PECB Certificate Holder in ISO 13485 Foundation
Licensing authority: PECB
Initial by examination
- Attendance
- Be present at least 30 minutes before the session with valid identification; online delivery uses the PECB Exams application and remotely supervised camera. Foundation closed-book rules forbid reference material.
- Award
- Pass the Foundation exam, apply for the certificate, meet PECB application review and sign the PECB Code of Ethics. The award table requires no professional, MS audit/assessment or project experience; references and work experience are not required for Foundation certificates under the general policies.
- Dates
- No official commencement or examination retirement date was found in the current program page, linked brochure, English catalogue record or current rules. The course-update discontinuation notice is not an examination cessation notice. No PDF metadata or retrieval date is used as an effective date.
- Delivery
- Only the English online multiple-choice examination is in scope. The same catalogue row also permits paper delivery; that is not a separate examination. Partner-arranged sessions and online scheduling are subject to actual availability.
- Fees And Retakes
- The program includes examination and certificate fees in the training price. The current general policy includes an initial attempt and one free retake within its 12-month course-completion/purchase cycle; a failed initial attempt requires a 15-day wait. Actual prices and individual entitlements are not asserted.
- Scheduling
- After training, use the relevant course's Exam column in myPECB, select English and an available session, read the Exam Rules and Policies and Online Examinee Manual, then confirm scheduling. Sessions are published bi-weekly; fully booked sessions require another date. The requested 2026-11-25 through 2027-02-28 window is not a guaranteed appointment or reserved seat.
- Training
- Complete the PECB ISO 13485 Foundation training course; course prerequisites are None. The general no-specific-training policy expressly excepts Foundation Certificate Programs.
