12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Even robust AI models face rejection when data origins can’t be clearly traced to compliance standards.

The situation this course is for

Data science teams deliver powerful models, but risk and compliance functions remain skeptical due to incomplete lineage records. This gap delays deployment, increases audit friction, and undermines board confidence, even when models perform well.

Who this is for

Mid-to-senior level professionals in data governance, AI risk, compliance, or technology leadership who influence or own AI system approvals in regulated environments.

Who this is not for

This is not for data scientists focused solely on model accuracy without governance integration, nor for executives seeking high-level overviews without implementation detail.

What you walk away with

  • Build end-to-end data lineage maps that satisfy internal and external audit requirements
  • Align AI documentation with board-level risk reporting standards
  • Implement version-controlled data tracking across model development and deployment
  • Reduce approval cycle times for AI initiatives by pre-empting compliance questions
  • Generate stakeholder confidence through transparent, repeatable data governance practices
