Course Overview

With the AI Act coming into force, all organisations that develop, deploy, or use AI systems will need to comply with its requirements and align with emerging European and international standards. This involves understanding risk-based classifications of AI systems, implementing accountability and transparency mechanisms, and integrating ethical and trustworthy AI principles into governance frameworks.

The Artificial Intelligence Compliance Professional (AICP) programme responds to this growing need by equipping professionals with the knowledge and practical tools to ensure legal and ethical compliance in AI-driven environments. It builds on foundational AI understanding and focuses on translating the complex regulatory framework into practical compliance strategies. Participants will gain the competence to implement, monitor, and improve AI compliance systems within their organisations, ensuring responsible innovation, risk mitigation, and public trust in AI technologies.

Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the AI Act’s risk-based regulatory model, including the classification of AI systems, compliance obligations, and documentation and conformity assessment requirements.

The AICP programme bridges the gap between policy and practice and will enable participants to translate legal frameworks into operational AI compliance strategies.

Through a blend of interactive lectures, workshops, and real-world case studies, participants will learn how to develop, implement, and monitor AI compliance systems within their organisations and lead responsibly in the fast-evolving field of AI governance.

The courses will prepare participants who wish to take the EXIN Artificial Intelligence Compliance Professional (AICP) Certificate examination.


Training Objectives

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:

At Knowledge Level:

  • Describe the purpose, structure, and key provisions of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) and its relevance to organisational compliance.

  • List the categories of AI systems under the AI Act according to their associated risk levels (unacceptable, high, limited, and minimal risk).

  • Identify the main roles and responsibilities defined in the AI regulatory framework, including those of providers, deployers, importers, and users.

  • Name the principal ethical principles and standards underpinning trustworthy and responsible AI practices in the EU and internationally.

  • Clarify the relationship between AI compliance and existing data protection, privacy, and risk management obligations, such as those under the GDPR.

  • Correlate AI compliance requirements with relevant European and international standards (e.g., ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 23894, and NIST AI Risk Management Framework).

  • Separate the concepts of legal compliance, ethical accountability, and technical conformity as they apply to AI governance.

  • Order the key steps involved in preparing an AI compliance programme aligned with regulatory and ethical expectations.

At Skills Level:

  • Organise the components of an internal AI compliance framework, integrating policies, procedures, and documentation practices.

  • Show how to apply ethical and trustworthy AI principles in real-world decision-making and governance processes.

  • Justify compliance and governance decisions by referencing relevant legal, ethical, and technical standards.

  • Defend an organisation’s compliance position in response to regulatory audits or stakeholder inquiries through clear reasoning and evidence-based arguments.

  • Choose appropriate compliance tools, standards, or frameworks to address specific AI-related risks and organisational needs.

At Attitudes Level:

  • Challenge unethical or non-compliant AI practices within their organisation by applying legal and ethical reasoning.

  • Defend the importance of responsible and transparent AI deployment as a cornerstone of sustainable innovation and public trust.

  • Justify organizational decisions related to AI governance using principles of accountability, fairness, and proportionality.

  • Criticise existing AI systems or compliance frameworks to identify weaknesses, biases, or potential regulatory gaps.

  • Participate actively in interdisciplinary teams to promote cross-functional understanding and collaboration on AI compliance initiatives.

  • Analyse the ethical and societal implications of AI use, balancing technological opportunities with fundamental rights and human oversight.

  • Evaluate competing compliance strategies and governance models to select the most effective and context-appropriate approaches.

  • Appraise the broader impact of AI regulation on innovation, competitiveness, and public policy within the EU and beyond.
