Who it is for

For the people who own AI decisions.

This program is for people who increasingly have responsibility for AI without necessarily building it: managers, policy professionals, risk and compliance, cybersecurity, privacy, legal, procurement, HR, audit, digital transformation and technology leaders. It is serious enough to have credibility, without being so technical that only specialists can take it.

What you will be able to do

Leave able to act.

The program maps to the work itself. By the end, participants can:

  • Stand up an AI governance function, with clear models, roles and accountability.
  • Identify, assess and prioritize AI risks across privacy, security, bias, reliability, IP, reputation and operations.
  • Apply fairness, transparency, explainability and human-oversight principles to real decisions.
  • Draft acceptable-use policies, approval processes and monitoring and escalation controls.
  • Govern generative AI, copilots, third-party tools and agents, and pressure-test a vendor's AI claims.
  • Chair an AI review or governance committee and make a defensible go, conditional go or no-go decision.
  • Build a 90-day AI governance roadmap for your organization.
  • Brief executives and boards on AI risk and governance in plain language.
How it runs

Live online, open to non-specialists.

The program is delivered live online, so your team can take part from anywhere. It runs as six 3-hour modules, 18 hours in total, with participants building their toolkit between sessions and finishing with the capstone.

No technical background is required. If you have responsibility for AI, or expect to, you are ready for this program.

The agenda

Six modules.

ModuleTopicWhat participants learn
1AI Governance FoundationsWhy AI governance matters, governance models, roles and accountability, the regulatory and standards landscape.
2AI Risk ManagementHow to identify, assess and prioritize AI risks across privacy, security, bias, reliability, IP, reputation and operations.
3Responsible AI & EthicsFairness, transparency, explainability, human oversight, accountability and responsible decision-making.
4AI Policies & ControlsAcceptable-use policies, risk classification, approval processes, documentation, monitoring and escalation.
5Governing Generative AI & AgentsCopilots, LLMs, shadow AI, third-party tools, data leakage, procurement, agents and human-in-the-loop controls.
6AI Governance in PracticeA simulation and case study, plus development of an organizational AI governance roadmap.
Industry-aligned

Grounded in recognized standards.

The curriculum follows the body of knowledge behind recognized AI governance credentials, including the IAPP's AIGP (Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional), and reflects the frameworks and guidance of professional bodies such as ISACA. It is professional development aligned with the industry, not exam preparation.

The program works directly with the standards and guidance your organization will be measured against:

  • NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF)
  • ISO/IEC 42001, AI management systems
  • ISO/IEC 23894, AI risk management
  • OECD AI Principles
  • Canadian government guidance on AI
  • Relevant Canadian and EU regulatory approaches
Applied throughout

You build a real toolkit, not just notes.

The program is highly applied. Each module, participants build part of an AI Governance Toolkit for their own organization. You leave with:

  • An AI governance charter
  • An AI roles and accountability matrix
  • An AI use-case inventory template
  • An AI risk assessment framework
  • A risk-tiering model
  • Responsible AI principles
  • An AI acceptable-use policy template
  • A vendor and third-party AI checklist
  • An AI incident and escalation process
  • A 90-day AI governance implementation roadmap
The capstone

A real decision, not a final exam.

A department wants to deploy an AI system that makes recommendations affecting customers or citizens. The vendor says it is ready. Legal has concerns. Security has concerns. Leadership wants it launched in six weeks.

Teams become the AI governance committee. They assess the risks, question the vendor, identify the controls and make a go, conditional go or no-go recommendation.

A three-level pathway

Meet people where they are.

AI Governance Fundamentals

A one-day introduction and a lower-commitment first step. Start here, and it is credited if you upgrade.

Certificate in AI Governance, Risk & Responsible Leadership

The flagship six-module program, with the foundation included.

AI Governance Practitioner

A deeper, implementation-focused program for those putting governance into operation.

The levels build on each other, but the full certificate already includes the foundation, so there is no prerequisite. If you would rather start smaller, take the Fundamentals first, and we credit it toward the certificate if you upgrade.

As a Tutiv Learning program, this certificate may qualify for Ontario Job Grant funding. We can help you check eligibility and prepare the application. See funding
