    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Auditor
    Boot Camp FAQ

    Real questions from real professionals who passed.
    Here's how we answer them.

    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.

    Yes. Both the PECB certification exam and the certification fee are included in your course fee, and the exam is scheduled at the end of the course. There is nothing extra to buy to get certified.

    Yes. We include one free exam retake within 12 months of your first attempt, and it is covered by your course fee.

    Because customers, regulators and boards are starting to ask for evidence that AI is governed, not just used, and EU AI Act obligations phase in through 2026 and 2027. An ISO/IEC 42001 audit tests whether the risk assessments, controls and human oversight an organization claims are actually in place.

    Lead Auditor teaches you to plan, conduct and close an audit of an AI management system. Lead Implementer teaches you to build and operate one. Auditors assess; implementers run the program. Compare all of our PECB courses side by side on the PECB training courses page.

    As of 2026 the only edition is ISO/IEC 42001:2023, published in December 2023, and audits are conducted against it. This course teaches the 2023 requirements and how to audit them.

    Yes. PECB issues an attestation of course completion worth 31 CPD (Continuing Professional Development) credits to everyone who attends the course.

    Yes. PECB is accredited to ISO/IEC 17024, the international standard for bodies certifying people, and its credentials are recognized internationally. Training Camp delivers the official PECB courseware as an authorized training partner.
