Exam

The exam and the certificate
The exam is sat at the end of the course and is included in the price. Certification is issued by PECB following successful examination and verification of professional experience against PECB’s published requirements, which vary by credential level. We tell candidates in advance where their experience may fall short of the credential they are aiming at.
The same examination leads to a graded credential, from Provisional through to Senior, and the grade you receive depends on your documented professional experience and project involvement, not on your exam mark. We tell candidates before they book which grade their experience currently supports.

Other courses on this track
5 days
ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Implementer
Five days on building and running an AI management system to ISO/IEC 42001, the first certifiable international standard for AI governance. Taught by a Senior Lead Implementer who is doing this work in live engagements, not reading the standard aloud.
5 days
ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Auditor
Five days on auditing an AI management system, following ISO 19011 audit principles and ISO/IEC 17021-1. Auditing AI raises an evidence problem that does not arise in an ISMS audit, because a model's behaviour is not a document, and that problem is most of what this course is about.
1 day (6 hours)
AI literacy for executives
One day with your executive committee. Half of it is spent using AI on your own material, a board paper, a decision note, an analysis you actually owe someone, and half deciding what the company is going to do about it. No lecture, and no slide deck to take away. Up to twelve participants.
Leave with your top three risks documented
Thirty minutes with a senior practitioner. No slideware, no sales engineer.
