What it leads to

From your first module to client work.

The certification is free because advisors are how many companies meet the AI Act. Here is what happens after you sign up.

  1. 01
    Learn

    All 11 tracks and 78 modules open the day you sign up. Most modules end in a self-check.

  2. 02
    Pass the exam

    60 questions from every track, three attempts. Your certificate number can be checked by anyone, below.

  3. 03
    Join the directory

    Apply once with your CV and the services you offer. One approval opens both: you see the open requests companies post for those services, and you are listed in the directory, where companies can ask you directly.

  4. 04
    Work with clients

    Take on the companies who ask, and open workspaces for your own clients. The first three are free; from the fourth, the practice is €99 a month. You quote your work and are paid directly; we take no commission.

The exam

Multiple choice, one correct answer.
Time limit
90 min
Server-enforced. No pause.
Pass mark
42 of 60
And at least half of each track’s questions.

No cooldown between attempts.
