AI & Agents Enabled Professional (eLearning+Classroom)

Professionals who learn to work with AI today increase their impact, agility, and relevance in a rapidly changing labour market.

AI is rapidly transforming how organisations operate, make decisions, and create value. From intelligent automation and data analysis to generative AI and intelligent agents, AI is no longer limited to specialists but has become a core skill for every professional. The e-learning AI & Agents Enabled Professional helps you apply AI in a practical, responsible, and effective way in your daily work, with additional depth in building and deploying intelligent AI agents.

In this e-learning, you develop a solid foundation in artificial intelligence, learn how AI systems work, and discover how to use advanced AI applications such as generative AI, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and autonomous AI agents for productivity, decision-making, and innovation. The focus is not solely on technology, but particularly on applicability, impact, and ethics.

After completion, you will not only understand what AI can mean for your role, organisation, and sector, but you will also be able to actively design, evaluate, and responsibly apply AI agents and AI solutions within your own work context.

This e-learning is designed for professionals who want to learn how to apply AI in practice, including:

* Professionals and managers in business, marketing, operations, and HR
* Consultants and advisors
* Product owners, project managers, and team leads
* Policymakers and professionals in knowledge-intensive roles
* Anyone who wants to understand and use AI without technical prior knowledge

The learning objective is to equip participants with the essential skills and knowledge to effectively apply AI across different business environments.After completing this learning pathway, you will be able to:

* Explain what AI is, how it works, and where it is and is not suitable
* Effectively apply generative AI and advanced AI tools in your daily work
* Critically interpret and evaluate data, algorithms, and AI outputs
* Recognise, understand, and apply AI agents, RAG systems, and intelligent automation
* Use AI for productivity, analysis, decision-making, and innovation
* Identify and address ethical, legal, and organisational risks of AI
* Formulate an initial, concrete AI and agent strategy for your role or organisation

The AI & Agents Enabled Professional programme consists of three interconnected modules that together form an in-depth and practice-oriented learning pathway: Data Driven Foundation, AI “Brevet” NL AIC, and Generative AI, Prompting & Agents Foundation. The programme combines online learning with extensive classroom-based deepening, where theory is directly translated into practical solutions.

Data Driven FoundationProvides the foundation for data- and AI-driven working, offering insight into how data and AI enable new business models and transform existing processes.

AI “Brevet” NL AICCovers the core concepts of AI, machine learning, and large language models. Participants apply this knowledge by building their own AI models, with attention to ethics, legislation, and responsible AI use.

Generative AI, Prompting & Agents FoundationFocuses on advanced and mature use of generative AI, prompt engineering, and the design and application of autonomous AI agents, including RAG architectures and agent workflows in a professional context.
Each module starts with e-learning and is further developed through one- or two-day classroom sessions. Through this blended approach, participants develop not only knowledge but also the practical skills and confidence to effectively and responsibly apply AI solutions and agents within their organisation.

The e-learning AI & Agents Enabled Professional is part of an integrated learning pathway in which online learning, classroom-based deepening, and formal assessment reinforce each other. The learning approach focuses on building both understanding and practical skills, from data-driven thinking to designing and deploying intelligent AI agents.

Data Driven Foundation (e-learning + 1 day classroom)This phase provides the foundation for data- and AI-driven working within organisations.

* Insight into how data and AI can fundamentally transform organisations
* Understanding of data- and AI-driven business models
* Breaking away from traditional ways of working and decision-making
* Applying data-driven thinking in strategy, processes, and decision-making

AI “Brevet” NL AIC (e-learning + 2-day classroom course)In this core module, you learn how AI really works and apply it yourself.

* Explanation of key AI concepts and models
* Introduction to machine learning and large language models
* Building initial AI models using automated machine learning
* Working with modern AI tools in a professional context
* Focus on ethics, legislation, and responsible AI use
* Collaboration between humans and AI in organisations
BREVET Exam (online, 1 hour)After completing the learning pathway, you take an official exam.

* Online exam via Van Haren
* Assessment of knowledge, understanding, and application level
* Validation of foundational AI knowledge according to recognised standards

Generative AI, Prompting & Agents Foundation (e-learning + 2 days classroom)The final module focuses on advanced and professional use of generative AI and AI agents.

* Advanced use of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT
* In-depth exploration of prompt engineering and prompt strategies
* Designing and applying autonomous AI agents
* Introduction to and application of RAG systems
* Understanding agent architectures and workflow automation
* Practical application of agents and generative AI in your own work context
Through this modular and in-depth structure, this learning pathway enables participants to learn how to apply AI and AI agents strategically, practically, and responsibly in their daily work.

* AI Strategy & Leadership
* Generative AI & Smart Agents
* Data & AI Foundations
* Responsible & Ethical AI
* Blended AI-programmes and in-depth workshops

The e-learning can be followed in either English or Dutch. After completing the e-learning modules, you will participate in the classroom sessions. These sessions take place in Utrecht and are mostly conducted in Dutch, although English-language sessions are also available—see our schedule for more information: https://axveco.com/en/start-here/#JourneySchedule
We provide access to our own hosted GPT and Automated Machine Learning environments, which are compatible with company laptops. Additional new tools are also introduced; however, it is possible that not all of them are permitted on your company laptop. You will be able to use our core tools during the e-learning and access them directly during the classroom sessions (or via our account if needed).
