Proven, not attended
EU AI Act Implementation Expert
The EU AI Act as a job rather than a summary: classify your systems, assemble the technical file article by article, and leave able to defend both to an auditor.
For the person who has to implement the EU AI Act, not just explain it: compliance, legal, product.
How do I comply with the EU AI Act?
First by classifying your system correctly, because almost every obligation follows from the tier, and a wrong classification makes everything downstream wasted work. Then by assembling the technical file, Articles 9 to 17 plus 27, which is the Act's hardest artifact and the one law firms explain rather than build. This program is taught against the consolidated text as amended by the Digital Omnibus, Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, and states which deadlines moved and which did not rather than leaving you to work it out.

After completing this program, you will be able to:
The Technical File, Article by Article
Articles 9 to 17 plus 27, taught as a build sequence ending in an assembled technical file. Law firms explain the Act; this module has you construct its hardest artifact.
You build or sell AI systems. Your spine is Modules 3 to 4: the technical file, conformity, and CE marking, built ahead of the 2027 to 2028 deadlines.
You use AI systems: hiring tools, chatbots, GPAI wrappers. Your spine is Modules 2, 5, 7, and 8: classification, GPAI duties, liability, and incident response.

What a recruiter and your board see
A record instead of a claim: a permanent link listing every topic you passed with the score you earned, signed so an altered copy fails verification, and able to answer an employer’s questions only from what you actually passed. No outside body accredits GAGE and this page does not pretend one does. What it offers instead is evidence anyone can open in seconds and test, and the tests to put it through are published.

How mastery is proven
Completion is not the bar here. Every claim on your credential is earned through assessment, and your final Mastery Score is built from two halves. The first half is where the teach-back lives.
Every topic ends with a server-graded check: pass at 80% or the next topic stays shut. Where a topic’s own recording is loaded (6 of 64 today, and growing), it also ends with a teach-back: you explain the lesson in your own words and it is graded against that recording on four dimensions. A topic’s score is the average of what it asked of you, and the running average across topics is half of your Mastery Score.
Finish every topic and face the summit: a timed, open book final exam of scenario judgment (open book on purpose: we test judgment, not memory), or a rubric-graded capstone project you actually build.
Your credential lives at a permanent signed URL. Employers scan it, see every verified competency with real scores, and can ask it questions grounded in what you actually passed.
Scenario responses are graded on four dimensions no multiple-choice exam can measure:
One focused 30-minute session per topic on the required path. The depth (full read, audio, slides, infographic, prompts) is there when you want it, never forced.
Your passed explanations become part of your credential. An employer who scans it can read how you explained each topic, in your words, if you choose to share them. You own your work and the dossier is off until you turn it on.
What every topic gives you
The lesson, the vocabulary, the prompt library, the scenario and the assessment are on every topic. Video, slides and audio are added as each program is recorded, and a topic shows only the formats it actually has.
Built sourced, shipped verified
Every topic is researched against real, cited sources, then scanned for gaps, bias, hallucination, and outdated material before it ships. Every review pass is logged with evidence, so the quality bar is verifiable, not a claim. The content you learn from has been pressure-tested before it reaches you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The program is taught against the consolidated text as amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, and it states which deadlines moved and which did not rather than leaving you to work it out.
The technical file, article by article, Articles 9 to 17 plus 27. Law firms explain the Act; this program has you assemble its hardest artifact and defend it.
The AIGP certifies that you know AI governance, through a proctored multiple choice exam. This program certifies that you can run it: you build the artifacts, defend them under review, and every topic you pass is written into a signed record an employer can open and question. People who hold both put the AIGP on the line above and this record underneath it, because one says you speak the language and the other shows the work. The full comparison, domain by domain, is on the page called After the AIGP. AIGP is a certification of the IAPP, which is not affiliated with GAGE.
No. The program adapts to your role: executive, technical, legal, clinical, or any other.
No. The grader reads for understanding, not for writing. Spelling, grammar and typing mistakes are never counted against you, and plain words that show you really understood the lesson score higher than polished sentences that only repeat its terms. If typing in English is the harder part, you can speak your explanation instead.
Every topic is researched against real sources and checked for gaps, bias, hallucination, and outdated material before it ships. When the rules move, the content moves with them.
A completion record with your assessment score. Pass every core topic and the program mastery exam to earn your signed GAGE credential: a living record anyone can verify in seconds by scanning its QR seal. Bonus tracks add visible evidence but never gate the credential.
They stack; they do not repeat. The Certified AI Governance Professional program covers the Act in one executive module as part of running a whole governance function. This program is the implementer's deep dive: 64 topics on classification, the technical file, conformity, CE marking, and the audit-ready portfolio. Take the one that matches the seat you sit in, or both if you own both jobs.
Many certification bodies accept self-reported outside training: IAPP members, for example, can self-report relevant non-IAPP training at 1 CPE per hour of study, validated by proof of completion or an assessment, within 90 days of the activity. Your GAGE credential is built for exactly that kind of proof: it records the program and every mastery assessment you passed, with scores, at a link your certifying body can open. Check your own body's policy before relying on it.
