EU AI Act online training for compliance teams: free Fundamentals course (Art. 4 AI literacy certificate), Pro certification with templates (€299), and corporate in-house training. Updated for 2026 Omnibus deadlines.
The EU AI Act (Art. 4) requires every provider and deployer to ensure staff working with AI systems have sufficient AI literacy. The deadline is not fixed — the obligation runs continuously. Start with the free Fundamentals course to meet the Art. 4 baseline. Move to Pro certification to implement the full compliance programme.
High-risk AI system obligations apply from August 2026. Technical documentation, risk management, human oversight, and conformity assessment — all of these must be in place. Most compliance teams are starting from scratch.
The Academy gives you the structured path from zero to audit-ready: free fundamentals to understand the regulation, Pro templates and certification to implement it.

Compliance officers and DPOs — understand which AI systems in your organisation trigger obligations, build the risk assessment, and produce the technical file required by Art. 11. The Pro templates give you a working structure instead of starting from a blank spreadsheet.
Legal counsel — map your client's AI systems to the Annex III categories, identify prohibited practices (Art. 5), and prepare the declaration of conformity documentation. Module 7 covers the legal requirements of the technical file in detail.
Product and engineering teams — understand what "human oversight" (Art. 14) and "accuracy, robustness, and cybersecurity" (Art. 15) mean in practice, and what documentation your system needs before it can be placed on the market.
Financial institutions — if you are subject to both DORA and the AI Act, the Bundle covers the overlap: how DORA's ICT third-party risk framework applies to AI vendors, and how incident reporting obligations interact under both regulations.
For compliance, legal, and product teams that need structured EU AI Act training delivered to the whole organisation:
→ Corporate & executive training →
Pre-structured to the Annex III high-risk categories: biometric identification, critical infrastructure, education, employment, access to essential services, law enforcement, migration, and justice. Includes 50+ pre-populated risk scenarios, a 5×5 risk scoring matrix, mitigation tracking, and a review schedule aligned to Art. 9(4) requirements.
Structured section by section to Annex IV. Covers: system description and intended purpose, design specifications, training methodology, testing and validation data, performance metrics, risk management measures, human oversight mechanisms, post-market monitoring plan, and the EU declaration of conformity. Ready to hand to a notified body.
Covers Art. 10 obligations for training, validation, and testing data: relevance, representativeness, completeness, bias examination, and data management practices. Includes a section on data provenance documentation for GPAI models under Art. 53.
Every module maps to specific articles. There is no interpretation layer between the regulation and what you learn.
Module 6 (risk assessment) → Art. 9 · Module 7 (technical file) → Art. 11, Annex IV · Module 8 (human oversight) → Art. 14 · Module 9 (conformity) → Art. 43 · Module 10 (post-market) → Art. 72
The templates are pre-annotated with article references so you can verify every field against the source text.

Under Art. 4 of the EU AI Act, providers and deployers must ensure staff who work with AI systems have sufficient AI literacy. The minimum requirement is that all relevant staff understand the AI Act's scope, risk classification, and their organisation's obligations. The free AI Act Fundamentals course satisfies this Art. 4 requirement. Compliance officers and risk managers implementing a full compliance programme should complete the Pro certification.
There is no single official EU AI Act certification body designated by the EU. The regulation requires AI literacy (Art. 4) but leaves certification to the market. The regulation-ai.eu Pro certification is built to satisfy Art. 4 AI literacy requirements and documents completion of risk management, technical documentation, and conformity assessment training — the three core competencies needed for a high-risk AI compliance programme.
The free AI Act Fundamentals course takes 2–3 hours across 5 modules. The Pro certification (8 modules, 3 templates) takes approximately 8–10 hours to complete at your own pace. Corporate in-house programmes are typically delivered as a half-day executive briefing (4 hours) or a full-day practitioner workshop (8 hours).
Yes. The Pro tier includes a certificate per individual. For team licensing and corporate in-house training — including custom programmes for compliance, legal, and product teams — see the corporate training page or contact us directly.
The Pro tier includes three XLSX templates: a Risk Register pre-mapped to Annex III categories (50+ rows of common AI risk scenarios), a Technical Documentation Template structured to Annex IV requirements, and a Data Governance Checklist for Art. 10 (training data). PDF versions of all three are also included.
The Bundle adds a dedicated DORA module covering ICT risk management, third-party AI vendor oversight, incident classification, and the overlap between DORA Art. 28–30 and AI Act Art. 9 and 26. It includes additional templates for financial entities: a dual-regulation gap analysis and a vendor AI contract checklist.
