The AI Brevet

The driving license for anyone working with AI and Generative AI.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) – is the force behind the new industrial era. Self-driving vehicles, voice and image recognition, healthcare analysis, robots and personalized information on social media.  Artificial Intelligence (AI) has permeated our world, changing our society, our economy and our lives. AI based applications are central to the business model of some of the most powerful and successful commercial businesses today.


AI itself is however not new – it has been with us since the 40s and inspired the science fiction genre in entertainment. Many of the algorithms that we use today were invented and scientifically proven in the 1950s. The difference between then and now is the availability of data and low-cost communication and computing power with which we can now apply algorithms to create innovative, smart applications of AI. With such a powerful tool that AI represents, comes great responsibility. In parallel with the applications which benefit society, we have also witnessed applications of AI which can cause great harm to society, undermine democracy, increase discrimination and raise many ethical questions. Military applications have transformed warfare and sovereign governments view AI capability as a strategic national capability. Will AI take over humans? Some believe this may happen, but long before then, the humans who use AI will take over from the humans who don’t, and the companies which apply AI will take over from those who don’t. This raises a new business and societal imperative – to educate leaders, managers, governments, consumer protection organisations, and a broad cross section of our society on what AI is (and is not), what benefits we can enjoy with it, and how to deal with the risks and ethical questions which it raises.

The Netherlands AI Coalition

The Netherlands AI Coalition (NL AIC) is a public-private collaboration which aims to promote the responsible use of AI within the Netherlands. The coalition consists of government, business, educational institutions and communities working together to accelerate AI developments and to share and connect initiatives.

With the Human Capital Agenda (HCA), the NL AIC supports a set of initiatives which aim to raise awareness and capability in the field of AI in The Netherlands. This includes tertiary education at bachelor and masters levels, PhDs and lifelong learning. For more information and activities concerning the AI Coalition refer to the NL AIC website.

The Professional Certification Programme (described in this document) is part of the HCA and is aimed at providing recognised certifications for competency in AI. Whilst this may typically be achieved with participants following short education paths, the focus of this certification is the competence of professionals as demonstrated by successfully passing an exam, based upon a syllabus issued by NL AIC. The Professional Certification Programme does not accredit training programmes, nor require that participants have followed a training programme.

This programme is therefore complementary to other tertiary education programmes which aim to develop a deeper understanding of AI, how it operates with underlying algorithms, approaches, and specialist techniques.

Intended Audience

The AI Brevet Certification is aimed at executives, managers and professionals who wish to progress beyond basic awareness to acquire an understanding of what AI is, how it works, and where it can be applied – including both benefits and risks.

It is therefore ideal for people for whom the concept of AI is relatively new and who wish to become competent in AI, are considering becoming involved in the application of AI or who must make informed decisions about the application of AI in their business domain.

Your investment

The AI Exam requires preparation, which means this is an investment in time for personal study and attention for the subject of AI. You are completely free to do this in several ways and can consider self-study, reading the reference materials listed in the syllabus or following a training programme which is designed in line with this syllabus.

Refer to the list of topics in this syllabus. Here you can see which subjects you will be tested on during the exam. The time it takes to prepare for the exam depends on your prior knowledge, experience, and training. Commercially offered training programmes that prepare for the AI Brevet Exam will typically last 2 to 3 days. You should allow sufficient time for self-study to address the subjects listed in this syllabus.

Preparation and recommended literature

During your exam preparation, you will familiarise yourself with the concepts of AI for example by following a course and reading specified literature. There are ongoing publications about AI. So, it should be straightforward to find books, articles, blogs, vlogs, or videos about the different aspects. We include a recommended reading list in this syllabus.

We also advise you to contact people who work with AI and observe what they do and see the techniques they use – and talk to them.

We have included the following in the syllabus to help you get started:

• Specifications of the examination material – divided into modules.
• How each individual module weighs towards the overall exam.
• A list of key terms and concepts detailing what must be covered.
• Literature suggestions are available for newcomers in field. Note many of the AI concepts are established for some time and widely accepted with online and offline reference materials available.
• A practice exam is available online after purchasing an exam. The practice exam contains questions at the same level as the questions in the actual exam. The number of questions may differ from the actual exam. The actual exam includes 60 questions and you will have 60 minutes to answer them.

Preparation training

We endorse the added value of thoroughly preparing for the AI Brevet Exam and strongly recommend preparatory classroom training, webinars and online eLearning journeys. This can help you to understand the essence of AI and can give you practical examples. That said, it is not mandatory to follow specialised training.

The Netherlands AI Coalition does not accredit trainers, training institutions or training programmes. The composition and duration, organisation, pricing, and execution of the training is the responsibility of the trainer.
