There are no prerequisites for this course. It is written for learners who are new to ISO/IEC 42001 and to AI management systems, and it builds your understanding from first principles.
Some of our courses share the same lessons. If you have already done those lessons in another course with us, you will not have to watch them again. You just do what is new in this course. This happens automatically when you enrol.
This is not the formal Recognition of Prior Learning that exempts you from a qualification, and it does not mean there is nothing left to do. It saves you time, while the units that make up your course remain mandatory to complete.
You will need a computer, laptop, or tablet with a reliable internet connection. The course works in any modern web browser, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, or Apple Safari. For the best experience, keep your browser updated to the latest version.

Speaking from my own subjective perspective: I found lectures of this type easy to follow back when I was at university, but now—as an adult who has taken various other courses—I believe that interactive content is better absorbed and remembered than a dry lecture. Nevertheless, the speaker was interesting to listen to, and the fact that I passed the test on the first attempt is the best possible measure of the lecture's quality.

I found the Audit Workshop very interesting, but also quite challenging, with a lot of knowledge and information to take in. For me, some of the material was a little easier to relate to because I work for a company that is already ISO 13485 certified, and I have my own copy of the standard that I can refer to. I am also audited every year by BSI and several times by our customers, so I already have some experience with the audit process from the other side. However, the workshop gave me a much better understanding of the auditor’s perspective and helped me put my existing experience into a broader context. I really enjoyed the course and found it very useful.

The course I just completed was a really good experience. Everything was clear , professional and very well organised. I was very happy with it overall , looking forward to taking my next step with this training organisation.

It was good class. I would have liked a little more time on the standard and less on auditing. Otherwise the speaker was engaging and the content good. If I would have been a new auditor; it would have provided me with lots of insights! As an experienced auditor it did a great job of reviewing the basics!
Laura-Mioara L.

I liked the way the lecturer presented the changes to the standard and I feel that I learnt a lot. I also liked the materials I received, as they were clear, useful, and easy to follow. Thank you for this informative and enjoyable training!
