CPD points and AI training
Does AI Act training count toward your CPD points? Here is how it works
Whether AI Act training earns CPD points is decided by the relevant professional body. LearnWize provides role-based AI literacy, assessment, verifiable completion, and organisational evidence records; formal CPD recognition depends on the rules of the specific scheme. Article 4 has applied since 2 February 2025 and requires an appropriate level of AI literacy, not one prescribed certificate.

Evidence dossierArticle 4
The question is not whether AI training is useful, but whether it counts and can be proven.
More and more professionals with a CPD obligation want to use their mandatory education to genuinely understand AI. That makes sense: AI is already part of the daily work of accountants, lawyers, notaries, mediators, payroll professionals and valuers. But there is a gap between an interesting course and education that fits your scheme and that you can demonstrate.
Unclear whether an AI course fits the points scheme of your professional body.
Providers that suggest points without the recognition actually being in place.
Certificates without hours or test results, which your professional body cannot use.
Generic AI courses that do not connect to your professional practice and duty of care.
No file your firm can use to show how AI literacy has been organised.
Evidence
What you hold in your hands after the training
Recorded hours
For every participant we record which modules were completed and how much study time was involved. That is the basis of any hours justification.
Test result
Understanding is assessed with scenario questions drawn from professional practice, not just knowledge questions. The result is stored per participant.
Certificate
The certificate confirms completion; time spent and assessment results belong to the organisational evidence records. Whether it counts in a points scheme is decided by your professional body, often via the provider's recognition.

Firms receive an overview per team: who was trained, when and with what result. Usable as part of a review-ready Article 4 file.
Teams
Who this matters to
Professionals with a CPD obligation
Accountants, lawyers, notaries, mediators, payroll professionals and valuers who already use AI and want to give their mandatory education real substance.
Training providers with a CPD offering
You have the network, the academy and often the recognition. LearnWize supplies the legal AI layer and the evidence beneath it, as co-brand, white-label or SCORM.
Quality and compliance leads
Firms and teams that want to make employee AI literacy demonstrable, independent of the individual CPD obligations of their professionals.

Background
How CPD points and AI Act training relate to each other
CPD points schemes differ per profession, but the principle is the same everywhere: the professional body decides what counts. In the Netherlands, the NBA does this for accountants, the NOvA for lawyers, the KNB for notaries, the MfN for mediators, NIRPA for payroll professionals and NRVT for valuers. Each scheme sets its own requirements for subjects, hours, assessment and sometimes the status of the training provider. A course never counts because its maker says so; it counts because your professional body's scheme allows it, often via a recognised or registered provider. Anyone looking for points should therefore start with their own scheme and with a provider that operates within it.
For these professions, AI literacy is not a fashion topic but professional substance. Accountants use AI in data analysis and audit work, lawyers in document review and research, payroll professionals encounter AI in HR and payroll tooling, valuers in model-based valuations. Article 4 of the EU AI Act has required organisations since February 2025 to ensure sufficient AI literacy among people working with AI systems. The adopted Digital Omnibus text moves most standalone Annex III obligations to 2 December 2027 once the amendment enters into force. Professional bodies see this too: AI appears more and more often in learning programmes and knowledge assessments.
Regardless of CPD recognition, good training produces organisational evidence records: time spent per learner, assessment results, and certificate status. The certificate itself confirms completion and does not automatically summarise hours or scores. For a firm, the organisation-wide report shows who completed which training, when, and with what result. CPD recognition remains dependent on the scheme and provider.
For providers looking to extend their CPD offering with an AI Act module, there are three delivery models. Co-brand: the training runs under both names and the provider brings the network and, where applicable, the recognition. For white-label delivery, brand and delivery scope are agreed in advance; removing every LearnWize reference, including certificate and registry branding, is not a standard promise. SCORM: the content is delivered as a SCORM 1.2 package for the provider's own LMS; that package has been tested end-to-end in Moodle, and behaviour in other systems depends on their SCORM 1.2 implementation. In all three models the division of roles stays the same: the provider knows the audience and the recognition route, while the legal content and the evidence layer beneath it come from LearnWize.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions for training providers and learning platforms
Does this training count toward my CPD points?
That is determined by the rules of your professional body and the status of the training provider, not by LearnWize. LearnWize holds no CPD accreditations of its own and therefore does not guarantee points. The certificate confirms completion; time spent and assessment results belong to the organisational evidence records. Many partner providers bring their own recognition. Check in advance with your provider or professional body whether the training fits your scheme.
Is AI literacy mandatory for professionals such as accountants and lawyers?
Article 4 of the EU AI Act has applied since 2 February 2025 and requires organisations that deploy AI to ensure their people are sufficiently AI literate. There is no separate fine attached to this article. The Digital Omnibus has been formally adopted but not yet published; the adopted text changes Article 4 into a duty to take measures that support the development of AI literacy. The current text remains in force until the amendment enters into force. The expectation from regulators, clients and professional bodies therefore still stands.
Can our training organisation offer this module under its own brand?
Yes. The module is available through co-branding, an agreed white-label scope, or as a SCORM 1.2 package for your learning environment. You keep the participant relationship and bring any recognition; LearnWize supplies the content, assessment, and organisational evidence records. A free partner pilot tests the exact scope with your audience.
Will the module work in our own LMS?
The module is delivered as a SCORM 1.2 package and has been tested end-to-end in Moodle, including progress tracking and test results. Whether the package behaves identically in your LMS depends on how that system implements SCORM 1.2. Always test it in your own environment first; that is exactly what the free partner pilot is for.
What exactly is on the certificate?
The certificate confirms the participant name, module, and completion. Time spent and assessment results belong to the organisational evidence records. Provider branding, registration details, or accreditation logos are used only when that party demonstrably holds the recognition and the certificate scope has been technically confirmed.
Why is AI literacy a natural CPD topic?
Because AI is already part of the daily work: file analysis, document review, payroll tooling, model-based valuations. Continuing professional development exists to keep you competent in a changing profession, and few developments touch as many professions at once as AI. Professionals who understand the risks, limitations and oversight requirements of AI systems practise better. That makes it a substantive CPD topic, regardless of how each scheme formally accommodates it.
Delivery models
One content layer, three ways to deliver
LearnWize provides role-based AI Act content with assessment and evidence. Training providers and learning platforms can start small through co-brand, launch their own academy, or place the modules in an existing LMS through SCORM 1.2.
