Is the certification exam included?
Yes. The ISO/TS 31050 Emerging Risks Manager course includes the PECB certification exam, along with the official training materials. If you do not pass on the first attempt, you qualify for a free retake within 12 months.
The certification exam is part of the course, not a separate purchase. When you enrol in the ISO/TS 31050 Emerging Risks Manager training you are enrolling in the path to the credential, which means the two-hour PECB exam is included in what you pay.
The exam itself is multiple-choice, runs for two hours, and requires a score of 70 percent to pass. It can be sat online through PECB, and it covers the three competence domains taught across the two days, so the training and the assessment are aligned by design rather than tested against unrelated material.
A first-attempt result is not the end of the road if it does not go your way. The course includes a free retake within 12 months, which removes the pressure of a single sitting and gives you a clear second chance without an extra fee. Participants also receive more than 300 pages of official training materials to prepare with and keep.
What sits outside the course fee is the PECB certification application step that follows a passing result, where you submit your professional experience and agree to the code of ethics. That is a standard part of every PECB credential rather than something specific to this course.

What is an emerging risk, and how does it differ from a conventional risk?
An emerging risk is a threat that is developing but not yet well understood, with no reliable history to estimate how likely it is or how hard it will hit. A conventional risk is already known and can be measured against past data. The difference matters because standard risk tools tend to overlook emerging risks until they are already causing damage.
