Self-paced course
ISO 42001, without the consultancy invoice.
The AI management system standard is becoming the price of entry for enterprise contracts. This is the course I built for the founders and governance leads I advise: everything I would tell you in a paid programme, in eight modules and a set of templates you can use on Monday.

Curriculum
Eight modules, in the order you need them
- 01What the standard is really askingThe nine clauses in plain English, and why auditors care about decisions rather than documents.
- 02Scoping without over-committingChoosing the scope that unblocks revenue. The single decision that most changes cost and timeline.
- 03Your AI system inventoryThe template, the owner, and how to keep it true once engineers start shipping again.
- 04Impact assessments that mean somethingNaming affected people, plausible harms, and the mitigations you will actually maintain.
- 05Controls from Annex AWhich controls you implement, which you justify away, and how to write the justification.
- 06Suppliers and model providersWhat your vendor terms probably do not say, and the clauses to negotiate before renewal.
- 07Evidence and the audit trailWhat to keep, where, and for how long — designed so it costs your team nothing to maintain.
- 08The certification runChoosing a body, stage one and stage two, and the twelve findings that come up most often.
What's included
- 8 video modules, 3h 40m total, watch at your pace
- Editable templates: inventory, impact assessment, policy, Statement of Applicability
- Gap-analysis workbook scored against all nine clauses
- Supplier clause library for model and data providers
- Lifetime access, including every future update to the standard
Who it's for
Founders and COOs staring at a procurement questionnaire. Heads of risk asked to govern something they did not commission. NEDs who need to ask better questions. Governance leads who already hold ISO 27001 and want the shortest honest route to 42001.
It is not for auditors, and it will not certify you. It gets you to the point where certification is a project with a date rather than a fear with a budget.
