ISO 27001 training helps you understand information security and how it works in practice. The standard provides a framework for managing risks to the information your organisation holds.
Whether you are getting started, taking on audit responsibilities or improving an existing system, choose a course that matches the work you want to do.

What should I know before attending?
ISOQAR expects prior knowledge of ISO 27001, information security management and auditing. Batalas also requires prior knowledge of the standard. Intertek recommends experience in IT protection, IT management or information security. Read the syllabus and ask the provider whether your experience is enough.
Does online mean I can study whenever I want?
These examples are tutor-led courses with scheduled attendance. Allow time away from normal duties and a quiet place for group work. If you need to study in short sessions around work, look specifically for self-paced learning and check whether its assessment and certificate meet your needs.
What happens after the teaching days?
Batalas describes an online exam to be completed within 30 days and requires full course attendance. Ask each provider when the assessment takes place, what equipment you need and whether exam and resit costs are included. Batalas and ISOQAR describe these courses as CQI and IRCA certified; verify the exact course when professional recognition matters.
Which course is right for you?
Learn the basics
Requirements or foundation training introduces the standard and what it asks organisations to do. It can be a useful first step before further training in auditing or putting the standard into practice.
Audit your own organisation
Internal auditor training helps you check how your organisation’s information security system is working. Look for practical exercises in planning an audit, gathering evidence and reporting your findings. Some courses expect you to know the standard already.
For example, you might review how access to information is managed or how security incidents are reported.
Prepare to lead audits
Lead auditor training develops the skills to plan and lead audits, including working with an audit team. Check the entry requirements, practical assessment and any recognition needed for your career plans. Professional auditor registration may require experience as well as training.
Add another subject to your auditor training
A conversion course may suit you if you already have relevant auditor training or experience. Check the provider’s entry requirements to make sure your existing qualifications are accepted.
Set up or improve a system
Implementation training helps you put information security into practice. It may suit you if your role involves setting up processes, helping colleagues use them or improving an existing system. This may involve agreeing responsibilities, assessing information-security risks and putting suitable processes in place.
Is this the information-security training you need?
ISO 27001 focuses on how an organisation manages information-security risks. If you want hands-on technical skills in a particular security tool or technology, check the syllabus carefully to see whether it covers them.
