Before you learn the theory, see how it works in practice. A visual walkthrough of a working AI Release Readiness Platform showing the complete governance journey — from use case registration and regulatory mapping through release gates, live monitoring and automatic reassessment when a policy threshold is crossed. Every concept you learn in Modules 1 through 4 has a home in this workflow.
Master what AI is and why it needs governance. This module covers AI definitions (ISO 22989), the four types of machine learning, the AI hierarchy from machine learning through deep learning, discriminative vs generative models, AI agents and multi-agent systems, the seven AI characteristics that create governance needs, ten AI risks, four levels of harm, six responsible AI principles, seven governance roles, three governance models, cross-functional collaboration, the AI policy framework, and third-party AI governance. You will understand how to set up a complete governance programme before any AI development begins.
By the end of this module, you will be able to:
Define AI and distinguish it from conventional software
Identify all four ML types and their governance implications
Understand AI Techniques and Agentic AI
Map the seven AI characteristics to the ten AI risks
Establish governance roles, models and cross-functional collaboration
Create AI policies covering privacy, security, IP and data governance
Govern third-party AI through the four-stage control framework
Templates included: AI Governance Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Committee Charter, Risk Tolerance Statement, Pre-Procurement Checklist
Navigate every law, standard and framework the exam tests. This module covers the EU AI Act (risk tiers, prohibited practices, high-risk requirements with article numbers, conformity assessment, four roles, GPAI obligations, FRIA, penalties), GDPR (principles, special categories, automated decision-making, DPIA), privacy laws across jurisdictions (CCPA, DPDPA, PDPL), non-discrimination laws (Title VII, ADA, ECOA, Fair Housing Act, Equality Act, Employment Equity Act), consumer protection, product liability, IP and copyright with indemnification, US sector laws (FCRA, HIPAA, COPPA, FTC Act, SR 11-7), AI-specific laws (South Korea, Colorado, Texas, Italy, Vietnam, US federal policy, emerging global laws), and standards (OECD Principles, OECD Classification Framework, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, 42005, 22989).
By the end of this module, you will be able to:
Classify any AI system into the correct EU AI Act risk tier
Identify every applicable law for a given AI deployment scenario
Distinguish FRIA from DPIA and know when each is required
Explain the obligations of Providers, Deployers, Importers and Distributors
Apply GDPR automated decision-making rights to AI scenarios
Identify the three ways AI can violate the ADA
Negotiate the ten governance-critical terms in vendor agreements
Map governance activities to the NIST AI RMF four functions
Explain why ISO 42001 is the only certifiable AI management system
Templates included: Regulatory Applicability Matrix, FRIA Template, DPIA Addendum, Vendor Agreement Checklist
Govern the full AI development lifecycle from planning through release. This module covers the iterative lifecycle, the six-step planning sequence, three impact assessments, the five-step risk management process with the probability/severity matrix and mitigation hierarchy, benchmarking and pre-deployment pilots, four ethical design pillars, human oversight models (in/on/out-of-the-loop), Three Lines of Defence, design documentation, AI-specific cybersecurity threats, data governance (formats, lifecycle, Article 10 quality dimensions, lineage and provenance, synthetic data, privacy-preserving techniques), TEVV framework, model training, hyperparameter tuning, seven testing types, the confusion matrix, precision/recall/F1/accuracy, overfitting and underfitting, release readiness, continuous monitoring, model drift, incident management, and post-deployment transparency.
By the end of this module, you will be able to:
Plan an AI system following the six-step governance sequence
Calculate risk scores and apply the mitigation hierarchy correctly
Assess data quality against all five Article 10 dimensions
Apply the TEVV framework to structure testing and validation
Interpret a confusion matrix and prioritise the right metric for each scenario
Prepare all three release readiness components (model card, conformity, checklist)
Monitor deployed AI across four dimensions and respond to drift
Manage AI incidents through the eight-element policy framework
Templates included: Use Case Assessment, Risk Register, Data Governance Checklist, Data Lineage Documentation, Model Card, Testing Plan, Pre-Release Governance Checklist, Incident Management Policy
Most AIGP courses teach you how to pass an exam. This course teaches you how to pass the exam AND govern AI in practice.
Every concept in this course is aligned to the IAPP AIGP Body of Knowledge v2.1 (effective 2 February 2026). All four domains are covered comprehensively with real-world examples, exam alerts on every topic, and practical governance frameworks you can apply immediately.
But here is what makes this course different from every other AIGP course on Udemy.
You do not just learn what a Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment is. You download a ready-to-use FRIA template and watch it being completed in a healthcare case study. You do not just learn the ten terms that should be in a vendor agreement. You download a Vendor Agreement Checklist and see exactly when and how it is used when a bank contracts with an AI provider. You do not just learn the six stages of incident response. You watch a real incident unfold in a hospital setting and see the Incident Management Policy activated step by step.
Before you learn a single concept, you will see a complete AI governance workflow in action through a live platform walkthrough — from use case registration and regulatory mapping through release gates, live monitoring and automatic reassessment when a policy threshold is crossed. Every concept you learn in Modules 1 through 4 has a home in that workflow.
This course includes 23 downloadable governance templates spanning the full AI lifecycle, from your first AI Governance Policy through to the final Decommissioning Checklist. These can serve as reference for your governance toolkit.
No other AIGP course offers this. Study guides teach you theory. Templates give you practice. This course gives you both.
What is included:
Comprehensive video lectures covering all four AIGP domains
Live AI Governance Platform walkthrough — see the end-to-end workflow before you learn the theory
23 downloadable governance templates — ready to use at work
200+ scenario-based practice questions including two full 100-question practice exams
200 pages of downloadable study materials (study notes, exam quick reference, BoK navigation guide, case study notes)
5 end-to-end industry case studies (healthcare, financial services, education, recruitment, legal)
In-section quizzes after every lecture to check understanding
Exam alerts on every topic showing exactly what the exam tests
Template-to-case study mapping showing when to use each template in the governance lifecycle
Your AIGP exam preparation is fully covered. Your first day as an AI governance professional is too.
