AI Foundations for Governance
Build the baseline vocabulary to describe an AI system, its model type, lifecycle, actors, intended purpose and limitations.
Guided practice is open. Submitting evidence for Module 1 needs its AI Assessor pass.
Turn what you learn in the programme into evidence you can defend.
14 labs follow the 24-module curriculum stage by stage. Each one gives you a fictional organisation, its evidence pack and commercial pressure, then asks you to make and record the governance decision a practitioner would.
Labs or Simulation? Labs practise one module's skill and are part of your module path: after you pass the module's Check, the evidence you submit here is reviewed by your trainer. For Modules 1–3, your homework is what your trainer reviews and the labs are optional practice before it. For a complete governance review of a realistic case, in your own time, use Simulation.
