Master the implementation and management of an AI management system aligned with ISO/IEC 42001, from risk assessment and governance through control implementation and continual improvement. One certification, three ways to earn it: study the official materials on your own schedule, add guided video to them, or attend five fixed days live-online with a PECB Platinum Trainer. The PECB certification exam and the certificate are included in every option.

ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard for an artificial intelligence management system (AIMS). It provides a structured framework for governing how an organization develops, deploys and manages AI responsibly, covering risk, fairness, transparency and continual oversight across the AI lifecycle. As AI adoption accelerates across every sector, regulators, customers and boards ask the same question: show that the AI in use is actually governed.
Organizations rolling out AI need people who can turn that governance requirement into a working system. This course builds that competency directly: you learn how to scope an AIMS, translate AI strategy into an implementation plan, manage AI-specific risks, and prepare an organization for third-party certification audit. These are the same practical skills employers expect from someone responsible for AI governance.
All three formats cover the identical PECB curriculum and lead to the identical exam and credential. The difference is how the material reaches you and how much of your calendar it claims.

Choose live-online when you have an AIMS to build and want a trainer to answer the questions your own use cases raise. Choose a self-paced format when the certification matters and the five consecutive days do not fit.
Every format leads to the same exam: the PECB Certified ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Implementer exam. What differs is which credential you can apply for afterward, based on your prior professional experience. There’s no separate exam or extra study required for a higher tier. It’s the same certification, recognized at a level that matches your background.
| Credential | Experience required | AIMS project experience |
|---|---|---|
| Provisional Implementer | None | None |
| Implementer | 2 years (1 in AI) | 200+ hours |
| Lead Implementer | 5 years (2 in AI) | 300+ hours |
| Senior Lead Implementer | 10 years (7 in AI) | 1,000+ hours |
New to the field? You’ll qualify for Provisional Implementer immediately after passing, a fully valid PECB credential, and can apply for a higher tier later as your experience grows, without retaking the course.
