AU0010 · Level 5 AI leadership unit
AI Leadership: AI Adoption, Procurement and Governance
A TIQPlus course for leaders who need to evaluate AI systems, make defensible procurement choices and establish responsible governance. AU0010 focuses on supplier evaluation, acquisition risk, assurance, documentation, transparency and human oversight.
Who this course is for
AU0010 is designed for employed leaders who shape, influence or support decisions about AI adoption. It is especially useful where an organisation is moving from ideas and pilots into vendor selection, procurement controls, governance design or assurance planning.
Governance and risk owners
Leaders who need to define roles, escalation routes, assurance evidence and controls for safe AI adoption.
AI programme sponsors
Business sponsors who need to understand AI procurement risk, human oversight and documentation requirements before rollout.
What learners work on
- Evaluate AI vendors using structured criteria for cost, performance, risk and data readiness.
- Make procurement decisions using testing, benchmarking and user validation evidence.
- Assess acquisition risks including vendor lock-in, data, intellectual property and sustainability.
- Design governance frameworks with clear roles, responsibilities and escalation pathways.
- Embed ethical, legal and regulatory considerations into AI decision-making.
- Define assurance processes for documentation, auditability, transparency and human oversight.
TIQPlus positioning: AU0010 is the practical bridge between AI strategy and safe adoption. Learners leave with governance and procurement artefacts that are useful beyond the Skills Test.
