What is the DORA certification?

A practical, regulation-anchored credential — not a generic completion badge.

Regulation-anchored

Every lesson cites the relevant DORA articles and RTS/ITS technical standards — so what you learn maps directly to what auditors check.

Scored & assessed

Each programme ends in a timed exam. Pass the mark and you earn a certificate with your score — a real proof of competence.

Verifiable

A unique certificate ID and QR code link to a public verification page, so any employer can confirm it in seconds.

LinkedIn-ready

Add the credential to your LinkedIn profile in one click, or share it to your feed with a designed badge.

From ISO 27001 to DORA

Already run an ISO 27001 ISMS? It is the natural roadmap to DORA — and our Programme Manager certification maps the two in full.

What ISO 27001 already gives you

A risk methodology, asset inventory, Statement of Applicability, incident, access, supplier and continuity controls, plus the audit & management-review machinery — much of DORA Pillar 1 and parts of Pillars 2–4 map straight onto your ISMS.

The DORA delta to add

Regulatory incident reporting (4h / 72h / 1 month), Threat-Led Penetration Testing, the Register of Information, Article 30 contractual provisions and CTPP oversight — the parts ISO 27001 does not cover.

The DORA Programme Manager certification teaches exactly this bridge — a full DORA↔ISO 27001 control mapping, the regulatory delta, and the priorities and quick wins to deliver it on time.

A certificate employers can verify

Every graduate gets a unique-ID certificate, a public QR verification link, and a LinkedIn badge.

  • Unique certificate ID (e.g. DORA-2026-XXXXXXXX)
  • QR code → public verification page
  • “Add to LinkedIn profile” + share-to-feed buttons
  • Downloadable PDF, A4, with your score
Verify a certificate →

How verification works

Anyone — an employer, a recruiter, an auditor — can confirm a certificate in seconds.

  1. Each certificate is issued with a unique ID and a QR code at the moment the exam is passed.
  2. The QR code (and the printed link) point to the public verification page on this site.
  3. Entering the certificate ID returns the holder's name, the programme and the completion date.
  4. A valid record shows an authenticity confirmation; revoked or unknown IDs are flagged.
  5. The holder can also add the credential to LinkedIn, where it links back to the same verification.

Become DORA-certified

Nine self-paced certification programmes (one free). Each ends in a verifiable certificate with a unique ID, QR check and LinkedIn badge — lifetime access.

DORA certification — FAQ

What is the DORA certification?
A set of self-paced professional certification programmes covering the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) — its five pillars, RTS/ITS technical standards and role-specific obligations. Each programme ends in a scored exam and a verifiable certificate with a unique ID and QR check.
Is there a free DORA certification?
Yes. The DORA Fundamentals Certification is free — it covers the five pillars, key requirements and deadlines, and issues a verifiable PDF certificate. Eight further expert credentials are available from €49 to €99.
Is the certificate verifiable by employers?
Yes. Every certificate carries a unique ID and a QR code that link to a public verification page, where anyone can confirm the holder, the programme and the completion date. You can also add the credential to your LinkedIn profile in one click.
Who should get DORA-certified?
Compliance and risk officers, contract and procurement managers, incident and SOC teams, third-party/vendor managers, TLPT testers, and programme/implementation leads at EU financial entities and their ICT providers. There is a tailored programme for each role.
How long does it take?
Each programme is self-paced and takes roughly 2.5 to 3.5 hours of study plus the exam. You keep lifetime access, so you can revisit the material as the regulation and RTS/ITS evolve.
How much does it cost?
The foundation course is free. The expert programmes range from €49 to €99 as a one-time payment with lifetime access and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Will a DORA certification be valued by employers?
Yes. Banks, insurers and financial institutions across the EU are scaling their DORA capability fast and increasingly look for exactly this profile — ICT risk, third-party, incident reporting, TLPT, programme delivery. A verifiable DORA credential makes your expertise visible on your CV and LinkedIn and gets you recognised as someone who can own operational resilience. Every programme is regulation-anchored, citing the DORA articles and RTS/ITS, so what you prove maps straight onto the roles employers are hiring for.
