AI training under the EU AI Act
Praxikon explains the current rule and helps you choose: AI literacy for all staff through LearnWize, or a Praxikon training or session for lawyers and boards.
Article 4 of the EU AI Act has applied since 2 February 2025. Since 27 July 2026, providers and deployers must take measures to support the development of AI literacy. Those measures should reflect technical knowledge, experience, education, the context of use and affected persons. The law does not require a specific individual level, standard course or certificate.

Article 4 does not prescribe a standard course. Organisations must take appropriate measures that reflect knowledge, experience, education, the context of use and the people affected by AI. Internal training records and guidance can help explain choices and support periodic review.

Short answers to the questions organisations ask most often. The answers follow the amended legal text in force since 27 July 2026.
Map who works with which AI systems and take appropriate measures to develop their AI literacy. Consider technical knowledge, experience, education, the context of use and the people affected by the AI system. Keep an internal record of the measures selected.
Article 4 requires appropriate measures but does not prescribe a specific training or standard course. Training can be an appropriate measure. Guidance, work instructions and practical exercises may also count when they fit the role and context.
No. Since 27 July 2026, Article 4 expressly states that no specific individual level must be guaranteed. The approach may differ by role as long as the organisation considers relevant knowledge, experience, education, context of use and impact.
No. The European Commission says no certificate is required. A certificate can still form part of an internal record together with training records, work instructions, practical guidance and periodic review.
Praxikon provides explanation and primary sources. LearnWize fits role-based team training, assessments and records for all staff. When Article 4 is part of a wider approach covering the AI inventory, risk classification, policy and governance, Praxikon carries that out itself, for example with a signed assessment or as external DPO with AI oversight.
If you mainly need evidence of team knowledge, start with LearnWize. If lawyers or the board first need to know the rules, or the work itself needs doing, start with Praxikon.
