PECB Certified ISO 37001 Lead Implementer

The ISO 37001 Lead Implementer eLearning training course is designed to enable attendants to implement an anti-bribery management system (ABMS) based on the requirements of ISO 37001 and establish a framework for a sustainable management of actual or potential bribery situations.

Persons of malicious intent continually seek to sophisticate and improve their methods of wrongdoing, including bribery. In addition, the increasingly complex nature of modern day enterprises may sometimes put good-willing people into high-pressure situations and force them into taking or receiving bribery. ISO 37001 provides a structured methodology for organizations to combat such negative phenomena, and organizations have been finding this standard increasingly useful. This has increased the demand for ISO 37001 certification and, in turn, the demand for ISO 37001 implementers.

This training course aims to help an individual become competent in establishing, managing, and continually improving an anti-bribery management system (ABMS) based on ISO 37001 by using up-to-date industry best practices.

After attending the eLearning training course, you can take the exam. If you successfully pass, you can apply for a “PECB Certified ISO 37001 Lead Implementer” credential, which demonstrates your ability and practical knowledge to implement an ABMS based on the requirements of ISO 37001.
