Delegates will be required to have their own copy of ISO/IEC 27001:2005 in completing the pre course assignment and for use during the on-site training course

Kelmac Group Pre Course Assignment Policy

The Kelmac Group® policy is each delegate shall successfully complete the pre-course assignment prior to the start date and time of the planned class start date. If a delegate does not successfully complete the pre-course assignment by this specified time, the delegate may not be allowed attend the planned class and the delegate may be required to book on the next available class. If a Delegate is permitted to attend a planned class and they have not successfully completed the pre- course assignment prior to the start date and time of the class they are expected to successfully complete the pre-course assignment by the end of day 1. The rationale is to ensure no delegate has an unfair advantage compared to another delegate and that the delegate can demonstrate they meet the relevant prior knowledge requirements for the course.
Each delegate is expected to get an overall grade of 70% in the pre-course assignment to fully satisfy the pre-course assignment requirement. Delegates who get an overall grade of 55% will be allowed to attend the planned class but will be required to complete additional graded assignments during the class delivery. Any delegate who gets an overall grade less than 55% will not be allowed to attend the class until they meet the minimum grade necessary to meet the pre-course assignment requirement.
