Dublin, Ireland – May 8, 2025

Digital Learning Institute (DLI) today announced the Professional Certificate in AI Literacy—a 12-week hands-on programme that gives working professionals from a wide variety of backgrounds the practical, ethical framework to use generative AI with confidence. 

For several years DLI has specialised in helping L&D and education teams navigate digital disruption and artificial intelligence in their vertical, guiding more than 4,000 professionals in 800+ organisations. The new certificate answers growing client demand to make that same proven methodology available to the entire workforce.

• Work-integrated projects – learners apply AI techniques to their own tasks and report measurable impact.

• Ethics-by-design – privacy, bias mitigation and regulatory guidance embedded throughout.

• University-level QA – academically benchmarked at EQF Level 5 and aligned to SFIA and EU AI guidelines.

Organisations may enrol individuals in the public cohort or commission a closed, company-specific cohort..

Aaron McKenna, CEO of Digital Learning Institute said:
“Our clients trust us to translate emerging tech into skills people can use on Monday morning. Extending that promise from L&D teams to the wider workforce is a natural next step—and a critical one as AI reshapes everyday work. This certificate gives professionals a structured, responsible path to AI fluency in just 12 weeks.”
