The ISEB run a large number of professional qualifications in a wide range of areas. They are split into four main areas each sub-divided into two sectors. This talk will look at the overall structure and then take a more detailed look at the security sector where the exams Andy Taylor (speaker) helps to manage lie.

Andy will look at the principles behind the three security exams, their structures and then discuss what the examiner is looking for in each of the exams. There will be ample time for questions at the end.

Speaker :
