Programme Overview
Regulators, enterprise clients and boards increasingly ask organisations to show how their AI is governed. ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard for AI management systems, and it is fast becoming the framework auditors and clients expect alongside the EU AI Act.
The ISO/IEC 42001 Implementer programme is a self-paced online programme that takes you step by step through implementing an AI Management System (AIMS) in your own organisation, from context and scope to internal audit and certification readiness.
This is not a theory course. It is a practical implementation programme for those who will design, run or oversee an AI management system.
Key Learnings: What You Will Master
Participants gain the capability to plan, implement and maintain an AI management system in line with ISO/IEC 42001.
Understand ISO/IEC 42001 and how an AI management system works in practice
Analyse organisational context and interested parties and define a defensible AIMS scope
Draft an AI policy and assign clear roles, responsibilities and authorities
Plan and run AI risk assessments, risk treatment and AI system impact assessments
Select controls and build a justified Statement of Applicability
Create and control the documented information and evidence auditors expect
Run internal audits and management reviews and manage corrective action
Prepare your organisation for the certification audit with a practical 90-day roadmap
Why This Course Matters
The EU AI Act is already in force, and organisations using AI are expected to show structured control over it. ISO/IEC 42001 provides the management system through which that control becomes visible, repeatable and auditable.
Organisations that implement now build trust with clients, regulators and partners. Those that wait risk audit findings, lost tenders and unclear accountability when something goes wrong.
This programme matters because it turns AI governance from good intentions into a working system you can demonstrate.
Who Should Attend
This programme is designed for professionals who will implement, run or oversee an AI management system, including:
AI governance, compliance and risk managers
Information security and ISO/IEC 27001 professionals extending into AI
Data protection officers, legal and quality managers
Consultants and internal auditors supporting AI governance
Certified AI Officers (CAIO) who want to lead ISO/IEC 42001 implementation
Outcome
Participants leave able to implement an AI management system aligned with ISO/IEC 42001, produce audit-ready evidence and prepare their organisation for certification.
Graduates can scope an AIMS, run AI risk and impact assessments, build a Statement of Applicability, lead internal audits and management reviews, and present a credible implementation roadmap to leadership.
Every course includes the shared IADM learner community, where we share updates and resources, and a dedicated contact person for your questions, including subject-matter questions. Individual discussions can be arranged on request.
