This advanced, Lead Auditor–level course provides a complete, clause-by-clause mastery of ISO/IEC 42001, enabling you to plan, lead, conduct, report, and close AI management system audits in line with international best practices.
Designed by ISO Xpert, this course goes beyond theory. It combines AI governance principles, ethical AI requirements, risk-based auditing, Annex A controls, and real-world audit scenarios to prepare you for internal audits, certification audits, and regulatory assessments.
You will learn how to audit the entire AI lifecycle—from data management and model development to deployment, monitoring, and continual improvement. Special focus is given to high-risk AI use cases, including Generative AI (LLMs), autonomous decision systems, healthcare AI, and recruitment AI.
By the end of this course, you will be fully equipped to act as an ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Auditor, support organizations in AI compliance and governance, and confidently prepare for Lead Auditor certification exams.
This course is ideal for auditors, consultants, compliance professionals, AI governance leaders, and anyone looking to build a future-proof career in responsible AI assurance.
