Delegates who attend URM's Practitioner Certificate in Information Risk Management training course will receive a training pack containing copies of all course slides. With each slide URM's consultants have supplied supporting notes (approved by the BCS ISEB) that act both as a useful revision tool for the ISEB examination and a reference library after the course. The training pack will also include a full set of practical exercises which delegates will complete through the week's course.

The first section contains ten multi-choice questions and six short answer questions. The second section involves answering three scenario based questions. The examination takes place on the final afternoon of the course. Delegates need to achieve a pass mark of 65% overall and in section one too to gain the qualification.
