EU AI Act training with certificate
A compact, accessible course that makes your team demonstrably AI-literate in a short time, and cleanly documents compliance with the AI literacy obligation under Article 4.
What does the training cover?
The training consists of four progressive lessons and a final quiz. It conveys exactly the knowledge that the EU AI Act expects of companies and their employees, practical, jargon-free and easy to follow. Each lesson ends with a short comprehension check; only after passing does the course continue. This ensures that the competence acquired is genuinely demonstrable at the end, not merely certified.
AI basics
What is artificial intelligence, how does it work, and where are its limits? A well-founded introduction requiring no prior technical knowledge.
The EU AI Act
The four risk classes, deployer obligations and the central significance of the AI literacy obligation under Article 4 at a glance.
Safe use of AI
Assess outputs correctly, recognise risks and use AI responsibly in a professional context.
AI in everyday work
Concrete application scenarios: what AI literacy looks like in a real working environment, practical and immediately applicable.
The course is aimed at all employees, regardless of position, department or prior technical knowledge. There are no role-specific variants: the same four lessons apply to management as well as to operational staff.
How long does the training take?
The training is designed to take approximately 30 to 60 minutes, depending on individual learning pace and the time spent on quiz questions. Most participants complete all four lessons in a single session. This is not a multi-day course: the content is deliberately compact so that even teams with busy schedules can fit the training into their working day without extensive planning.
Anyone who needs to pause can pick up exactly where they left off at any time. Progress is saved automatically. The deadline by which training must be completed is set internally by management or authorised users. The statutory deadlines of the EU AI Act — in particular Article 4, which has applied since 2 February 2025 — are explained in detail on our deadlines page.
Certificate and proof
After successfully completing the course — all four lessons passed and the final quiz answered correctly — each participant receives a personal certificate bearing their name, the date and a unique certificate ID. The certificate documents individual competence and is available to download and share as a PDF.
At company level, all completions are automatically compiled into a Vanta-compatible ISO 27001 audit report, audit-proof and exportable at any time as a CSV or PDF. In addition, the Compliance Score gives management an at-a-glance view of what proportion of the company's employees have already been certified.
Who is the training for?
The training is designed for all employees in a company, from management to operational staff. The only requirement is a personal access code provided by the company. Employees do not need their own user account and do not have to register anywhere. This lowers the barrier to entry to a minimum and increases the team's actual completion rate.
The system distinguishes four roles covering different administrative functions:
- Management: full access rights. Sees the company-wide compliance score and can export all reports and certificates.
- Authorized users: can invite employees, manage departments and view training status.
- Accounting: access to billing data and training credit balance, without visibility of training content or certificates.
- Employees: start the training using a personal access code, without needing to create their own account.
How the onboarding works step by step — from creating the first team to issuing the first certificate — is described on the How it works page.
Multilingual, GDPR-compliant, EU hosting
Companies in the EU are often multinational. employees do not always speak German or the corporate language. The training is therefore available in 26 languages: all 24 official EU languages plus Norwegian and Icelandic. Each person completes the course automatically in their own language, without the need for manual intervention by administrators. The certificate is also issued in the chosen language.
- GDPR-compliant: no sharing of personal data with third parties, no tracking services without consent, no external font CDNs.
- EU hosting: all data is stored exclusively on servers in the EU (Frankfurt region), no third-country transfer, no Privacy Shield risk.
- CSV and PDF export: all training records can be downloaded at any time, for internal filing or external compliance reviews.
- Accessible: the platform is designed to WCAG standards: fully usable by keyboard and screen reader, with sufficient colour contrast, so that every employee can participate.
Frequently asked questions about the training
Do all employees need to complete the training?
Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires companies to ensure that persons who use AI have sufficient AI literacy. In practice it is advisable to train all employees, because anyone who occasionally works with AI tools in their daily work qualifies as a deployer within the meaning of the Regulation. More on the exact requirements is explained on the Art. 4: AI literacy page. Further common questions are answered on our FAQ page.
What happens if someone fails the quiz?
The quiz can be retaken as many times as needed. There is no waiting period and no maximum number of attempts. The certificate is only issued once all questions have been answered correctly. This mechanism ensures that issued certificates reflect genuinely acquired competence rather than mere participation. This is relevant because the EU AI Act demands demonstrable competence, not just attendance, as also explained in the EU AI Act basics.
