Article 4 · AI literacy
Training your team can actually sit through, and a record you can actually show
Article 4 asks providers and deployers to ensure a sufficient level of AI literacy among the people using AI on their behalf — proportionate to the context, not to a syllabus. Six modules, about 100 minutes, scenario questions rather than definitions.
There is no such thing as a mandatory AI Act certification
Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 rewrote and softened Article 4. It is a proportionate expectation, not an audited duty with a prescribed curriculum — and nobody is accredited to certify compliance with it. Be sceptical of anyone selling you one. What genuinely helps is a plan you followed and a record with names and dates on it.
Syllabus
What is in it
- 01
What the AI Act is, and who it lands on
Free15 minWhy the law reaches ordinary companies, and the one distinction everything else depends on.
- Say whether your organisation is a provider, a deployer, or both — and why it matters
- Recognise the three ways an ordinary company accidentally becomes a provider
- Know which obligations apply today and which are still ahead
- 02
The things you may simply not do
Paid15 minEight prohibitions in force since February 2025, two more from December 2026, and the three an ordinary employer can actually trip.
- Recognise the prohibitions an ordinary company is realistically at risk of
- Understand why a notice or a consent form cannot rescue a prohibited practice
- Know what changes on 2 December 2026
- 03
Telling people — the duties that already bite
Paid15 minArticle 50 has applied since August 2026. Chatbots, generated content, deepfakes, and the wording that satisfies each.
- Identify which Article 50 duty each of your systems triggers
- Distinguish a visible label from machine-readable marking — they are different duties
- Know why 'it's obvious it's a bot' is usually not a defence
- 04
High-risk: what it is, and what a deployer actually does
Paid20 minThe two routes in, the filter that gets you out, and the duties that land in December 2027.
- Tell the Annex I route from the Annex III route
- Apply the Article 6(3) filter honestly, including the profiling override
- List what a deployer of a high-risk system must do, and by when
- 05
Using generative AI at work without causing an incident
Paid20 minConfidentiality, personal data, hallucination, automation bias — the module that prevents the most actual harm.
- Know what must never be pasted into a tool, and why recall is impossible
- Recognise fluency as a risk signal rather than a quality signal
- Understand where responsibility for an AI-assisted output sits
- 06
Sector module — pick one
Paid15 minOne sector module, chosen to match the learner. These are alternatives, not four extra modules.

For comparison, live training in this market runs at roughly €400 for two hours and €1,600 for an on-site day. The reason we can charge this is that a self-paced course costs us nothing to deliver — not because it is worth less.
