AI Governance Practitioner Program: Course 4

Writing AI Governance Policies 

Most AI governance fails at the policy stage. This course is where you fix that.

Organisations write principles that sound right in board presentations and mean nothing on the ground. Policies get filed. No one follows them — not because people don't care, but because the documents don't tell them what to do.
Course 4 closes that gap. You'll write five governance documents — from scratch, using proven frameworks — that business leaders, legal teams, risk functions, and practitioners can all actually use.
By the end, you'll have an:
  • AI Governance Charter
  • AI Governance Policy
  • AI Risk Management Policy
  • AI User Policy
  • Integrated AI Policy (for smaller organisations) 
Each built from templates you can adapt and deploy immediately. This is the course where everything from Courses 1–3 becomes something you can hand to someone.

What You'll Learn

Translate governance foundations into policies, decision frameworks and artefacts that guide AI use in practice.

Write governance-ready AI policies

Structure documents that define clear boundaries, assign accountability, and tell people what to do rather than what to aspire to.

Define decision boundaries for your organisation's AI use

Articulate what AI can be used for, under what conditions, and whose approval is required.

Connect policy to principles and mechanisms

Align your policies to the governance mechanisms from Course 3 so that intent, operational controls, and formal documentation reinforce each other.

Build documentation that holds up under scrutiny

Produce governance artefacts designed for internal assurance teams, executive oversight, and external review by auditors, partners, and regulators.
