12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Being questioned on governance choices without clear backing

The situation this course is for

In high-visibility roles, technical leads often face scrutiny from compliance, audit, or central architecture teams. Without documented reasoning, even solid decisions can be second-guessed, forcing rework or dilution of controls.

Who this is for

Senior technical lead implementing AI governance frameworks in regulated environments

Who this is not for

Entry-level testers, developers not involved in compliance artefacts, or leaders focused only on policy drafting without implementation.

What you walk away with

  • Clause-level understanding of ISO 42001 with cited sources for each control
  • Access to annotated SoA documents from prior implementations
  • Ability to reconstruct design rationale for audit or peer review
  • Patterns to map testing scope directly to ISO 42001 clauses
  • Pre-built responses to common challenges on AI risk categorisation
