The AIGP, Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional, is a certification from the IAPP (International Association of Privacy Professionals). It tests whether you understand how to govern AI systems responsibly: the laws that reach them, the risks they create, and the controls a team puts around building, deploying and monitoring them.

It is built for people who are accountable for AI in an organization, governance, privacy, risk, audit, compliance and legal professionals, and the product or engineering leads who work with them. You do not need to write code. You need to understand the decisions and controls that keep an AI system trustworthy.

No. The exam is about governance, not engineering or case law. The lessons explain each technical idea and each legal instrument in plain English before they ask you to reason about it, so you can start from either a technical, legal or governance background.

Four domains: the foundations of AI governance; how laws, standards and frameworks apply to AI; how to govern AI development; and how to govern AI deployment and use. The official blueprint weights them roughly 21 / 25 / 27 / 27 out of 100 questions, so the later two domains carry the most marks.

The AIGP is 100 multiple-choice questions in 180 minutes. 85 questions are scored and 15 are unscored pilot questions that look identical, so you should answer every question as if it counts. Results are reported on a scaled score from 100 to 500, and the passing score is 300.

That depends on your starting point and how much time you give it each week. The Academy asks for your exam date, runs a short diagnostic, and builds a study plan that spreads the four domains across the weeks you have. Your readiness measure is based on how you answer questions, so you can see when you are actually ready rather than guessing.

A textbook explains the material once and then leaves you to test yourself. Here you learn each concept in a short stepped lesson, practice it on scenario questions, and get feedback that explains why the right answer is right and why each wrong answer is wrong. Recalling and applying a concept builds exam-ready understanding faster than re-reading it.

The lessons are written from primary sources, the EU AI Act, the OECD AI Principles, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO/IEC standards and GDPR, and are revised as those instruments and the exam blueprint change. AI governance law moves quickly, so always check critical facts against the primary source before you rely on them.

Yes. You can read one full lesson and answer a real sample question without an account. That is the actual product, not a mock-up, so you can judge the teaching and the question feedback before you commit.
