AIGP study guide
Use the current IAPP Body of Knowledge as a coverage reference and these free lessons for retrieval practice. Use the published outline as the reference if a third-party resource differs.
What the exam covers
The current AIGP outline groups the exam into the following study areas.
- Foundations of AI governance
- Laws, standards and frameworks
- Governing AI development
- Governing AI deployment and use
A practical way through the study guide
- Read one study area for structure before memorising details.
- Close the lesson and write the rule, exception and trigger from memory.
- Answer related questions without notes.
- Record the reason for each error.
- Return after a delay and test the same concept in a new scenario.
Do not read every page in order merely to finish the library. Use the diagnostic and question history to spend more time where recall or application is weak.

Apply this decision
When studying a proposed AI use, start with its purpose, affected people and lifecycle stage, then identify the governance evidence the organisation needs. Read the source context.
Common mistake
Memorising framework names without practicing how they guide a real organisational decision.

A four-area map and practical study sequence
AIGP preparation is easier to organize as four connected areas: foundations, laws and frameworks, development governance, and deployment and use governance.
Practical example
Study a new AI use from purpose and affected people, through applicable obligations, development controls and the checks needed before deployment.
Common mistake
Learning framework names without connecting them to a lifecycle stage, governance decision or accountable person.
| Study area | First task |
|---|---|
| Foundations of AI governance | Explain why a proposed use needs governance and who owns the decision. |
| Laws, standards and frameworks | Identify the relevant legal or governance instrument before selecting a control. |
| Governing AI development | Map data, design, testing, documentation and release controls. |
| Governing AI deployment and use | Assess context, affected people, oversight and monitoring after deployment. |
