-Study gives you the official material, the exam and the certification to progress at your own pace. The coaching option adds one-to-one sessions with me, real-world case studies and guided exam preparation: I support you until you feel ready to get certified.
What if I don't pass the exam?
The PECB exam includes 2 attempts: the first plus a free retake usable within the following 12 months. So a failure doesn't leave you stranded. What's more, with the coaching option we prepare for the exam together with mock exams so that you arrive with confidence.
What is threat hunting and why does it matter?
Threat hunting is the proactive search for threats that evade automated defences. CCTA teaches recognised frameworks and hands-on techniques to hunt, analyse and anticipate attacks before they cause damage.
