Course 1: IAM for the Agentic AI Era
About AI AWARE CERTIFIED™
At AI Aware Certified, we don't just teach theory; we build practitioners. As autonomous agents and non-human identities (NHI) redefine the enterprise perimeter, traditional security frameworks are no longer enough. We provide high-density, lab-based certifications designed by industry veterans to help you master Identity, Governance, and Operations in the agentic era.
From navigating the complexities of the EU AI Act and ISO 42001 to engineering automated enforcement boundaries, our mission is to ensure security professionals have the practical tools to enable velocity without sacrificing safety.
Stop watching. Start building.
Expertise Built in the Trenches
Built from a decade of hands-on IAM, governance, and security architecture — real production incidents, real audits, real Zero Trust rollouts. Not theory. Not vendor-speak. Practitioner-grade certifications for the people doing the work.
Lab-First Learning
Forget passive videos. Every module includes a cloud-hosted lab where you'll configure non-human identity (NHI) enforcement boundaries, automate AI governance agents, and walk away with reusable artifacts your team can use Monday morning.
Audit-Ready Outcomes
Aligned to NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and EU AI Act. Every module produces audit-ready evidence — concrete artifacts your governance team and auditors can actually use, not theory for your bookshelf.
Community of Peers
Join a private network of IAM engineers, security architects, and governance leads — sharing real production patterns, reviewing each other's work, and tackling the same Monday-morning AI problems you are.

Frequently asked questions
What makes AI Aware Certified different from other AI training?
Most AI training teaches you what AI is and how to use it. AI Aware Certified teaches you how to govern it — specifically, how identity, access, and oversight controls work when AI agents act autonomously in your environment. Every module ends with a tangible deliverable: policy templates, gate documents, audit-evidence packages. If you need to show your CISO or auditors concrete controls — not just "we sent the team to training" — this is built for you.
Course 1 is designed for security and IAM practitioners. We assume basic familiarity with identity concepts (what a service account is, how role-based access works, what a security policy looks like in practice). We do not assume any AI background — that part we teach. If you're newer to security, you can still complete the course, but plan for roughly 30% more time on supplemental reading. We'll surface recommended resources where relevant.
You may enroll any day of the year. Be online and start studying within a matter of seconds after enrolling. Course 1 goes live May 14.

Troubleshoot issues with Video
Our video player automatically tries to adjust the video quality to your internet speed, giving you the highest quality possible but in certain cases, for very slow connections, this might not be possible. If you’re experiencing excessive buffering during playback, it’s probably because your Internet connection cannot support continuous playback of the video. In this case try to reset your connection/internet router or, if possible, try accessing your online courses using a better internet connection.
You may also want to try one of the following: 1. Close extra browser tabs or other applications that may be using up your bandwidth. 2. Make sure you're using the latest version of your browser.
How long does it take to complete a course?
It depends on the course. Each course has different time requirements. Read the course's description or contact your instructor for more specific details.
What will you do with my e-mail address?
Your e-mail address is your key to your school. It is fully safe with us and we will use it only to communicate with you if necessary.
Does access to my paid courses expire?
In most cases, once you have enrolled to a course you will have access for lifetime. Courses with limited time access say so clearly in the course description.
Can I sample a course or lesson before deciding to purchase a course?
In many cases courses have one or more free sections that you can sample before you decide to purchase a course.
How do I know that you have received my order?
Once your payment has been successfully processed, your course will be immediately accessible to you. If the course hasn't unlocked despite you payment going through, then please contact the site's owner and you will be given access to the course asap.
