PECB has earned a reputation for integrity, value and best practice by providing this assurance through the evaluation and certification of professionals against rigorous, internationally recognized competence requirements.
PECB is accredited by ANSI (American National Standards Institute) to ISO/IEC 17024 which is the Personnel Certification Accreditation Standard. Being accredited by one of the toughest and most reputable accreditation bodies in the world gives us global recognition.
Our mission is to provide our clients comprehensive personnel examination and certification services. Certification represents the intersection of protection of the public, fairness to candidates, and often, various interests of the profession. Although these may appear to be competing interests, a well-designed certification program will be most effective in meeting these interests when its resources are deployed to enhance validity and reliability. The guidance that follows in our Quality Manual is intended to ensure that PECB develops, maintains and improves a high quality recognized certification program.

1. Decide which certification is right for you
Each PECB certification has specific education and experience requirements. To determine which certification is right for you, verify all eligibility requirements for the different certifications and your professional needs.
4. Take the exam
Candidates will be required to arrive at least 30 minutes before the beginning of the certification exam. Candidates arriving late will not be given additional time to compensate for the late arrival and may be denied entry to the examination room. All candidates will need to present a valid identity card such as a driver’s license to the proctor and the exam confirmation letter. The duration of the exam varies according to the type of examination taken (see description of the different exams for more details at www.PECB.org).
3. Apply and schedule the exam
Candidates must complete the easy and secure online application. PECB’ online application is available at www.PECB.org. Candidates will register for a password-protected account where they can then create, manage, update, and submit their application. Applicants can pay the application fees online and upload all required supporting documents to PECB. Applicants will also have the option of mailing the payment (checks) but this will result in delays of the application process.Applicants will then be able to select a date and location for their certification exam. Dates and location can be found at www.PECB.org. You must register at least fifteen (15) days before the exam date.
2. Prepare for the exam
All certification candidates are responsible for their own study and preparation for the examination. No specific set of courses or curriculum of study is required as part of the certification process. Likewise, the completion of a recognized PECB course or program of study will significantly enhance your chance of passing a PECB certification examination. You can verify the list of recognized organizations that offer PECB official training sessions.
PeCBCertification Process
5. Receive your exam results
It takes 4 to 8 weeks for participants to receive their exam results. All results are sent via email. The examination results will not include the exact grade that you had, only a mention of pass or fail. In the case of a failure, the results will be accompanied with the list of domains in which you had a mark lower than the passing grade to provide guidance to prepare yourself to retake the exam.
7. Maintain your certification
Every year, PECB certified professionals would need to provide PECB with the number of hours of auditing and/or implementation related tasks they have performed with the contact details of individuals who can validate these tasks, as well as paying their yearly certification maintenance fees. PECB has made a decision to waive Annual Maintenance Fees (AMFs) for certification maintenance to all its certified members until 2015-12-31. In addition, PECB certified professionals need to abide to PECB’s code of ethics. For more information, please visit the FAQ section at www.PECB.org
6. Apply for certification
All participants who successfully pass their certification exam (or an equivalent accepted by PECB) are entitled to apply for the PECB credentials they were examined for. Specific educational and professional requirements may be needed for you to be PECB certified. Candidates will need to fill out the online certification application form (that can be accessed via their PECB online profile), including contact details of references who will be contacted to validate the candidate’s professional experience.Once PECB will have validated that, you fulfill all certification requirements, you will be informed by e-mail of our decision and you will receive your certificate by e-mail in electronic format.
