About the AIGP (Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional) training
The AIGP is the IAPP's certification for people who govern how organizations build, buy and use AI. It covers AI governance foundations, the laws, standards and frameworks that apply to AI, governing AI development, and governing AI deployment and use. CertOcean's course follows the four domains of Body of Knowledge v2.1, which added generative AI, agentic AI, third-party risk and model monitoring, and uses real case studies so the scenario questions feel familiar.
The AIGP fits privacy, legal, compliance, risk, audit and security professionals, product and data leaders, and anyone asked to set up an AI governance program or an AI risk committee. No technical background or prerequisite certification is needed.

What is the AIGP certification?
AIGP stands for Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional.

It is one of the most requested AI governance credentials in job postings for AI risk, privacy and compliance roles.

How long does it take to prepare for the AIGP exam?
Most people need 4 to 6 weeks at 5 to 6 hours a week. Privacy professionals who already hold a CIPP or CIPM often need 3 to 4 weeks, because the governance and risk thinking is familiar. Plan at least 30 hours of study and book the exam after you score 75% or more on two full mock exams.
Who should get the AIGP certification?
Privacy officers, data protection officers, legal and compliance teams, risk managers, internal auditors, security leaders and product managers whose organizations are adopting AI. It also suits consultants who advise clients on the EU AI Act and AI risk.
How long is the AIGP (Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional) course, and when does it start?
The course runs for 16 hours of live, instructor-led online training across 8 sessions. Weekend and weekday batches are available, and the next batch starts on Saturday, November 14, 2026.
Do I need a technical background for the AIGP?
No. The AIGP tests governance, law, risk and process, not coding or data science. You should understand what AI systems do; the course covers the technical basics you need.
What changed in AIGP Body of Knowledge v2.1?
Version 2.1, effective 2 February 2026, keeps four domains and adds more on generative AI, agentic AI, third-party risk, data lineage, impact assessments and model monitoring. Material written for older versions misses these topics. This course follows v2.1.
Is the AIGP worth it?
Yes, if your work touches AI risk, privacy or compliance. AI governance roles are growing fast as the EU AI Act and US state laws take effect, and the AIGP is the credential many of those job postings name.
AIGP vs CIPP: which should I take?
CIPP covers privacy law for a region (for example CIPP/US or CIPP/E). AIGP covers governing AI across its lifecycle. Privacy professionals often hold both. If AI governance is your new responsibility, start with the AIGP.
Should I become an IAPP member before the exam?
Usually yes. Membership lowers the exam fee from US$799 to US$649 and covers the certification maintenance fee, so it often pays for itself.
Is the exam fee included in the course fee?
No. The exam is bought from the IAPP. Our advisors help you choose member or non-member pricing and book the exam.
Is CertOcean affiliated with the IAPP?
No. CertOcean is an independent training company and is not an IAPP official training partner. AIGP and IAPP are trademarks of the International Association of Privacy Professionals.
Will I get a certificate after the AIGP (Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional) training?
Yes. You receive a CertOcean certificate of completion when you finish the training.
