Listed by PECB; scheduling and technical requirements apply
Passing the examination does not automatically award the full professional credential named by the course. PECB assesses the applicable application, experience and activity requirements, including any available Provisional tier. Review the course-specific credential table before enrolling; the title is not a promise that you already meet its requirements.
Read the applicable PECB maintenance rules as well as the entry requirements. Professional experience, activity evidence, CPD and maintenance fees are course- and tier-dependent; do not assume another course’s conditions apply.
Original fictional learning example. Not a client case study, official exam question, legal advice or a completed implementation.
EU AI governance in practice
A New Zealand software business supplies an AI-enabled feature to a European customer. Its team has not distinguished the developer, deployer and supplier roles or documented the intended use.
Map the parties, intended use and the way the system reaches the market.
Record the information needed before assessing classification and obligations.
Identify where governance evidence is missing and legal interpretation is required.
How should I use this exercise?
Use the scenario to explain a reasoned approach. Identify what you know, what you would check next and the limits of your authority before taking action. Write down your assumptions and the evidence you would need before reaching a conclusion. Nothing is submitted, stored or graded.
For New Zealand organisations
Apply the learning in context.
A New Zealand business may encounter EU AI requirements through cross-border activity. Do not infer applicability just from being an NZ company or using AI. The course is educational; a specific EU AI Act assessment needs the actual facts and appropriate legal advice.
Learn to assess AI and LLM security risks, select defensive controls and connect monitoring, incident response and governance across the AI lifecycle.

PECB’s English exam register lists 3 hours; multiple choice; open book; 80 questions. Online availability is listed.

We do not infer a pass mark from another course or promise an exam result.
Is this a live online class?+
No. This page offers Self-Study for self-paced online learning. Recorded eLearning is not a scheduled class or a personal instructor session. No live-class or consultancy package is included for this course.
Does passing the exam automatically award the credential?+
Passing the examination does not automatically award the full professional credential named by the course. PECB assesses the applicable application, experience and activity requirements, including any available Provisional tier. Review the course-specific credential table before enrolling; the title is not a promise that you already meet its requirements.
How does the included exam retake work?+
PECB’s current general policy includes the first exam attempt, one free retake and the certification application in partner training fees.

Check your voucher dates before scheduling. This is not a promise of 12 months of course-material or lab access.
Does every New Zealand AI business have to comply with the EU AI Act?+
That cannot be determined from location alone. Activities, roles, market connections and the system’s use matter. This course helps you organise those questions; it is not a legal determination that the Act does or does not apply to a particular organisation.
