Questions You're Probably Asking

Answers to the most common concerns about AI literacy training and Article 4 compliance.

Is this only for IT departments or management?
No. Article 4 requires 'sufficient AI literacy' for everyone who deploys or uses AI — from the boardroom to frontline teams. Cross-company literacy is the point: research shows organisations achieve significantly better results when AI competence extends beyond a single department.
Do I need prior AI experience?
Not at all. This course is designed for decision-makers who need to understand the regulation and build an organisation-wide competence plan, not build AI tools themselves.
Is this just about ticking the compliance box?
Compliance is the floor, not the ceiling. Organisations that treat Article 4 as a checkbox miss the real opportunity: teams with genuine AI literacy make better decisions, adopt tools faster, and avoid costly mistakes. We teach you to build a competence framework that delivers both compliance and measurable business value.
How is this different from the workshop?
The workshop is instructor-led and on-site — ideal for intensive team alignment. This course is self-paced over 3 weeks with weekly live Q&A clinics, better suited for distributed teams or individual professionals building their own compliance roadmap.
Will this satisfy Article 4 requirements?
This course gives you the knowledge, assessment tools, and templates to build a defensible compliance plan. Full compliance depends on your organisation's implementation — but you will leave with a clear roadmap and evidence framework.
Is this training specific to Europe?
It is built around the EU AI Act, but the competence principles apply globally. Many non-EU organisations use our framework to prepare for regulatory convergence and improve AI governance proactively.
Is this training specific to Europe?
Yes. Our training is built around the EU AI Act and European regulatory frameworks, with a Europe-wide perspective. We track global developments that affect European practice.
Will this become outdated quickly?
We teach durable principles: verification, source evaluation, and workflow documentation.
Can I bring my team?
Yes. The Leadership course is designed for practice groups and legal ops teams.
Do I need technical skills?
No. The Mastery course includes assessment templates and guidance, but assumes functional—not engineering—backgrounds.
