Recognised frameworks
Built on the frameworks Europe already uses.
The AI Badge programme is mapped to three European competency frameworks and three international ones. The mapping is written into every credential, so your badge reads in terms that HR teams, universities and regulators already know.

How it works
From your first video to a signed credential.
-
01
Watch
A short tutorial, most under twenty minutes, made for people who do not write code for a living.
-
02
Build
Every tutorial ends with an exercise. You make a web page, a game, a published project, or a decision you have worked through with AI.
-
03
Submit
Paste the link to what you made. AI marks it against a published rubric. If it is not there yet, improve it and resubmit for free.
-
04
Earn
Finish Level 1 and request your certificate. It is signed, verifiable, and yours to share on LinkedIn.
Curriculum
The whole of Level 1 is under two hours of video.
These are the actual tutorials inside, with their running times. The ones marked open are yours as soon as you sign in. Nothing expires.

In their words
People Victor has trained.
The team's officially AI-empowered. We covered everything from how AI can automate the boring stuff, to how generative models can help us brainstorm, create, and bring procurement into a new era.
Victor is incredibly knowledgeable in all things digital and has a desire to continue to learn and help people and businesses pursue their digital transformation.
Victor delivered the keynote at our GenAI hackathon. It was a big hit and opened people's eyes at all levels to what can be achieved with GenAI.

Questions
Before you start.
How does it work?
Sign in for free and the first three tutorials open straight away; email Victor for full access to the rest. Do each exercise as you go. You submit a link to what you made. If it meets the bar it is approved; if not, you get notes and resubmit at no cost. When every Level 1 tutorial is approved, you request your certificate.
Is the certificate free?
Yes, Level 1 is free for everyone, including the review, the signed credential (Open Badges 3.0, Ed25519) and its permanent public link. The Level 2 certificate for the terminal track is €49, paid once when it is issued.
How much time do I need?
The Level 1 videos add up to under two hours. The exercises take longer, and most people spread the whole thing over a few evenings. There is no deadline.
Do I need technical experience?
No. Level 1 is written for non-technical professionals and starts from zero. If you already code, the Level 2 terminal track will stretch you.
What if my submission is not approved?
You get specific, kind notes on what to improve, and you resubmit whenever you are ready. Re-review is always free.
What does the certificate look like?
A signed credential with your name, a verification QR code, the AI Badge mark and its framework alignment, hosted at a public link that anyone can check. See a real one.
Can my employer sponsor this?
Yes. Email Victor about team access, group arrangements or invoice-based payment.
The first tutorial takes seven minutes.
