Spend 80+ hours scrambling before audits to compile evidence across teams?

The situation this course is for

Technical practitioners like you are expected to produce clean, cross-functional AI governance artifacts for review, but without a clear framework, that means rework, last-minute chasing, and fragmented ownership. Especially under regulator or internal audit cycles, the burden falls on those closest to implementation.

Who this is for

Mid-level IT and compliance practitioners at federal contractors and government-facing tech firms who are informally leading AI governance efforts without formal authority, needing a standards-based playbook to gain influence and reduce audit burden.

Who this is not for

Executives looking for high-level AI strategy only; vendors selling AI tools; professionals outside regulated or compliance-driven environments.

What you walk away with

  • Produce a complete ISO 42001-aligned governance package in under 10 hours
  • Lead cross-functional alignment on AI controls without formal authority
  • Turn infrastructure-level AI use into auditable policy contributions
  • Reduce pre-audit workload by 85% with reusable templates and checklists
  • Become the internal reference for AI governance artifacts across teams
