Unusually for this evidence base, EY contributes a publicly verifiable credential standard rather than a training programme. Its AI badges set required tiers for consulting and advisory staff: Bronze demands 15 hours of training, Silver hands-on practice in one or two AI capabilities, and Platinum knowledge and oversight in a large-scale AI programme, all verifiable on Credly.
Platinum badge: deep understanding across at least four AI capabilities; earners are recognised thought leaders who provide oversight in a large-scale AI programme.
Silver badge: broad AI understanding with in-depth knowledge of 1-2 capabilities; a hands-on practitioner actively involved in AI projects who shares knowledge via coaching or client presentations.
Bronze badge: basic understanding of Applied AI concepts; requires 15 hours of training; earners must communicate understanding to internal and external parties. Publicly verifiable on Credly.
