AI literacy certificate with evidence value

A certificate is only useful if it proves something. We connect AI literacy certificates to learning goals, assessment, role context and exportable training records.

Why this is not only about knowledge

Article 4 of the EU AI Act has applied since 2 February 2025. Organizations must be able to show that people working with AI have sufficient understanding of AI capabilities, limits and risks. A strong approach combines training with role mapping, assessment, training records and an evidence file.

Certificates are linked to real learning goals
You can show who was trained per role and team
Training records are usable for internal or external questions
You have a basis for repetition and recertification

More than proof of attendance

Learning goals per role

The certificate shows which knowledge and scenarios were covered.

Assessment

Where needed, we assess understanding with questions or practical cases.

Records

You track who completed what and when.

Expertise and method behind this approach

The approach is built from AI governance, EU AI Act implementation and practical training rollout. AI literacy should not become a standalone awareness session, but an explainable combination of roles, risk, learning goals and evidence.

Frequently asked questions

Is a certificate legally required?

No, not as a standalone document. But certificates and training records can help show that you approach Article 4 in a structured way.

Can everyone receive the same certificate?

They can, but role-based certificates are stronger. A recruiter, leader and developer face different risks and learning goals.

Can we manage certificates automatically?

Yes. Through LearnWize, participation, assessment and certificates can be tracked at scale.

Is this a compliance guarantee?

No. It is evidence of training and understanding within a broader governance approach. Legal assessment remains context-dependent.
