ISO 42001 Specialist Course

Become a qualified specialist in AI management systems

Gain the knowledge and qualification to implement ISO/IEC 42001:2023 and support responsible AI governance in your organisation.

Course Overview

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). It helps organisations integrate AI governance into existing processes and leadership practices while balancing innovation with risk-based controls and compliance.

In this Specialist course you move beyond awareness to practical application: aligning policy, roles and objectives; defining and operating AI risk assessment and treatment; conducting AI system impact assessments; and applying reference controls from Annex A with implementation guidance from Annex B.

You’ll also learn how to monitor performance, prepare for internal audits and management reviews, and drive continual improvement and corrective action so your AIMS delivers results and remains effective over time.

Who this course is for

Ideal for professionals tasked with implementing AI governance and compliance. No prerequisites required.

  • AI and technology professionals
  • Governance, risk and compliance managers
  • Consultants and implementers
  • Policy and regulatory advisors
  • Business leaders adopting AI solutions

What you’ll learn

  • The structure, purpose and core requirements of ISO 42001 (AIMS)
  • How to integrate AIMS with existing processes (leadership, policy, roles, objectives)
  • AI risk assessment and treatment that link to Annex A controls and Annex B guidance
  • AI system impact assessments (AIIA) and when to apply them
  • Operational control, supplier/third-party considerations and responsible use objectives
  • Documented information requirements to build reliable evidence
  • Performance monitoring, internal audits, management review and continual improvement

What you’ll be able to do

  • Implement ISO 42001 requirements across your organisation
  • Establish AI policy, objectives and governance processes
  • Identify, evaluate and treat AI risks using a structured, repeatable approach
  • Apply impact assessments to safeguard people and society
  • Use downloadable templates to streamline compliance (case studies + assessments included)
  • Evidence accredited knowledge with a Certificate of Attainment

Qualification Pathways

Turn one step into two credentials. All ATOL ISO qualifications are stackable, helping you build momentum and open bigger opportunities without repeating content.

If you complete a Specialist course and have already achieved an Internal Auditor or Lead Auditor qualification, you’ll automatically be awarded both credentials. It also works the other way — complete a Specialist qualification first and later add Internal or Lead Auditor, and you’ll likewise hold both qualifications without duplicating effort.
