ISO/IEC 42001 Foundation
2-day PECB Foundation course on the AI management system (ISO/IEC 42001), online or on site, with exam and certificate (14 CPD).
This 2-day course introduces the fundamentals of an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) based on ISO/IEC 42001. You will understand the core concepts, requirements and structure of an AIMS and be well prepared for the PECB exam, a solid entry point into responsible AI governance.
In many companies, AI is still running largely ungoverned. In just 2 days, your team builds the foundations to govern artificial intelligence in a structured, auditable way under ISO/IEC 42001. No prior knowledge needed, with a PECB certificate. Laying the groundwork now is your chance to build a real head start before 42001 becomes the market standard.

Why this price is worth it
- An official PECB Certificate Program with an internationally recognised completion certificate, not a training provider's in-house certificate.
- Exam and certification fees are included, plus one free retake, so you get two attempts.
- Your trainer is a Senior Lead Auditor with industry practice, not someone reading slides. Senior Lead Auditor is PECB's senior tier, awarded only after 1,000+ documented audit hours and at least seven years of field experience.
- Small groups and a personal enrolment with advice, instead of an anonymous checkout.
- Transparency: PECB charges an annual maintenance fee (AMF) to keep the personnel certification active, billed directly to the certificate holder. We tell you upfront, not in the fine print.
- Compare carefully: short courses with an in-house certificate are not a Lead Auditor under ISO/IEC 17024, and "free" courses often charge four-figure exam and certificate fees separately. Here, everything is included.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need prior knowledge?
- No. The course is designed as an entry point and requires no prior knowledge.
- Is the exam included in the price?
- Yes. PECB's examination and certification fees are included; if you do not pass, one free retake within 12 months is included.
- Online or on site?
- Both. You can take the course as in-person or online-live training, as eLearning or self-study.
- Is this a personnel certification?
- No, the Foundation course is a certificate program. You receive a PECB completion certificate (14 CPD), not an ISO/IEC 17024 personnel certification, but the ideal basis for the Lead Auditor path.
- Is the course funded? What about study leave?
- Honestly: we are not an AZAV-accredited provider, so a German employment-agency training voucher (Bildungsgutschein) is not available. However: for companies the course fees are generally tax-deductible as a business expense; in several German states the course can be recognised as statutory educational leave (Bildungsurlaub, apply in good time); and depending on the state there are continuing-education vouchers for employees. We are happy to clarify what applies in your case in a short call, no empty promises.
