Aicertia’s Executive Accreditation Model for the EU AI Act Expert credential is designed according to senior executive standards and structured into four strategic phases that validate the candidate’s executive capabilities and technical-legal judgement.

Phase 1: Candidate Selection, Admission, and Portal Access

As this is a senior executive-level credential, the process begins with a preliminary assessment of the candidate’s professional background and suitability.

Once the admission criteria have been met and enrolment has been completed, the candidate receives exclusive access credentials to the Aicertia Candidate Portal. From that moment, they have a flexible 12-month period to review the competency framework, download the official standards guide, and select the assessment dates that best suit their professional schedule.

Phase 2: Expert Theoretical Assessment — Online

Phase 3: Expert Opinion and Practical Case Resolution

This phase represents the definitive assessment of advanced professional competence.

The candidate must resolve a highly complex real-world corporate scenario by:

• Conducting a technical and legal audit of an AI system operating in a production environment.
