ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Auditor
5-day PECB course (4 training days + 1 exam day) for the ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Auditor, personnel certification to ISO/IEC 17024 (31 CPD).
This 5-day course (4 training days + 1 exam day) equips you to audit Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS) against ISO/IEC 42001, planning, conducting and closing audits in line with ISO/IEC 17021-1 and ISO 19011. Once you pass, you can apply for the globally recognized PECB Certified ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Auditor credential.

Get certified now and you give yourself the chance to position yourself early in a young, in-demand field before the crowd arrives. You learn real audit craft under ISO/IEC 17021-1 and ISO 19011, no guru talk, just the competence for the globally recognized personnel certification.

Why this price is worth it
- A genuine personnel certification under ISO/IEC 17024, issued by PECB, 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?

- How does the exam work?
- 5 days = 4 training days + 1 exam day. The exam has 80 multiple-choice questions across 7 domains, lasts 3 hours, pass mark 70%. The exam fee and one free retake are included.
- Online or on site?
- Both, in-person, online-live, eLearning or self-study.

- Yes. After passing you apply for the PECB personnel certification under ISO/IEC 17024 (31 CPD). The certification is issued by PECB; Der KI-Auditor is an authorized PECB training partner, not a certification body.
- 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.
