FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the certification tied to the regulatory AI framework?

The competence assessment is oriented towards the AI management system per ISO/IEC 42001 and takes central regulatory requirements into account. It does not, however, involve a legal conformity assessment of individual AI systems.

Is the certification aimed only at technical roles?

No. AI governance is interdisciplinary. It addresses both technical and governing and supervisory roles responsible for AI systems.

How is currency ensured?

Certified individuals receive an official certificate that specifies the scope and validity period. For re-certification, you must demonstrate that you still possess the required competence. This is done by proving your knowledge of current developments in your field.
