Governance-facing credential covering AI law, risk and responsible-AI practice.
NO independent accreditation was found on its page — a dated absence, not proof it will never have one. Compare CertNexus CAIP above, which is ANAB/ISO 17024 accredited. Both are vendor-neutral AI certifications; only one is independently accredited, and that difference is the point.

How we know
Fetched 2026-07-26 (3,369 chars). A case-insensitive scan of the full visible text for 'ANAB', 'ISO 17024' and 'accredit' returned ZERO hits. Re-checked with a headless browser on 2026-07-28: the fee is still not published on the issuer's own page, so it stays recorded as unknown.

BlueDot Impact — AI Alignment course
Free to learn · no certificate
Structured alignment curriculum, published unit by unit and browsable without signing up. "Start for free" is their own wording — but note the cohort is APPLICATION-GATED rather than merely free: you apply, you do not simply enrol.

BlueDot Impact — Technical AI Safety course
Free to learn · no certificate
Cohort-based technical safety course, free and application-gated; the curriculum is browsable without applying. TIME-SENSITIVE: when checked on 2026-07-26 the page read "Apply by 27 Jul", so that round has now closed or is closing. Check the live page for the current cohort rather than trusting this line.

The reference list of LLM application risks (LLM01 onward, 2025 edition), free and open like all OWASP projects. The risk listing also lives at genai.owasp.org/llm-top-10/ — that page's title reads "LLMRisks Archive", which is WordPress taxonomy naming for a listing page, NOT a sign it is outdated.
