Who it is for
The person who will own AI governance, heads of AI, CISOs extending their remit, compliance leads and consultants building an AI management system.
Prerequisites
A general knowledge of AI management systems and of ISO/IEC 42001.
What you will be able to do
- 01Scope an AI management system across systems you build and systems you merely use.
- 02Build and maintain an AI inventory that reflects reality rather than procurement records.
- 03Assess AI-specific risk, including impact on the people affected by a system.
- 04Design human oversight that is operable rather than nominal.
- 05Produce the evidence trail an auditor and a regulator will each ask for.
- 06Map one body of work to both ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act instead of running two programmes.
What is covered
The case for an AIMS
What ISO/IEC 42001 certifies and how it differs from ISO/IEC 27001.
Scope and inventory
Drawing the boundary and finding what is already in use.
AI risk and impact assessment
Risk to the organisation and impact on individuals.
Controls and oversight
The Annex A controls, human oversight, data and model management.
Evidence and lifecycle
Logging, monitoring, incident handling and retirement.
Mapping to the EU AI Act
Where conformity work overlaps and where it does not.
Certification audit preparation
What the audit examines and what it asks to see.
Exam
Sat at the end of the course and included in the price.
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.

2 days
ISO/IEC 42001 Foundation
Two days on what ISO/IEC 42001 is and what an AI management system actually governs. The shortest route to a shared vocabulary across a group of people who currently mean different things when they say AI governance.
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.

Thirty minutes with a senior practitioner. No slideware, no sales engineer.
