The exam and the certificate
PECB Certified ISO/IEC 20000 Lead Auditor Exam, 7 competency domains
The exam is sat at the end of the course and is included in the price. Certification is issued by PECB following successful examination and verification of professional experience against PECB’s published requirements, which vary by credential level. We tell candidates in advance where their experience may fall short of the credential they are aiming at.
The same examination leads to a graded credential, from Provisional through to Senior, and the grade you receive depends on your documented professional experience and project involvement, not on your exam mark. We tell candidates before they book which grade their experience currently supports.
