About the Course
The AI Governance Certification is built for AI governance owners, CISOs, compliance leaders, and security operations leaders who are accountable for AI systems they did not build. It shows them how to take governance out of policy documents and turn it into a practice their organization can run, repeat, and defend. Across eight modules, learners follow a customer-facing AI assistant from its first risk assessment to the day a change sends it back for review. Along the way, they learn to assess risk, turn policy into criteria a team can test, and decide who owns each decision. They also learn to match oversight to the risk a use case carries and to build evidence that holds up when a regulator, board, or customer asks for it. Each module pairs short videos with a hands-on activity and a scored assessment, and every assessment applies the module's skills to an AI use case the learner has not seen in the lessons, confirming the practice transfers rather than being memorized against a single example.
