Are there entry requirements?

While there are no formal entry requirements, this is a Lead Auditor course. It assumes that delegates have a good knowledge of ISO27001, the Information Security Management Standard, gained through practical experience, reading, or through attendance at any course, such as the ISO27001 ISMS Foundation one-day course and our ISMS Certified ISMS Lead Implementer course.

The ISO27001 standard itself

While copies of the standard will be available for you to refer to throughout the course, we do however reccommend delegates owning copies of both the standards in order to refer to throughout the course and beyond. If you do wish to purchase a copy of the standards ISO27001 (ISO 27001) & ISO27002 (ISO 27002), we have put together a special discounted offer price including both the course and our Standards package.  Please use the drop down menu above to choose this combination option.

The importance of Certification

This course prepares delegates for an examination which is taken on the last day of a 4.5 day training programme. Successful candidates will be awarded the ISO27001 ISMS Lead Auditor Certificate issued by the exam body, gasq and approved by the International Board for IT Governance Qualifications.

Qualifications that are certified by accredited and respected organisations are becoming an essential requirement of any IT governance professional. With an ever increasing demand for information security staff, employers offer enhanced career opportunities to candidates who have certified qualifications and relevant experience.
