ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Implementer (PECB)

A five-day PECB course on planning, implementing and running an AI management system to ISO/IEC 42001, with the certification exam on the final day.

Once an organisation starts using artificial intelligence, questions about accountability, risk and documentation follow quickly. ISO/IEC 42001 sets the requirements for an artificial intelligence management system (AIMS), and this course teaches you how to put one in place. You work through leadership commitment and scope, then risk management, controls, operation and preparation for a certification audit.

  • You, if you are responsible for overseeing and managing AI projects
  • Consultants advising others on AI implementation strategies
  • Expert advisers and specialists who want to master the practical implementation of an AI management system in accordance with ISO/IEC 42001
  • You, if your task is to make sure AI projects meet the organisation's AI requirements
  • Members of implementation teams working on AI systems
  • Executives and managers making informed decisions about AI implementation and its alignment with ISO/IEC 42001

After passing, you can apply for one of the PECB credentials for ISO/IEC 42001: Provisional Implementer, which has no experience requirement, then Implementer, Lead Implementer and Senior Lead Implementer, depending on your years of professional experience and project hours in artificial intelligence management. Each credential requires you to sign the PECB Code of Ethics. The course carries 31 CPD credits, and if you do not pass the exam on the first attempt you may retake it once within twelve months.
