AI Risk & Impact Assessment

It is for people who assess or approve AI systems: AI governance leads, product owners, data scientists and engineers, and risk, privacy and compliance teams. It suits organisations that develop, provide or use AI and are building or running an AI management system to ISO/IEC 42001. A working knowledge of ISO/IEC 42001 helps; no programming knowledge is needed.

It covers the ISO/IEC 42001:2023 requirements for AI risk assessment, AI risk treatment and AI system impact assessment; setting context, intended uses and AI objectives; identifying risk sources and analysing and evaluating AI risks with ISO/IEC 23894:2023 guidance; assessing impacts on individuals, groups and society with ISO/IEC 42005:2025; choosing treatment options and Annex A controls; and documenting and reviewing assessments as AI systems change.

It is a set of short video modules, each followed by practice questions, and a final exam. The course page shows the number of modules and the approximate video runtime; allow additional time for the practice questions and the exam. With 12 months of access, you can complete it in one sitting or spread it over several sessions.

No. The Certificate of Completion is a training certificate: it shows that one person completed AI Risk & Impact Assessment and reached the pass mark in its final exam. ISO/IEC 42005 and ISO/IEC 23894 are guidance documents, and Sterling does not certify organisations. An organisation is certified to ISO/IEC 42001 by an independent certification body after that body's own audit.
