CAIO Certification
Become an AI Governance Leader — a three-tier pathway from foundation to Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer.
Three tiers — from foundation to the AI office.
Each tier stands alone and can be taken independently. Together they form the pathway from AI substance to AI command — with a 30-question multiple-choice assessment after every module.
AIFS
Artificial Intelligence Foundation Substance Certification
- Core AI and machine learning concepts, terminology, and system lifecycle
- Where AI creates value — and where it creates risk — across business functions
- Introduction to AI ethics, bias, transparency, and accountability
- The regulatory map: EU AI Act risk tiers and the ISO/IEC 42001 family
AIGP
Artificial Intelligence General Practitioner Certification
- Implement an AI management system (AIMS) under ISO/IEC 42001
- Run AI risk management (ISO/IEC 23894) and impact assessments (ISO/IEC 42005)
- Operationalize EU AI Act obligations: classification, documentation, human oversight
- Build AI inventories, policies, and controls that survive an audit
CAIO
Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer Certification
- Design enterprise AI strategy and stand up the AI office function
- Govern the AI portfolio: investment, vendor, and model risk decisions
- Lead certification and conformity assessment readiness from both sides of the audit
- Report AI risk and value to the board in the language directors act on
Built for the people who will govern AI at work.
IT, compliance, and the C-suite.
- IT specialists and managers building AI governance capability (AIFS/AIGP)
- Compliance, risk, privacy, and audit professionals extending into AI (AIGP)
- C-suite executives and future CAIOs taking enterprise ownership of AI (CAIO)
Blended, modular, standards-based.
- Modular, combined classroom and online learning
- Theory and practice embedding real-world challenges in corporate AI settings
- Continuous learning with sector-specific in-depth knowledge, toolkit, and practical AI skills
- Interaction with professional peers and professors from different industries
- Certification through a comprehensive 30-question multiple-choice assessment after each module
Govern AI — not just deploy it.
- The CAIO is the fastest-emerging role in the C-suite — and regulators are moving faster than org charts
- The EU AI Act is phasing into enforcement; ISO/IEC 42001 certification is becoming the market’s trust signal
- Organizations need leaders who can govern AI, not just deploy it
- Taught from inside the standards process — by contributors to ISO/IEC 42001, 23894, 42005, and 42006
- You learn the standard you’ll be measured against — and the rules governing those who measure you
