About this ISO 42001 Foundation e-learning

The ISO/IEC 42001 Foundation e-learning course provided by PECB introduces you to the core elements of an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS). An AIMS is a management system that enables an organization to direct, control, and continually improve AI applications in a structured manner. ISO/IEC 42001 provides the framework to ensure AI governance is not managed on an ad hoc basis, but through clear governance structures, policies, risk management, and evaluation processes.

During this ISO 42001 Foundation training, you will gain insight into key components of ISO/IEC 42001, including:

• The context of the organization (why and for what purpose AI is used)
• Policies and roles and responsibilities
• AI risk management and planning
• Support and operational controls
• Performance evaluation, internal audits, management review, and continual improvement

Would you like to progress toward implementation or auditing after completing this Foundation course? Advancing to a Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor training is the logical next step.

Why follow the ISO 42001 Foundation training?

AI delivers speed and scalability, but it also requires demonstrable responsible management. Consider transparency, risk control, accountability, incident management, and improvement cycles. The ISO 42001 Foundation course provides a solid basis to actively participate in AI governance discussions and to ask the right questions within AI-related projects.

This ISO 42001 Foundation training will help you to:

• Understand the structure and terminology of ISO/IEC 42001
• Recognize the processes and controls required within an AIMS
• Understand the relationship between policy, risk, operations, and evaluation
• Prepare for further development toward implementation or auditing roles

Are you also working in information security or business continuity? Learning paths such as ISO 27001 (information security) and ISO 22301 (business continuity) often align closely with AI governance frameworks.

What you will learn (learning objectives)

After completing the ISO 42001 Foundation e-learning:

• You will be able to explain the fundamental concepts and principles of AI management
• You will understand the key ISO/IEC 42001 requirements for an AIMS
• You will recognize approaches, methods, and techniques used to implement, manage, and improve an AIMS
• You will be prepared to take the official PECB ISO/IEC 42001 Foundation exam

Who should attend this training?

The ISO 42001 Foundation e-learning is suitable for:

• Professionals seeking a general understanding of ISO/IEC 42001 requirements
• Managers and consultants who want to understand AI governance
• Staff involved in the implementation or management of AI systems
