The PECB Certified ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Auditor credential shows you can plan, lead and report an audit of an AI management system (AIMS) against ISO/IEC 42001:2023, using ISO 19011 audit principles. It is the qualification for testing whether the AI governance an organization claims is actually in place and working.
Internal auditors and certification body auditors extending into AI, governance and risk professionals who assess AI programs, and consultants who evaluate AI management systems for clients.
PECB asks for a fundamental understanding of ISO/IEC 42001 and of AI principles and concepts, plus a working knowledge of audit principles. A technical AI background is not required.
Day 1 introduces ISO/IEC 42001:2023 and the AI management system. Day 2 covers ISO 19011 audit principles and preparing and initiating an audit. Day 3 is on-site audit activities: evidence for AI controls, transparency, fairness, data governance. Day 4 closes the audit: reporting, corrective action follow-up and managing an audit program. The four days follow PECB’s official course structure, with the exam at the end.
The exam covers 7 competency domains: fundamental principles of an AI management system; AI management system requirements; fundamental audit concepts and principles; preparing an ISO/IEC 42001 audit; conducting an ISO/IEC 42001 audit; closing an ISO/IEC 42001 audit; managing an ISO/IEC 42001 audit program. Questions are weighted across the domains, and the course is organized so every domain is taught before you sit the exam.
The exam has 80 multiple-choice questions, a mix of standalone and scenario-based, and lasts 3 hours. It is open-book, and the passing score is 70%. Online exams are graded instantly.

An ISO/IEC 42001 audit tests whether the risk assessments, controls and human oversight an organization claims are actually in place.
