Our mission
Putting the power of AI in everyone's hands.
From bricklayer to retiree, from freelancer to director — we believe AI literacy should be as basic as being able to email. Not because it must, but because it makes your work more fun, faster and better.
That's why we build training that starts where our students are: no assumptions, no technobabble, and always with direct application in their own work.
What sets us apart
We're not a tech company that sells training. We're educators who use AI as a tool — and you feel that difference in every session.
Our promise
Not satisfied after the training? You get your money back. That's how confident we are in our quality.
What we stand for
Four core values, every single training.
Practical over theoretical
We don't teach concepts — we train skills you'll use at work tomorrow. No jargon, just results.
Safe & responsible AI
We teach you what AI can do and, just as importantly, what you shouldn't do. GDPR, data leaks and hallucinations: openly discussed.
Everyone deserves access
From bricklayer to executive: AI skills shouldn't be a privilege. Our pricing and language reflect that belief.
Honest about AI's limits
We don't sell miracles. Where AI falls short, we say so. Trust starts with honesty.
Trusted by
Already 500+ professionals trained at organisations like:
And 1,200+ other employers in our network recognise the Liplyn AI-Ready Badge.
Recognition & quality
Officially registered, independently audited.
Our training meets the strictest quality standards for Dutch corporate education.
- GDPR-compliant education
- Recognized by construction & real estate industry associations
