Course Overview
The Credential for People Who Turn the EU AI Act Into Practice
The EU AI Act becomes fully applicable on 2 August 2026. Organisations that build, sell or use AI in the EU need people who can translate its obligations into policies, controls and accountability.
This course takes a practical, lifecycle-based approach to AI governance and compliance, bridging legal, compliance, risk and technical perspectives. In the selfstudy format you work through the official PECB course materials on your own, then sit the same exam and earn the same credential as learners on the instructor-led course.
Clarity
Understand the EU AI Act and its practical implications.
Structure
Build AI governance frameworks inside your organisation.
Compliance
Turn regulatory obligations into operational policies.
Who Should Attend?
Anyone who governs, secures or oversees AI in the EU
No deep AI expertise required. A solid grounding in core cybersecurity concepts is expected; basic familiarity with machine learning helps.
Is it right for you?
Self-study or instructor-led?
Both lead to the same PECB exam and credential. Self-study suits learners who already have considerable knowledge of the subject and prefer to work from the materials alone.
