Course Description


The AIGP Exam Preparation — AI Governance Professional (IAPP) course provides structured preparation for learners seeking to strengthen their understanding of artificial intelligence governance, responsible AI practices and organisational risk management. It is designed to help candidates organise their study, connect major governance concepts and develop the analytical judgement required when approaching AI governance scenarios.

The course begins with the AIGP exam domains and modern AI foundations, including predictive, generative, foundation and agentic AI. Learners will examine the AI lifecycle from design through deployment and eventual retirement while reviewing responsible AI principles and oversight responsibilities.

The curriculum then explores global AI law and regulatory readiness, including the EU AI Act, GDPR, automated decision-making, profiling, discrimination, copyright, biometrics and AI liability. Learners will also review recognised governance and risk frameworks such as the NIST AI RMF, the NIST Generative AI Risk Profile and ISO IEC 42001.

Further modules cover use-case approval, AI data governance, intellectual property controls, model testing, validation, red teaming, documentation and compliance evidence. The final module examines deployment controls, human oversight, third-party AI, vendor governance, monitoring, incidents, retirement and scenario-based exam readiness.

By combining technical foundations, legal awareness, governance frameworks and applied risk scenarios, the course can support preparation for the AIGP examination and broader professional development in responsible AI governance.

What You'll Learn

  • Explain modern AI models, lifecycle stages and responsible oversight principles
  • Identify important AI regulatory, privacy, liability and discrimination risks
  • Describe how recognised frameworks support AI governance and assurance
  • Recognise appropriate controls for AI development, testing and documentation
  • Evaluate deployment, vendor, monitoring and incident-management scenarios

Why Take this Course

Effective AI governance requires more than a general understanding of artificial intelligence. Professionals must be able to recognise how AI systems create legal, ethical, operational and reputational risks throughout their lifecycle.

This course provides a structured route through important AIGP exam areas, helping learners connect AI foundations with regulation, risk frameworks, model accountability and practical governance controls. It explores how organisations can evaluate AI use cases, establish approval gates, govern data, manage vendors and document responsible decisions.

Learners will also examine how human oversight, testing, monitoring, incident management and retirement controls contribute to responsible AI deployment. Scenario practice and exam-readiness topics can help candidates identify knowledge gaps and approach applied questions more methodically.

This course helps you:

✓ Understand modern AI systems and their governance implications
✓ Review major AI laws, privacy requirements and liability risks
✓ Apply recognised AI governance and risk-management frameworks
✓ Recognise important development, deployment and assurance controls
✓ Develop a structured approach to AIGP scenario questions

Clear, well-paced training. The explanation of governance frameworks, accountability and AI risk was especially useful, and I can see myself using it when structuring my AIGP revision. I would have valued a few more timed practice questions.

Response from DPG Support Team
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback, Oliver. We’re pleased the core AI governance content was useful, and we have noted your suggestion about few more timed practice questions. Feedback like this helps us improve the learning experience.
