Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prerequisites?
There are no formal prerequisites for the course. Some prior background in the field helps, but it is not required.
What language is the exam in?
The official PECB exam for this course is available in Spanish and English. Coaching is delivered in English to prepare you as well as possible.
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. The coaching option includes up to 6 hours of one-to-one video sessions, spread at your own pace over the 12 months of access. See the full coaching programme.
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.
Do I need the Lead Implementer first?
It is not required, but it helps. Implementer and Auditor are complementary perspectives: one implements the PIMS, the other audits it.
