Exam and credential pathway

The exam covers good governance principles, evaluating and directing the use of IT, and monitoring and reviewing governance activities.

Passing the examination enables an application to the applicable PECB ISO/IEC 38500 IT Governance Manager designation. The full Manager designation requires the specified professional and IT-governance activity experience, while a provisional pathway is available without that experience; application and ethics requirements remain applicable.

Course completion, examination success, certification application and credential issuance are separate stages; the credential is not issued automatically.
