Credential program

Earn a verifiable AI governance credential. Every lesson is free.

Reading the article tells you what the law says. It does not tell you how to classify your own system, or how to defend that call to an auditor.

Certified AI Governance Professional (CAIGP) is fourteen modules of exactly that work: you run an organization through the AI era, make decisions that can fail, and leave with a record an employer can verify.

14 modules, 98 topics, each with a lesson and a graded quiz.
Opens with “Why decisions, not information, will make you the expert”, and every lesson is free with a free account.
The Professor on every topic: a first look free, one on one on every topic when you certify.
A mastery exam at the end, then a credential anyone you send it to can verify.
Your progress is saved to your account, on any device.
