Weekend cohorts, with the dates already set
Live, facilitator-led sessions that run on weekends so working professionals can actually attend. Every session is hands-on in a cloud lab — participants work in a real terminal rather than watching slides, with nothing to install beforehand. Book a whole cohort, or a single Saturday.

AI SOC Analyst — six Saturdays
One continuous breach investigation, worked across six Saturday sessions Bangalore or virtual. The sessions build on each other, so the cohort is the intended route — but each Saturday can also be booked on its own if you only need that piece.

Two ways to take this
The six Saturdays are one continuous investigation, so the full cohort is the intended route. If you only need a particular capability, book that session on its own — the dates above each have their own page and checkout.
Cohorts
Leadership certification cohorts
Leadership and governance certifications, each run with international coverage at the request of our global members. Five 2-hour evening sessions Monday to Friday, then a full-day Saturday immersion. Sold as a complete cohort rather than by the day.
Certified AI Governance Leader (CAIGL)
Next cohort: 16–21 Nov · international
Your organisation is already deploying AI, governed or not. CAIGL is where CIOs, CISOs and GRC leads build the judgment to defend a risk-tiering call or audit a model card, against real governance exhibits rather than an exam.
Programme detail
Certified AI Security Officer (CAISO)
Next cohort: 30 Nov–5 Dec · international
You already run the security function. What you have not been tested on is the boardroom — defending a budget to a CFO, translating risk into language a CEO will act on, and owning the call when an attacker gives you an hour to answer.

Want one of these run for your team?
Workshops are scoped to the audience — a placement cell, a security team, or a leadership group all need a different session. Tell us who it is for and we will come back with a shape and a date.
