Course Overview
The Starting Point for Anyone Working With AI Governance
ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard for an AI management system. It gives organisations a structured way to build, deploy and oversee AI responsibly — with clear policies, risk controls and accountability.
The Foundation course gives you a working knowledge of every part of an AIMS — context, policy, risk planning, support, operation, performance evaluation and improvement — and prepares you for the PECB certificate exam. Veloraa pairs the official PECB curriculum with day-to-day AI governance experience, so the concepts
land in real-world terms.
