# ISO 42001 Lead Implementer: fit and level check

## Is the credential a fit for your job?

- [ ] In the next 12 months I will lead, or sit on, an AI management system (AIMS) project
- [ ] I will have to answer customer or board questions about AI governance with evidence
- [ ] My organization runs ISO 27001 (or ISO 9001) and wants AI inside the same management system
- [ ] My organization has decided to seek ISO/IEC 42001 certification
- [ ] We provide, or plan to provide, an AI system that may be high risk under the EU AI Act
- [ ] I advise clients on implementing AI governance, not only on the law

Two or more ticks: the Lead Implementer fits the work. None: start with the course or with AIGP.
