One purchase

The whole of DORA, for one person

The person who leads DORA in a financial entity answers to the board, negotiates contract clauses with procurement, classifies incidents with the security operations team, scopes testing and keeps the Register of Information. The Masterclass trains you for each of those conversations, and hands you the documents to act on them.

  • All 20 certifications, each with its exam and a certificate anyone can verify.
  • 8 working documents: gap analysis, policies, Register of Information, board pack and more, editable.
  • A route for your role, recalculated each time you pass an exam.
  • Two summit credentials within reach: DORA Master and DORA Masterclass Certified.

DORA lands on every desk

A single certification covers one of these conversations. Whoever leads DORA has to hold all of them, so the Masterclass includes the certification behind each one.

Management body

Answer for the framework

Article 5 makes the management body define, approve and oversee the ICT risk management framework, and keep its own knowledge up to date.

★★★★★
Worth Every Module
“The DORA Master Expert Certification was a valuable learning journey that strengthened my understanding of the Digital Operational Resilience Act and its practical application in the financial sector. I gained insights into ICT risk management, governance and management body responsibilities, incident classification and reporting, digital operational resilience testing, TLPT, ICT third-party risk management, the oversight framework, and regulatory technical standards (RTS) and implementing technical standards (ITS). The certification helped me connect regulatory requirements with real-world implementation challenges, compliance expectations, and operational resilience practices. A proud milestone in my continuous learning journey, with many more opportunities ahead to deepen my expertise and explore new horizons in DORA!”

It helped me understand how realistic cyberattack simulations can uncover weaknesses and improve an organisation’s resilience. I gained valuable insights into testing, identifying risks, and strengthening cybersecurity preparedness. Looking forward to exploring more areas of DORA and digital operational resilience!”

Get the Masterclass

The three dearest certifications bought separately come to €647, more than the Masterclass.

Buying it through your employer

DORA makes digital operational resilience training compulsory for staff (Article 13(6)), which is usually how this purchase gets approved.

Pay by card, invoice to the company

Enter the company name and VAT number at checkout. EU businesses with a valid VAT number are reverse-charged, and a VAT invoice is issued automatically.

Go to checkout →

Ask your manager

A ready-written request opens in your mail client: what the Masterclass contains, the DORA articles that make training an obligation, and a link to this page.

Write the request →

Purchase order or a team

For a quote, a purchase order or a bank transfer, write to us. For several people, buy seats: the price per seat falls with the size of the team, and one manager assigns them.

Questions before you buy

What exactly is included?
All 20 paid certification programmes of the DORA Academy, each with its lessons, its exam and a verifiable certificate; the 8 documents listed on this page; the personalised programme at /academy/programme; and eligibility for the DORA Masterclass Certified credential once every exam is passed. The DORA Fundamentals course is free for everyone and is not part of the price.
Do I have to take all 20 certifications?
No. Every certification stands on its own and you sit them in the order you choose. The personalised programme orders them for your role, goal and timeline. DORA Master is reached at 1,000 points, which takes 5 to 8 certifications depending on the ones you choose. DORA Masterclass Certified is the one credential that requires every exam.
How long does it take?
Each programme takes 2 to 3 hours of study plus its exam, about 45 hours for all of them. It is self-paced: there is no cohort, no deadline and nothing to attend live.
How long do I keep access?
Course access does not expire, so you can return to the material as the technical standards evolve. The documents arrive by e-mail with download buttons valid for 30 days, and a personal downloads page that does not expire.
How do the exams and certificates work?
Each programme ends in a timed, scored exam marked on our server. Reach the pass mark and the certificate is issued at once, in your name, with a unique ID and a public verification page; a score of 90% or more earns a Distinction. If you miss the pass mark you can sit the exam again.
Is the certificate recognised by competent authorities?
It is a private professional credential issued by Cryptaguard SRL (DORA Academy), not a qualification issued by an EU body or a competent authority. DORA requires training (Article 13(6)) and management-body knowledge of ICT risk (Article 5(4)) but prescribes no particular certificate. What the certificate gives an employer is evidence: the programme, your score and the date, verifiable by anyone.
Can my company pay for it?
Yes. Enter the company name and its VAT number at checkout: EU businesses with a valid VAT number are reverse-charged and receive a VAT invoice automatically. For a purchase order, a quote or a bank transfer, write to us. To equip several people, buy seats: the price per seat falls with the size of the team.
Does a promotion code work on it?
No. No code applies to the Masterclass, so the price is the same for everyone. Mastery Path rank codes and graduate codes work on the individual certifications.
Can I get a refund?
The terms of service apply: course purchases are refundable within 14 days if less than 20% of the course content has been accessed, and downloadable documents are not refundable once downloaded. Write to us through the contact form.
What is the difference with Practitioner Complete?
Practitioner Complete (€850 excl. VAT) contains the Masterclass and adds the RTS/ITS reference dossier, the white-label consultant toolkit you may re-brand for clients, and the five per-pillar workbooks. It is built for consultants. If you run DORA inside one financial entity, the Masterclass is the complete set.
