Who this is for
Engineering Technicians in defense, aerospace, and critical infrastructure sectors who implement and maintain systems governed by international standards, especially as AI integration grows more common in operational environments.
Who this is not for
Managers seeking high-level overviews, executives wanting board narratives, or software developers focused only on model training. This course is for practitioners who must embed compliance into technical execution.
