Organisations are deploying machine learning, chatbots and generative AI faster than they can govern them, and boards, regulators, customers and donors are asking who is accountable when a model gets it wrong. Experienced practitioners who can turn principles into controls are in short supply. Ten days give you the depth to build an AI management system rather than a policy that sits unread.
The first week covers the AI lifecycle, risk taxonomies, fairness, transparency, explainability, privacy, security and human oversight, together with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, the OECD AI principles and the EU AI Act risk tiers as reference points. The second week works through ISO/IEC 42001 clause by clause: context, leadership, AI policy, objectives, impact assessment, Annex A controls, supplier management, internal audit and certification readiness, with integration into ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 systems. Labs include building an AI inventory, scoring model risk, testing for bias and writing a model card. Risk and compliance managers, data science leads, chief information officers, internal auditors, legal counsel and public sector digital officers will benefit. Classroom, online and in-house formats earn a CPD-accredited certificate, and you finish with an implementation plan.
Artificial intelligence now influences credit decisions, hiring, diagnosis, fraud detection, citizen services and customer conversations. With that reach come new exposures: biased outcomes, opaque decisions, leaked data, hallucinated advice and dependence on third-party models that the organisation does not control. Regulation is emerging in many jurisdictions, and large buyers increasingly ask suppliers for evidence of AI governance.
The Professional AI Governance, Responsible AI & ISO 42001 Training Course is a ten-day programme for practitioners who must design, operate or assure that governance. The first half builds the foundations: how AI systems are built and fail, how to categorise risk, how to apply responsible AI principles to real use cases and how to organise roles, committees and policies. The second half focuses on the management system standard ISO/IEC 42001, showing how to scope an AI management system, perform AI impact assessments, implement controls, monitor performance and prepare for internal and external audit.
Participants work throughout on a case organisation, producing the artefacts an auditor would expect to see. By the end they have a tested set of documents, a risk register and a phased implementation plan, as well as the confidence to explain governance choices to technical teams and executives alike.
After the ten days, participants will be able to:
