The Certified ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Auditor course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and practical expertise required to audit an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) against ISO/IEC 42001 using recognised auditing principles, procedures, and techniques.

Artificial intelligence is now a significant part of many organisations, supporting automation, operational efficiency, and data-driven decision-making. At the same time, organisations must ensure that AI systems are managed responsibly, ethically, and under appropriate governance and control.

ISO/IEC 42001 provides a structured management system approach for establishing processes, responsibilities, controls, and governance around the use of AI. As adoption of the standard increases, organisations require auditors who can objectively assess whether an AIMS conforms to its requirements.

This training helps participants interpret ISO/IEC 42001 from an auditor's perspective and develop the skills needed to evaluate the conformity and effectiveness of an AI Management System.

The programme covers audit planning, evidence-based auditing, risk-based auditing, Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits, audit communication, audit procedures, test plans, findings, nonconformity reporting, corrective action review, audit closure, and audit programme management.

Participants also learn how to plan, conduct, close, and follow up an ISO/IEC 42001 audit in line with ISO 19011 guidelines, ISO/IEC 17021-1 requirements, and recognised auditing best practices.

This training provides the knowledge and auditing approach required to assess artificial intelligence management systems effectively. Participants learn how to plan audits, evaluate evidence, write findings, and report results while reviewing AI governance structures, control mechanisms, and organizational maturity from an auditor perspective.

ISO/IEC 42001 helps organizations manage artificial intelligence systems in a structured and controlled way. It addresses governance, transparency, accountability, risk management, and continual improvement, enabling organizations to operate AI-related activities with stronger oversight and greater stakeholder confidence.

The training is suitable for internal auditors, compliance professionals, quality managers, information security specialists, consultants, and professionals involved in AI governance. It is also valuable for teams working in organizations that are implementing, maintaining, or preparing to audit an AI management system.

The course covers AI management system requirements, audit principles, audit program management, audit preparation, on-site audit practices, nonconformity evaluation, audit reporting, and follow-up activities. It also explores AI-related risks, governance expectations, and the control environment needed to support responsible AI management.

ISO/IEC 42001 is designed to align well with other management system standards and can be integrated into existing organizational frameworks. It shares common management elements such as documented processes, internal audits, management review, risk-based thinking, and continual improvement, which makes integration more practical and efficient.

Critical audit areas include governance structure, defined roles and responsibilities, risk and impact assessment, data and model management, performance monitoring, transparency practices, and improvement mechanisms. Auditors are expected to assess not only documented arrangements but also the effectiveness of implementation and the traceability of decisions.

This training helps organizations strengthen control, consistency, and auditability in their AI-related processes. It supports better governance maturity, improves internal oversight, increases confidence among stakeholders, and enables earlier identification of risks and weaknesses in AI management practices.

After the training, participants can plan and conduct AI management system audits, assess controls, classify nonconformities, and identify improvement opportunities. These capabilities can be applied in internal audit programs, supplier assessments, customer requirements, and certification preparation activities.
