Ready to lead an AI ethics assessment?

The IEEE CertifAIEd Practical Assessment Master Class is the crucial next step in your CertifAIEd learning pathway.

This deep-dive, hands-on training course is specifically designed to provide participants with the practical, real-world experience needed to conduct a full AI ethics assessment using the IEEE CertifAIEd process. You will move beyond foundational knowledge by focusing entirely on applying the methodology and working directly with the full CertifAIEd criteria suites to model an end-to-end assessment. This course is an important evolution of the introductory training, providing a high-fidelity mock assessment environment where participants take on the essential roles of both Lead Assessor and Subject Matter Expert (SME).

To qualify for the IEEE CertifAIEd Practical Assessment Master Class, participants must meet one of the following requirements:

  • Possess an existing CertifAIEd Assessor Credential or CertifAIEd Lead Assessor Credential.*
  • Have successfully completed the AI Ethics Professional Certificate course and successfully passed its accompanying exam.

Master the ability to conduct assessments. 

You will develop the essential skills necessary to scope projects, expertly manage assessment workshops, and apply the CertifAIEd criteria suites to produce the core deliverables of an ethical AI assessment. This Master Class offers the critical opportunity to model a full assessment and create the ‘Case for Ethics’, ensuring you are fully prepared to lead or participate in an actual CertifAIEd engagement. Enroll now to gain the practical competence required to earn your Assessor Credential!

Key Skills You Will Master

The content of the course is a deep dive into the CertifAIEd assessment process, focusing on:

  1. Scope and Create the Concept of Operations (ConOps):
    • Understand what a ConOps is.
    • Identify and classify stakeholders.
    • Create a ConOps from provided information.
  2. Facilitate an Ethical Values Elicitation:
    • Facilitate the value elicitation process.
    • Cluster elicited values to criteria suites.
    • Understand the different perspectives in the profiling process (technical, customer, etc.).
  3. Create the Case for Ethics:
    • Identify ethical impacts and risks within the process/ConOps.
    • Perform an ethical profiling exercise.
    • Understand how to assess ethical risk.
    • Map values to criteria suite requirements.
  4. Evaluate a Case for Ethics:
    • Select and customize criteria EFRs and evidence.
    • Translate requirements and evidence into client-appropriate and accessible language.

You will also learn about the various roles of an assessor, select the appropriate participants for the profiling and assessment process, and identify the questions to ask during the profiling process.

Place in the AI Ethics Ecosystem

The IEEE CertifAIEd Practical Assessment Master Class is a crucial component in the overall IEEE CertifAIEd Program. This course bridges the gap between the foundational knowledge acquired in the IEEE CertifAIEd AI Ethics Professional Certification Course and upon completion, you will earn the IEEE CertifAIEd Lead Assessor Credential.

Once you have completed this course and obtained your  IEEE CertifAIEd Lead Assessor Credential, you are ready to start conducting assessments. IEEE now offers the licensing of the “Assessed by” logo for your use. This logo mark will convey the trust and confidence associated with the IEEE brand.

*Grandfathered Assessors have until June 2026 to complete this course in order to be eligible for the free License use of “Assessed by” logo for 6 months.

IEEE CertifAIEd Key Principles

There are four key areas that provide the framework for IEEE CertifAIEd certification:

  • Transparency criteria relate to values embedded in a system design, and the openness and disclosure of choices made for development and operation
  • Accountability criteria recognize that the system/service autonomy and learning capacities are the results of algorithms and computational processes designed by humans and organizations that remain responsible for their outcomes
  • Algorithmic bias criteria relate to the prevention of systematic errors and repeatable undesirable behaviors that create unfair outcomes
  • Privacy criteria are aimed at respecting the private sphere of life and public identity of an individual, group, or community, upholding dignity

As a result, IEEE CertifAIEd certification helps protect, differentiate, and grow product adoption by demonstrating a trustworthy AIS experience to users.

“Data security and data protection must be at the forefront when using AI from the very beginning. That’s why we relied on international expertise (from IEEE) during the development of the software and had our program ethically certified.”

– Deputy Director General for the City of Vienna, Peter Weinelt
