Act Now is pleased to report that the first cohort of its new AI Governance Practitioner Certificate has successfully completed the course. 

This course is designed to equip Information Governance professionals with the essential knowledge and skills to navigate AI deployment within their organisations. As we detailed in our previous blog “What is the role of IG Professionals in AI Governance?”, IG professionals should be aware of how this technology works so that they can help to ensure that there is responsible deployment from an IG perspective, just as would be the case with any new technology.   

The first course ran over a four week period in May and June. It consisted of ten delegates from the health sector in Wales. They all successfully completed the course assessment in July. 

The course was extremely well received by the delegates who complimented us on the scope of the syllabus and the delivery style: 

“I took a huge amount from the course which will help shape the development of processes for us internally in the coming months.” Dave Parsons , WASPI Code Manager (Wales Accord on the Sharing of Personal Information)  

“This was a superb course with a lot of information delivered at a carefully managed rate that encouraged discussion and reflection.  Literacy in AI and its application is vital – without it we cannot comprehend the ever changing level of IG threat and risk.” MA, Digital Health and Care Wales

“The training was very good. The instructor was also very knowledgeable about the subject.” HP, Digital Health and Care Wales

Cora Suckley, Information Governance Service Manager, Digital Health and Care Wales said: 

“The AI Governance Practitioner Certificate exceeded my expectations. The content was comprehensive and well-structured, successfully bridging the gap between technical AI concepts and essential governance frameworks. The course delved into responsible AI principles, risk management, compliance, policy and ethical considerations, equipping me with practical tools to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape. 

The instructor was excellent and made the sessions interactive, highly engaging and applicable, providing real-world examples. This course provides a solid foundation for implementing AI governance in a meaningful and effective way.” 

Two more cohorts are currently completing the course. The next course starts in September and has a few places left.
