Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prerequisites?
No formal prerequisites are required to take the course. Prior background in the field helps, but is not mandatory.
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 so you can 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 certify.
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 confident.
Is ISO 26000 certifiable?
ISO 26000 is a guidance standard, not a certifiable management system. The PECB certification recognises the professional competence to apply its guidance on social responsibility, not a certification of the organisation itself.
