ISO/IEC 42001 Foundation

The Foundation course is the entry point to ISO/IEC 42001, the international standard for AI management systems (AIMS). Over two days it walks teams through how an AIMS is structured and run — setting context and policy, managing AI risk, supporting and operating the system, evaluating performance, and improving it through internal audits and management reviews. It is the right starting point before taking on an implementation or audit role.
