Two tracks. One standard of proof.
Prepare your organization for ISO 42001 certification, or certify yourself as an AI governance leader. Both taught from inside the standards process.
ISO 42001 Certification
A six-week readiness program that takes your AI management system from first scoping to a passed mock audit, then coaches you through the real one.

Operate & evidence
- Run the system and collect the audit evidence
- Stand up the internal audit program, hold the first management review
Mock audit

The 42001 Institute prepares and coaches; it does not certify. Certification is issued by an independent accredited certification body, under ISO/IEC 42006, the requirements for those bodies that our founder helped shape. That independence is exactly what makes the certificate worth having.

Chief AI Officer (CAIO) Certification
Become an AI Governance Leader. A three-tier pathway from foundation to Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer.

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.

- Run AI risk management (ISO/IEC 23894) and impact assessments (ISO/IEC 42005)

Govern AI, not just deploy it.

- 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
