EU AI Act corporate training for compliance teams, legal, and executives: in-house workshops, executive briefings, and custom programmes. One Art. 4 AI literacy measure you can record. Tailored to your AI systems, sector, and team structure.
Why your team needs structured EU AI Act training
The AI Act is already in force. Prohibited practices have been banned since 2 February 2025. GPAI obligations apply since 2 August 2025. High-risk AI system obligations arrive 2 December 2027 — but a realistic compliance programme takes 12–24 months to implement. The organisations that start structured training in 2026 will be audit-ready in 2027. Those that start in late 2027 will not.
Art. 4 is not a formality. The obligation binds the organisation and asks it to take measures supporting AI literacy — the Digital Omnibus softened the wording in July 2026, it did not remove the duty. In a regulatory inquiry or civil claim, what you are asked for is the record of what you actually did, and "we sent the team a link to the regulation" is thin. A structured, role-appropriate programme with a certificate per participant is one measure you can put in the file, dated and attributable.
Three formats — from executive to practitioner
Executive briefing (2 hours)
For board members, C-suite, general counsel, and senior management who need to make strategic decisions without becoming technical experts.
What it covers:
- The AI Act in 20 minutes: scope, risk tiers, key deadlines, who is liable
- Your AI inventory risk exposure: which systems trigger Annex III? What is your fine exposure?
- The compliance decisions that need executive sign-off: QMS investment, notified body selection, budget allocation
- DORA and NIS2 interactions for regulated entities
- Q&A on your specific AI systems and strategic questions
Format: On-site or virtual · 2 hours · slides + written briefing pack
Practitioner workshop (full day — 8 hours)
For compliance officers, DPOs, legal counsel, risk managers, and product team leads implementing the compliance programme.
What it covers:
Morning: Understanding the obligations
- Risk classification in depth: Annex I, Annex III, Art. 6(3) exclusion, GPAI tier
- Your AI inventory mapped to Annex III categories
- Role separation: who is the provider, who is the deployer, what obligations apply to each
- Prohibited practices: are any current systems already non-compliant?
Afternoon: Implementing the compliance programme
- Building the risk management system (Art. 9): live walkthrough of the Risk Register template
- Technical documentation (Art. 11 + Annex IV): structure, content, what notified bodies check
- Human oversight design (Art. 14): who is the responsible person, what oversight mechanisms are required
- Conformity assessment: self-assessment vs. notified body, timeline, EU database registration
- Post-market monitoring: what to track, incident reporting thresholds, serious incident procedure
Included: Risk Register template, Technical Documentation template, Data Governance checklist (all XLSX, pre-mapped to Annex III). Certificate of completion per participant.
Format: On-site or virtual · Full day · Workshop format with your AI systems as the case study
Custom e-learning module (asynchronous)
For organisations that need structured training available to all staff on demand, at scale.
What it covers: A custom module mapped to your internal AI governance policy, your specific AI inventory, and your role taxonomy. Staff complete the module independently; results and certificates are tracked centrally.
Ideal for: Large organisations (100+ staff), organisations with multiple locations, compliance programmes requiring documented completion rates.
Format: Asynchronous · Custom content · Central tracking · Certificate per completion

Sector-specific customisation
EU AI Act obligations are not sector-neutral. We customise all programmes to your industry:
Financial services — DORA overlap, credit scoring AI (Annex III — essential services), fraud detection, algorithmic trading, customer-facing AI obligations. Includes dual-regulation gap analysis for DORA + AI Act.
Healthcare and medical devices — MDR/IVDR integration for Annex I high-risk AI, clinical AI risk assessment, data governance for health data, notified body coordination.
HR and recruitment — Employment AI (Annex III, Art. 6(2)(d)), bias testing requirements, FRIA (Art. 27), candidate transparency obligations, right to explanation.
Critical infrastructure — Annex III category mapping, national competent authority requirements, incident reporting, resilience testing.

AI Act meets DORA and NIS2
Is your organisation subject to both the AI Act and DORA? The two regulations intersect on the operational resilience of financial AI systems. Our sister site regulation-dora.eu covers DORA in depth — including what the AI Act adds on top of an existing DORA programme.

Art. 4 of the EU AI Act requires organisations (both providers and deployers) to take measures supporting the development of AI literacy among staff who work with AI systems. Since the Digital Omnibus rewrote it in July 2026, the obligation is one of means: it does not require you to guarantee a specific level for any individual, but the measures are what an authority can ask you to produce. For organisations with several teams interacting with AI — legal, compliance, product, HR, procurement — individual self-study is impractical. A structured corporate programme gives consistent knowledge across teams and produces a dated, per-participant record of one Art. 4 measure. It is not, on its own, the whole of your compliance programme.
A corporate programme is structured in two tracks: an executive track (obligations, risk exposure, strategic decisions, budget implications) and a practitioner track (risk classification, technical documentation, human oversight design, conformity assessment). The executive track runs 2–4 hours; the practitioner track runs a full day. Both are customised to your specific AI systems and sector.
Yes. In-house delivery (on-site or virtual) is the preferred format for teams of 5 or more. It allows the programme to be customised to your AI inventory, your sector's specific Annex III categories, and your existing compliance frameworks (GDPR, DORA, NIS2). The session is tailored to your AI systems, not hypothetical examples.
A 2-hour structured briefing for board members, C-suite, and senior management covering: what the AI Act requires (obligations, not just principles), which AI systems in your portfolio trigger high-risk status, the compliance timeline and what deadlines are already missed (Art. 5 prohibitions, GPAI obligations), the liability and fine exposure (up to €35M or 7% global revenue), and the strategic decisions needed now (QMS, budget, notified body selection).
The Pro certification can be licensed for teams. A team licence gives multiple users access to the 8 modules and 3 templates, with individual certificates per person. Contact us for team pricing (available for 5+ users). For larger organisations (25+ staff in scope), an in-house programme is typically more cost-effective and produces better outcomes than individual licences.
We deliver customised EU AI Act training for: financial services (DORA overlap, credit scoring AI, fraud detection), healthcare and medical devices (MDR/IVDR integration), HR and recruitment (employment AI — Annex III category), critical infrastructure, and legal/professional services. Sector customisation includes mapping your specific AI use cases to the Annex III categories and identifying the overlaps with your existing regulatory frameworks.
