EU AI Act-aligned proof of AI literacy
Since February 2025, Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires companies to ensure sufficient AI literacy among their staff. SixSides certificates serve as documented training evidence across tiered levels — from user to expert.
What employers can demonstrate:
- Article 4 training evidence (AI literacy obligation) — documented per employee
- Tiered competency levels (User · Practitioner · Builder · Engineer / Expert)
- Practical competency proof instead of theoretical training only — audit-ready
- Available as PDF certificate + LinkedIn badge with verification URL
- Combines with internal AI policy, data privacy training, ISO / AI management systems
Note: SixSides certificates are recognized training evidence but do not replace legal advice. Compliance scope is defined by the employer.
Stronger job prospects, higher day rates, clear market position
Visible in hiring
Recruiters scan profiles in under 30 seconds. A verifiable AI certificate lifts your LinkedIn profile above generic applications immediately.
Higher day rates for freelancers
Certified Claude specialists measurably command better rates than generic 'AI consultants'. Proof shifts the negotiation — from 'can someone do this?' to 'how soon is she available?'.
Internal promotion & salary
An external, practice-based certificate is solid leverage in performance reviews for more responsibility, lead roles in AI projects or targeted salary increases.
Direct access to the agency network
Claude Engineer grads get a profile listing in the SixSides Agency Network — Boris and team route freelance briefs directly to qualified certified graduates.
Career switch into AI roles
Practice certificates are the strongest signal when switching from classical roles (marketing, ops, engineering) into dedicated AI functions. You don't prove from zero — you bring evidence.
More work for the self-employed
Branding effect: on pitch decks, proposals and websites a certified badge separates 'yet another AI vendor' from 'verified specialist'.
Why a SixSides certificate carries weight
Practice instead of multiple choice
You build a real project from your work context. Working output is graded — not memorized answers. That makes the certificate market-credible.
Graded by practitioners
Reviews come from the founder and lead engineers who ship production Claude Code projects for clients every day. No reviewer who knows AI only from slides.
Verifiable & tamper-proof
Every certificate has a unique verification URL. Employers, clients, recruiters can check authenticity + tier with one click — no PDF forging.
EU AI Act-compatible
Tier model maps to the requirements of AI Act Art. 4. The certificate is not only a profile asset but a compliance building block for employers.
Current, not nostalgia
Curricula are updated quarterly to new Claude models, new tools and real client projects. What you learn is relevant today — not what mattered 18 months ago.
Personal mentoring
Live sessions, 1:1 office hours, cohort feedback. You're carried through — which raises completion quality and therefore the meaning of the certificate.
5+ years of curriculum experience
Before the academy existed, we developed curricula for three education institutes. We know how to make knowledge testable — not just how to present it.
100 % Claude focus
While others skim twenty tools superficially, we go deep — with the AI system that's becoming the standard in business. Specialization beats breadth.

FAQ
Do I get a certificate for every course?
Yes. Every course concludes with its own clearly named certificate — from Certified Claude AI User up to Certified AI Full Stack Expert. The tier is market-readable and can be used as a separate badge on LinkedIn.
Does the certificate help my employer with EU AI Act compliance?
Yes. Article 4 of the EU AI Act has required documented AI literacy since February 2025. SixSides certificates serve exactly this proof — tiered, documented, verifiable. They don't replace legal advice, but are recognized training evidence.
How is the certificate issued?
PDF certificate by email after successful completion + LinkedIn badge with verification URL. The URL leads to a public verification page with tier, date and authenticity check.
What's the pass rate?
For mentored courses (from Practitioner onward) with the cohort model, very high. We carry participants through — reviews, 1:1 sessions, repeat option. Attendance + project submission are the main criteria, not a quiz score.
What if I don't pass the final project?
You get concrete feedback and a resubmission window. For Claude Engineer, one free repeat in the next cohort is included — so the certificate stays market-credible.
Is there an official Anthropic vendor certification?
No, as of 2026 there isn't. The SixSides Certificate is the practice-based DACH alternative. If Anthropic launches a program, we'll extend the curriculum accordingly.
