Course Overview
The Credential for People Who Manage AI Risk, Not Just Talk About It
AI risks such as bias, security threats, transparency gaps and compliance obligations need a specialised approach that goes beyond traditional risk management.
This course teaches you to identify, assess, mitigate and manage AI-related risks, drawing on the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, the EU AI Act and the MIT AI Risk Repository — with real-world AI risk scenarios. In the self-study 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.
Regulation Is Here
The EU AI Act sets risk-based obligations for AI systems.
Proven Frameworks
Apply the NIST AI RMF and the MIT AI Risk Repository in practice.
A Clear Career Path
Credentials run from AI Risk Manager to Senior Lead AI Risk Manager.
Who Should Attend?
Anyone who identifies, assesses or oversees AI risk
You need a basic understanding of AI concepts and risk management. Familiarity with the NIST AI RMF or EU AI Act helps but isn’t required.
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.
