## AI Control Architecture — Practitioner Course

A hands-on course that takes you from *"what is AI control?"* to running a full assessment on a real AI use case — and proving the result. It's the fastest way to put the architecture to work in your own organisation.

**Who it's for:** security architects, AI governance and risk teams, privacy, compliance, internal audit, and the engineers building AI — anyone who has to answer *"is this AI under control?"* and prove it.

**By the end, you'll be able to:**

- Inventory and risk-tier any AI use case
- Select the graduated controls that apply at its tier
- Grade how strongly each boundary holds — Declared → Evidenced → Verified → Enforced
- Collect audit-ready evidence and run an assessment end to end, reusable across obligations

## Put it into practice

The course pairs with the open specification and the reusable templates. Start with the [Quickstart](/architecture/quickstart), keep the [Templates](/architecture/templates-and-examples/templates) open as you go, and use the [Resources](/explore/resources) for the executive pack.
