Not a slide reader. A practitioner.
The course content is PECB's official courseware, so the curriculum and exam are identical whoever you buy from. Shenoy's part is the support around it:
Adapted to your background. From tech, you go deeper on tools, terminology and how AI systems work. From audit, risk or compliance, he keeps it in plain language and focuses on audit technique.
From your trainer until you clear your exam, within your 12-month enrollment window.
Drawn from real AI governance, security and ISO work, so the standard makes sense outside the slides.
