Staff are already using chatbots, scoring models and automated decisions, often without anyone checking for bias, privacy breaches, security weaknesses or unreliable output. Boards, regulators and customers now ask who is accountable. Ten days take you from first principles to a working governance programme, with no coding background required.
The first week explains how machine learning and generative AI work in plain terms, where they fail, and what responsible AI means in practice: fairness, transparency, accountability, privacy, safety and human oversight. You learn to inventory AI use, classify risk, run an AI impact assessment and write acceptable use rules. The second week turns to management systems. You study the ISO/IEC 42001 clauses and Annex controls, link them with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO 27001 and data protection duties, and plan roles, documentation, supplier due diligence, monitoring, incident response and internal audit. Compliance officers, risk managers, IT leaders, legal advisers, data teams, auditors and public sector managers will gain policies, registers and a certification-ready roadmap. Delivery is by classroom, online or in-house, with a CPD-accredited certificate.
Artificial intelligence has moved from research labs into everyday administration. Banks score loans with models, hospitals triage with algorithms, ministries pilot chatbots and employees paste confidential text into public tools. Each use carries legal, ethical and operational risk, and most organisations have no consistent way to approve, monitor or retire these systems.
The Fundamentals of AI Governance, Responsible AI and ISO 42001 Training Course is a ten-day foundation for people who must put guardrails in place, not build models. The opening days explain core AI concepts, the lifecycle of an AI system and the main harms: bias, opacity, privacy loss, security attacks, hallucination and over-reliance. Participants then study responsible AI principles and how they are translated into policies, roles, review boards and controls.
The later days cover the structure of ISO/IEC 42001, the first international management system standard for AI, together with related frameworks and emerging regulation. Participants practise scoping a system, risk and impact assessment, supplier evaluation, documentation and audit. The course ends with an integrated project in which each participant drafts a governance framework and implementation roadmap for a chosen organisation.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
