Professional Track
ISO/IEC 42001 Auditor Track
Develop the skills to plan, conduct and evaluate audits against ISO/IEC 42001 in real organisational contexts
Overview
The ISO/IEC 42001 Auditor Track prepares participants to conduct internal audits of AI Management Systems (AIMS). AI introduces unique risks such as bias, drift, data quality issues, explainability limitations, or emerging regulatory demands. Auditors must understand how these risks are managed across the AI lifecycle.
The track covers the full audit life cycle and enables effective AIMS audits in internal auditing, supplier auditing as well as third-party auditing contexts.

Auditors with experience in ISO/IEC 27001 or other management systems who want to extend their skills to AI-specific governance and controls

Modular system
Reuse of modules across tracks
Previously completed modules are recognized, avoiding duplication when pursuing additional Halderstone tracks.
If you later decide to extend your auditing competence to additional areas and ISO standards, you can earn additional auditor credentials without repeating the common core. This allows you to build an integrated competence profile step by step with limited additional effort.
Two credentials with one track
Both credentials are awarded without expiry.
