Advanced in AI Risk Training in Ireland

This expert led course equips professionals with the specialist knowledge and practical skills needed to identify, assess and manage risks associated with artificial intelligence within modern organisations. As AI adoption accelerates, so too does the complexity of governance, compliance and operational risk. This course enables learners to confidently navigate these challenges.

Over two days, we explore how AI risk integrates into enterprise risk management frameworks, how to assess vulnerabilities across the AI lifecycle, and how to implement effective controls. Learners will develop a comprehensive understanding of AI technologies, associated threats, and the regulatory and ethical considerations that shape their use.

The course also prepares learners for the ISACA Advanced in AI Risk (AAIR) certification. The exam voucher is included and can be scheduled directly with ISACA after course completion.

Learners should have a solid understanding of governance, risk management and information security principles. Prior experience working within risk or compliance functions is recommended.

This course is designed for experienced governance, risk and security professionals who want to extend their expertise into AI risk management. It is particularly relevant for individuals who hold certifications such as:
