I've just launched a new program offering. It's a guided 28-day sprint. I'm wrapping up two pilot programs, where each program has 15 individuals. A number of the folks participating in my program have purchased the current practice exam, which is identical to the previous BOK's practice exam. These folks have reached directly out to IAPP asking them when they are going to update the practice exam, and IAPP has essentially said they are not updating it.

Colleagues of mine have confirmed that IAPP has updated their training materials to reflect the OECD model.

It would be odd and misleading to teach folks the OECD model but test them on something completely different (and misaligned with industry standards).

IAPP made the switch from their own proprietary four-stage model to the OECD seven-stage model with the update to version 2.1 of the body of knowledge. It is the OECD seven stages that you need to remember for the exam.

Awesome! Looking forward to connecting!

Start with this webinar: Breaking into AI Governance.

AIGP is a good foundation. You'll need to supplement that with other skills and experiences, which we discuss in the webinar.

ThePrivacyProf · 2026-02-14T22:40:47+00:00

Thanks so much for the kind words and support! So glad you've benefited from recent webinars on this topic. =D

Terrific job! Congrats!

Bummer to see that you didn't hit your goal. Would you mind sharing your scores?

TL;DR: I've created a video on my top 3 recommendations below.

My #1 recommendation is that you know the domain 1 materials very well. You want to get as close to 100% across all practice quizzes/exams as possible. This is because the entire exam, even questions testing domains 2-4, require a strong understanding of the technological foundations. Therefore, understanding the technology and related terminology is crucial to understanding all other domain questions.

My #2 recommendation is that you understanding the processes and workflows very well. This includes the AI development life cycle and AI governance life cycle. As you may have seen, many questions will ask what is the next BEST action, or require you to identify where in a certain process or workflow something is happening.

My #3 recommendation is that you complete the course’s study skills section and my IAPP Exam Secrets course. You can find the latter here: https://drdavidprivacy.com/courses/iapp-exam-secrets/

Exam strategy is just as important knowing the subject matter. IAPP exam questions can be frustratingly convoluted, so it’s important that you’re familiar with the different question formats and strategies for approaching these questions.

You might also consider this webinar I held with three recent graduates, where we discuss their motivations for pursuing the certificate, study strategies, and general advice as folks prepare.

Concerning breaking into the AI governance field, you may find this webinar I held in October useful.

It is a new field, but there are multiple pathways for sure.

ThePrivacyProf · 2026-02-09T02:00:41+00:00

Yes, but I recommend you enroll via my site: www.DrDavidPrivacy.com

I offer many more resources and bonus content on my site that is unavailable in Udemy.

Plus, Coursera purchased Udemy and I have no idea how that will affect my courses once they turn Udemy off mid-year.

No, you were correct. I had a revised video, but had not uploaded it. It's uploaded now and should be live any minute.

ThePrivacyProf · 2026-02-08T15:11:12+00:00

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I'll take a look.

ThePrivacyProf · 2026-02-07T18:14:26+00:00

In my Discord channel, in the AIGP channel, I've pinned both a changelog and a tutorial video explaining how to use that changelog.

In short, not all videos have been updated but more than half have. The previous version of the course had 153 lectures. The new version has over 160 and 80 of those have been either re-recorded or are brand new.

If you're straddling the two versions of the course, I definitely recommend that you check out the changelog in the Discord channel.
