This AI governance course provides a practical, non-technical framework for governing AI use in organisations. It is designed for leaders, managers, and decision-makers responsible for approving, guiding, or overseeing how AI is used in the workplace. Participants learn how to set accountability, manage AI risk, support transparency, align with regulation, and govern AI responsibly across its lifecycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AI governance?

AI governance refers to the policies, processes, accountabilities, and controls that organisations put in place to ensure AI is used responsibly, ethically, and in line with legal and regulatory obligations. It covers who approves AI use, how risks are managed, how decisions are documented, and how AI systems are monitored over their lifecycle.

What will I learn in this AI governance training?

In this AI governance training course you will learn how to establish decision authority and accountability for AI, manage AI risks such as bias and model drift, align AI use with regulatory requirements, apply transparency and assurance principles, define data governance controls, and design practical, risk-proportionate AI governance frameworks for your organisation.

Who should attend this AI governance course?

This AI governance course is designed for executives and senior leaders, board members, risk committees, government and enterprise decision-makers, and legal, risk, compliance, data, IT, and policy professionals. It is suitable for anyone accountable for approving or overseeing AI use in their organisation.

Do I need any technical AI knowledge before attending?

No prior technical knowledge or AI experience is required. This course takes a non-technical, governance-focused approach to artificial intelligence governance. It is designed for professionals who oversee AI use rather than those who build AI systems.

Can I take this AI governance course online?

Yes, this AI governance course is available remotely, face-to-face, or in hybrid formats to suit your needs. Our experienced trainers deliver engaging sessions in every format, with full participation and interaction throughout.

Will there be practical exercises during the course?

What is remote training?

Remote training means our experienced trainers deliver your course virtually via video conferencing. You can ask questions, participate in discussions, and engage with the trainer just as you would in a face-to-face classroom. You will have the same level of access and participation as an in-person attendee.
