Professional Certification

AI Governance Professional (AIGP)

The foundational RESAIA certification. Validates that a professional understands AI governance as a complete discipline, not as individual fragments of risk, compliance, security, ethics, legal, procurement, audit, or data privacy, but as one connected governance system. The only RESAIA certification that covers the full scope of the Body of Knowledge and examines how all of the disciplines integrate.

Why Pursue This Certification?

When AI governance knowledge is confined to individual domains, each function governs what it can see. Risk conducts assessments the board never sees. Compliance produces reports engineering never consumes. Ethics reviews arrive too late to influence design. Security evaluates threats without visibility into how the model was trained. Audit checks documentation without the methodology to evaluate whether AI-specific controls are actually effective. Nobody owns fairness testing because it falls in the gap between everyone's remit. Individual AI projects may receive some level of assessment, but portfolio-level risk accumulation remains invisible.

This is the Orchestration Gap. It is not caused by negligence or lack of effort. It is caused by the absence of professionals who understand how all of these disciplines connect and can design governance systems that make them work together. The AIGP certification exists because RESAIA believes closing this gap starts with knowledge that spans the full governance landscape, not just one part of it.

Learning Outcomes

What You Can Expect

  • Explain why AI systems require dedicated governance distinct from general IT or data governance, including the specific risks posed by traditional ML, generative AI, and agentic systems.
  • Describe the four-layer governance architecture and the mandate of each governance domain, including the bidirectional flow of directives and evidence.
  • Assess an organisation's AI governance maturity across the five RGMM dimensions and identify priority gaps.
  • Design governance structures that integrate strategy, risk, ethics, security, privacy, lifecycle management, and assurance into a coordinated system.
  • Evaluate cross-domain dependencies, identifying where one governance domain's outputs serve as prerequisites for another's activities.
  • Apply proportionality principles to calibrate governance intensity to the risk profile of different AI use cases.

Study Material

RESAIA Body of Knowledge

The AIGP examines candidates across the full scope of the BOK, covering all four governance layers and fourteen domains. The BOK teaches these disciplines not as independent topics but as parts of a connected governance system. For the AIGP specifically, understanding the connections between disciplines is as important as understanding each discipline individually.
