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.
Is CLEH a hands-on course?
Yes. CLEH is highly practical: you carry out a full penetration test in a lab, from reconnaissance to reporting, and the exam requires you to compromise target systems and document your findings.
