- One additional 60-minute practitioner session
- Discuss AIMS scope, AI risk and impact assessment, controls and implementation evidence with an Aegentra consultant who delivers ISO 42001 implementation engagements. Bring questions about your AI use case or project. This additional session is arranged separately at a mutually agreed time.
- One month of Labs practice included
- One month of Aegentra Labs practice for ISO 42001 Lead Implementer, with unlimited attempts at the available practice questions during your access period. This is included in the one-to-one package; the separate A$89 add-on offers 12 months of access.
Aegentra Labs provides independently authored supplementary practice, not official PECB examination questions. Unlimited attempts apply to Labs practice, not the PECB examination.
If you are new to AI governance or taking on your first AIMS project, we recommend considering this format for the opportunity to question, discuss and apply the material with guidance. Self-Study and eLearning remain flexible independent options; they do not include these scheduled teaching and consultant sessions.
Before payment, we confirm your assigned instructor, eLearning and Labs access arrangements, examination arrangements and booking terms. This is private online training, not a scheduled group classroom course. The consultant session provides educational guidance, not a complete AIMS implementation or certification audit.

From AI governance requirements to an operating AIMS
An artificial intelligence management system gives an organisation a structured way to govern how it develops, provides or uses AI. The implementation work connects responsibilities, risks, impacts and controls to evidence that can be reviewed and improved. This course focuses on building that system, not on coding AI models.
- Define AIMS scope, responsibilities, policy and objectives around the organisation's AI activities.
- Connect the AI inventory to risk assessment, impact assessment and control decisions.
- Plan evidence for data governance, suppliers, lifecycle processes and human oversight.
- Establish performance monitoring, internal audit, management review and improvement.
Is this course right for you?
This course is relevant to AI-governance, risk, privacy, security and technology professionals who will help establish or improve an AIMS. PECB expects a general understanding of AIMS concepts and ISO/IEC 42001. Foundation is not a mandatory prerequisite, but it can be a useful starting point if the terminology is entirely new. You do not need to be a machine-learning developer; you do need to understand the AI activities and governance decisions you will be assessing.
Day 1: Understand the AIMS and start the implementation
Examine the purpose of ISO/IEC 42001, the organisation's AI activities and the people affected by them. Establish the business case, project responsibilities and implementation approach. Identify the information needed to define a meaningful scope rather than treating every AI tool as an isolated policy issue.
Day 2: Plan the system, risks and controls
Connect context, interested parties, leadership, policy and objectives to an implementation plan. Consider AI risks and impacts, determine appropriate treatment and explain control decisions in the Statement of Applicability. Distinguish risks to the organisation from impacts on individuals, groups and society.
Day 3: Put the AIMS into operation
Work through documented processes, resources, competence and communication. Consider AI lifecycle activities, data, suppliers, transparency and human oversight. Focus on what people need to do, who is accountable and what operating evidence will demonstrate that the chosen controls are working.
Day 4: Evaluate, improve and prepare for certification
Bring together monitoring, internal audit, management review and corrective action. Identify gaps between written intentions and operating evidence, and plan improvements. Understand the preparation needed for an independent certification audit without treating course completion as organisational certification.
PECB's published agenda identifies four teaching days followed by an examination day. The private offer on this page includes four teaching days plus a separate 60-minute consultant session. Your examination arrangements are confirmed separately; the four-day teaching schedule is not a promise of certification within four days.
Understand the examination and the credential you can apply for
Passing the PECB examination allows you to apply for the credential tier supported by your experience. It does not automatically award the Lead Implementer credential and does not certify an organisation's AI management system.
| Examination | Current facts |
|---|---|
| Format | Open-book multiple choice, with stand-alone and scenario-based questions |
| Questions | 80 across six competency domains |
| Duration | Three hours |
| Pass mark | 70%, not an Aegentra learner pass rate |
| Delivery | Remote online or another PECB-approved examination method |
| Included retake | One free retake within the applicable PECB cycle, subject to PECB conditions |
Check PECB's current examination rules, permitted materials and booking instructions before your sitting. One free retake is not an unlimited-resit promise. The applicable waiting period and eligibility conditions still apply.
What do the six examination domains cover?
- AIMS principles and concepts.
- AIMS requirements.
- Planning implementation.
- Implementing the AIMS.
- Monitoring and measuring performance.
- Improvement and preparation for certification audit.
Which credential tier matches my experience?
| PECB ISO/IEC 42001 tier | Professional experience | Relevant experience | AIMS project experience |
|---|---|---|---|
| Provisional Implementer | No experience threshold | No experience threshold | No project-hour threshold |
| Implementer | Two years | One year in AI management | 200 hours |
| Lead Implementer | Five years | Two years in AI management | 300 hours |
| Senior Lead Implementer | Ten years | Seven years in AI management | 1,000 hours |
All tiers require the applicable examination and application requirements, including the PECB Code of Ethics. This summary uses the candidate handbook and certification-scheme terminology. PECB's course page describes relevant AI experience more broadly; PECB assesses the actual experience and project evidence you submit. Attendance at this course or the consultant session does not automatically satisfy the project-hour requirements.
How can I verify the certification scheme?
PECB's ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Implementer personnel-certification scheme is listed in its UKAS ISO/IEC 17024 accreditation scope. That accreditation concerns PECB's personnel-certification scheme. It is not accreditation of Aegentra or certification of your organisation. Check the current scope and application requirements directly with the issuing bodies.
What happens after certification?
PECB sets the applicable certification period, continuing professional-development requirements and maintenance fees. Its current partner-course policy includes the initial certification application and the first year of the Annual Maintenance Fee where applicable, subject to its completion and application deadlines. This does not mean lifetime certification or that future maintenance fees are included. Check PECB's current conditions for your credential tier.

Inspect Aegentra's free AIMS templates and worked examples alongside your course research. They show how information flows from an AI inventory into assessment, control decisions and evidence. These are Aegentra-authored educational resources, separate from official PECB materials, and must be adapted to each organisation.
AI system impact assessment
Examine who may be affected, the potential beneficial and adverse impacts, and how the organisation will evaluate and respond to them. Keep this distinct from a security-only risk assessment.
Statement of Applicability
Follow the worked applicability decisions, control status and evidence fields. The example considers all 38 Annex A reference controls; an organisation must justify its own necessary controls and applicability decisions.

Explore free practice questions, answer explanations and the sourced exam guide in Aegentra Labs. No paid Labs subscription or course purchase is required to start. Full exam preparation is optional and can be added in the enrolment section.
Labs is independently authored supplementary practice. It is not official PECB content, does not reproduce confidential or recalled examination questions, and does not guarantee a result.
A practical question: what proves that human oversight works?
Consider a fictional organisation using an AI assistant to draft customer responses. A policy that says “a person checks the answer” is only a starting point. The implementation needs to establish who reviews the output, what they check, when they must reject or escalate it and what records are retained. Testing and monitoring then show whether those arrangements work for the intended use.
Connecting that decision to the inventory, impact assessment, supplier information and control evidence makes the AIMS more than a collection of documents. This is an illustrative learning example, not a claim about a completed client engagement or a description of confidential examination questions.

How does an AIMS relate to Australian AI guidance?
Australia's National AI Centre organises its Guidance for AI Adoption around six essential practices. The mapping below is Aegentra's explanatory cross-reference: it shows where AIMS activities can help organise relevant work and evidence, not a government-approved equivalence or a statement of legal compliance.
| Official practice | Practical AIMS connection |
|---|---|
| Decide who is accountable | Define ownership, decision rights and escalation responsibilities. |
| Understand impacts and plan accordingly | Consider affected people, intended use and potential consequences in planning and assessment. |
| Measure and manage risks | Establish assessment criteria, treatment decisions and periodic review. |
| Share essential information | Define relevant communication, transparency and documented-information arrangements. |
| Test and monitor | Set evaluation criteria, retain results and respond when performance or conditions change. |
| Maintain human control | Define when people can intervene, override or stop an AI-enabled process. |

Does ISO 42001 certification establish EU AI Act compliance?
No. An AIMS can support governance processes and evidence, but ISO 42001 certification does not by itself establish EU AI Act compliance. Applicable responsibilities depend on the organisation's role and AI systems and must be assessed separately. Use the European Commission's current guidance for legal scope and timing rather than treating a training certificate as legal approval.
European Commission AI framework ↗Questions before you choose
Should I choose Self-Study, eLearning or one-to-one training?
Choose Self-Study if you prefer independent reading, eLearning if recorded instruction suits your schedule, or one-to-one training if you want personal teaching and discussion. The private package also includes a separate practitioner session. The official PECB credential requirements do not change with your learning format.
Can I take this course if I already hold ISO 27001, CISM or CISSP?
Yes. Governance, security and management-system experience can help you understand some concepts, but AI risk, impacts, lifecycle controls and human oversight require their own study. An existing qualification does not provide automatic PECB examination credit or remove this course's certification experience requirements.
Which qualification pairs well with ISO 42001 Lead Implementer?
Choose according to the work you want to perform. ISO 27001 Lead Implementer can complement information-security responsibilities, ISO 27701 Lead Implementer adds privacy-management context, and ISO 42001 Lead Auditor develops the assurance perspective. CAIM is another option for AI-management responsibilities. These are separate courses, not mandatory bundles or guaranteed career pathways.
Will the one-hour consultant session implement an AIMS for my organisation?
No. It is a focused learning session about applying ISO 42001, not a complete consulting engagement. You can discuss your questions and a relevant implementation scenario. Any work to design, implement or audit your organisation's AIMS would need a separate agreed scope.
Can my employer pay?
Contact Aegentra Academy if you need an employer invoice or approval information. We will confirm the selected course, billing details and any private-training arrangements before payment.
Does the course include a standalone copy of the ISO standard?
Official PECB course materials are included. A separate licensed copy of ISO/IEC 42001 is not promised as part of this offer. Ask about permitted study and examination materials before purchasing a separate copy.
Are private sessions available in my time zone?
Send your time zone and preferred month with your enquiry. We will confirm suitable dates and session times before payment. The page does not advertise a guaranteed timetable or a bookable public classroom venue.
Can I inspect the terms before enrolling?
Yes. Review the Academy's applicable access, refund and cancellation terms before paying. Private teaching dates, access arrangements and booking terms are confirmed with your quotation.
