Why this course

Annex III of the AI Act lists AI used to evaluate learning outcomes, steer learning or assess workers as high-risk. Those obligations now apply from 2 December 2027, and organisations need most of 2027 to prepare, so the course must run during 2027.

What you will be able to do

  1. Classify AI uses in credentialing under the EU AI Act, including the high-risk categories for education and employment.
  2. Design human oversight, documentation and quality controls for AI-supported assessment and skills inference.
  3. Test AI systems for bias and error with representative data.
  4. Prepare for the obligations that apply from 2 December 2027.
