Description
About this Course
AI adoption is accelerating across every industry. The governance behind it isn't keeping pace - the EU AI Act is now in force, and most organisations are still building the accountability structures the law now expects of them. And while most AI programmes focus on how to use AI, AIGP focuses on how organisations govern it.
The Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional (AIGP) certification comes from the IAPP - the body behind the privacy certifications professionals have trusted for over two decades, and the first to certify AI governance. It equips professionals with the frameworks and practical knowledge to govern AI effectively, manage its risks, and stay ahead of regulation that changes by the quarter - with a curriculum updated in 2026 to cover generative and agentic AI.
Participants leave with more than a certification. They leave able to support responsible AI adoption, strengthen organisational readiness, and build trust in the AI their organisation ships.

Benefits for the professional.
The AIGP credential shows you've got the knowledge to build your organisation's AI governance structure from the ground up. It's the world's first certification in AI governance - and the person who holds it becomes the one the organisation turns to before any AI system ships.
- Be recognised as a qualified AI governance professional at the moment every industry is searching for one.
- Interpret AI-specific laws, including the EU AI Act, and translate them into policies your organisation can follow.
- Apply the major frameworks in practice - the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, the OECD principles for trustworthy AI, and the core ISO AI standards (22989, 42001 and 42005).
- Assess AI systems across their full life cycle, from use case and impact assessment through deployment, monitoring and incident management.
- Speak credibly to legal, technical and executive stakeholders - the cross-functional profile AI governance demands.
Benefits for the organization.
Companies that employ AIGP-certified professionals are better able to adopt AI with confidence - capturing the benefit while managing the legal, ethical and operational risk that comes with it.
- Build an AI governance programme with defined roles, accountability and cross-functional collaboration.
- Support responsible innovation without slowing business growth.
- Meet obligations under the EU AI Act and emerging AI laws, whether your organisation develops AI, deploys it, or both.
- Embed responsible AI principles - fairness, transparency, safety and human oversight - into every stage of development and deployment.
- Assess third-party AI vendors, licensing agreements and procurement risk before signing, not after.
- Create a common language between business, legal, compliance, security and technical teams.

Course Outline

Describes relevant global laws and discusses key points related to terminology, risk levels, requirements, governance and enforcement as laid out in AI-specific regulation.
Surveys the existing laws that govern AI, provides awareness of liability reform, and outlines how various legal frameworks, including data privacy and intellectual property laws, intersect with AI applications.
Explains considerations for planning, designing and building AI systems, including governing data collection and use in AI design and development.
Addresses best practices for the preparation and execution of AI deployment, as well as post-implementation activities.
