FAQs

What is the AIPGF Foundation course?

AIPGF Foundation is a 3-day instructor-led course that introduces the AI Project Governance Framework. It covers the framework’s purpose, principles, lifecycle, roles and maturity model, and prepares you for the AIPGF Foundation exam.

Who should attend AIPGF Foundation?

This course is designed for portfolio, programme and project delivery roles, as well as individuals involved in oversight of AI-enabled change. It is also suitable for people planning to take the AIPGF Practitioner course and those who want a theoretical understanding of the Framework and its elements.

Do I need project management or AI experience?

You don’t need to be a certified project manager or AI specialist. Familiarity with projects, programmes or portfolio governance is helpful, but the course focuses on understanding how AIPGF structures AI project governance.

How is the AIPGF Foundation course delivered?

The course is delivered live online by an instructor. You join scheduled sessions, take part in explanations, discussions and case-based examples, and prepare for the AIPGF Foundation exam.

What does the AIPGF Foundation exam involve?

The exam is a 40-question, 40-minute, closed-book multiple-choice exam. You need 20 correct answers out of 40 (50%) to pass and achieve AIPGF Foundation certification.

Is AIPGF Foundation a prerequisite for Practitioner?

AIPGF materials recommend Foundation (or equivalent knowledge) before Practitioner. Taking AIPGF Foundation first gives you the theoretical understanding you need to apply the Framework at Practitioner level.

How does AIPGF relate to methods like PRINCE2 or Agile?

AIPGF is methodology-agnostic. It is designed to sit alongside existing project and programme management approaches, adding a specific focus on governing AI use rather than replacing your delivery method.

Can my organisation book AIPGF Foundation for a group?

Yes. You can book individual places on public courses or contact us to discuss running AIPGF Foundation as a dedicated course for your organisation.
