Introduction
The AI Governance & Compliance Expert (AIGCE) certification is awarded by the Global Institute of Professional Management Certification (GIPMC). It covers how organizations oversee their use of artificial intelligence: governance structures and policies, legal and regulatory obligations, compliance built into each stage of the AI lifecycle, and the evidence needed to show that AI is lawful, ethical and under control.
GIPMC lists the credential for people working in AI governance and responsible AI, risk, compliance and GRC, legal and regulatory affairs, internal audit and control, IT governance and security, and policy advisory roles, plus senior staff who oversee AI.
BlueMorpho Learning Solutions helps you understand the requirements, plan your study and enroll for AIGCE. GIPMC conducts the exam and awards the certification.

Curriculum
GIPMC's official AIGCE outline has 13 modules:
- Foundations of AI Governance: how governance differs from management and execution, and models for accountability and oversight.
- AI Regulatory & Compliance Landscape: risk-based AI rules, existing laws that already apply, and different duties for those who build, supply or use AI.
- AI Risk Identification & Classification: legal, ethical and operational risks, risk tiers, owners and escalation.
- Governance Framework Design: the operating model, an AI governance committee, the three lines and clear decision rights.
- Policy Development for AI: an AI policy, acceptable and prohibited uses, supporting procedures and enforcement.
- AI Lifecycle Governance: compliance by design, review gates before go-live, change approval and retiring systems safely.
- Data Governance & AI Compliance: data ownership and quality, privacy and consent, and data protection alignment.
- Model Governance & Oversight: model approval and validation, performance tracking and version control.
- Transparency, Documentation & Auditability: technical documentation, record keeping and an evidence trail for audits.
- Ethical & Responsible AI Oversight: fairness, explainability and accountability, and handling ethical trade-offs.
- Compliance Monitoring & Reporting: continuous compliance, control testing, metrics and board reporting.
- Incident Management & Regulatory Response: handling AI incidents, working with regulators and improving controls afterwards.
- Building a Sustainable AI Governance Program: an inventory of AI uses, a register of obligations, maturity assessment and preparing for new rules.
We help you connect each module to AI uses in your own organization, so you are ready for the scenario questions.
