EU AI Act Training Curriculum

Since 27 July 2026, Article 4 of the EU AI Act asks providers and deployers to take measures to support the AI literacy of their staff and others using AI systems on their behalf; it does not require a guaranteed level of AI literacy. Our two-tier curriculum - CPD accreditation in progress with an independent accreditor - delivers the training and a completion record your organisation keeps.

Evidence, Not Just Training

Designed to issue a certificate of completion

On completion, the course is designed to issue each learner a certificate of completion (PDF) showing their name, the course, the completion date and a serial number, which they can add to LinkedIn themselves.

The completion report is designed to give your organisation a record of who completed the course and when, with each learner's quiz score and certificate serial number.
