AI literacy · Article 4 EU AI Act

AI literacy training, demonstrably arranged in one day

Since 2 February 2025, organisations that use AI must ensure sufficient AI literacy among their employees. We train your team at your own site, on your own work processes, and you receive the accountability document with it. One day, immediate result.

For logistics, food manufacturing and agri-food · on site across the Netherlands

In brief
  • AI literacy has been mandatory since 2 February 2025: organisations that use AI must ensure demonstrable knowledge among their employees (Article 4 EU AI Act).
  • There is no mandatory certificate or number of hours. What counts is demonstrability: trained people, an adopted policy and a record of who was trained in what.
  • We arrange this in one Practice Day on site from €2,450, including the accountability document. SMEs can use SLIM subsidy for it.

What the law asks

No exam, but demonstrability

Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires no certificate and no fixed number of hours. The law asks for measures that fit your organisation and your AI use, and for the ability to demonstrate them. If your team uses ChatGPT, Copilot or AI in planning, quality control or administration, you are covered.

  • Employees who work with AI understand what it can do, what it cannot do and where the risks sit
  • The measures fit the role: a planner working with AI routes needs different knowledge than HR
  • You can demonstrate what you have done: who was trained, in what and when
  • Prohibited AI practices are known and ruled out in your organisation

The timeline

The obligation already applies, supervision is coming

  1. 2 Feb 2025

    Article 4 takes effect: organisations that use AI must ensure sufficient AI literacy among their employees.

  2. 2 Aug 2025

    Transparency obligations for general-purpose AI models (GPAI), such as ChatGPT and Copilot.

  3. 2 Aug 2026

    National supervision takes shape: the Dutch DPA (AP) and the RDI receive key roles in enforcement. From now on, you can be asked about it.

Based on Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 and the announced Dutch supervision structure. European simplification proposals are under way; the core of the literacy obligation remains in place. Not legal advice.


The programme

One day, at your site

No standard slide deck. The examples come from your sector and the afternoon revolves around your own work processes, so the training also delivers the first working AI application.

Morning: the foundation

What AI is and what it is not, opportunities and risks in your operation, the GDPR and the AI Act in plain language, and the prohibited practices. No theory lecture, everything built on examples from your sector.

Afternoon: hands-on with your own work

Your team gets to work with AI on one of their own work processes, under guidance. Safe use, good prompts, and knowing when the human decides. That way it sticks and the day delivers something straight away.


What you hold in hand

The deliverables

Accountability document

Who was trained, in what, when and by whom. Your evidence towards regulators, auditors and clients.

AI usage policy

A practical policy template for AI use in your organisation, tailored to your situation. You review and adopt it.

Safe working agreements

Concrete dos and don'ts for working with ChatGPT, Copilot and sector tools, within the GDPR.

Follow-up roadmap

Where AI helps your operation fastest and what a logical next step is. Without obligations.


Who it's for

From the work floor to the boardroom

Teams in logistics, food manufacturing and agri-food that work with AI or are about to. From planners and quality staff to directors and HR. Also a good starting point when AI is barely used yet.

Frequently asked

Frequently asked questions about AI literacy

Is AI literacy really mandatory?

Yes. Article 4 of the EU AI Act has applied since 2 February 2025 to organisations that use or provide AI professionally. European simplification proposals soften the wording slightly, but the core stands: employees who work with AI must understand it sufficiently, appropriate to their role, and you must be able to show what you have done about it.

We only use ChatGPT or Copilot. Does it still apply?

Yes. The obligation also applies to the use of general-purpose AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot or Gemini in daily work. That is exactly where the practical risks sit: confidential data in prompts, output adopted without checks, and GDPR issues.

Is there a mandatory certificate or number of hours?

No. The law prescribes no certificate, exam or fixed number of hours. What matters is measures that fit your organisation, and demonstrability. That is why we deliver an accountability document after the training: who was trained, in what and when. That is what you want to be able to show.

What changes on 2 August 2026?

That is when national supervision takes shape: the Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) and the RDI receive key roles in enforcing the AI Act in the Netherlands. The obligation itself has applied since February 2025. Organisations that arrange it now will have nothing to repair later.

How much time does it take our team and what does it cost?

One day, at your own site. The training is delivered as our Practice Day (from €2,450, excluding VAT) and combines AI literacy with hands-on work on one of your own work processes. Prefer self-study for a larger group? The Online Learning Track is available from €450 p.p..

Do we qualify for subsidy?

SMEs in the Netherlands can apply for SLIM subsidy for learning and development tracks; an AI literacy track can be part of that. The application window for individual SME applications runs from 10 August to 7 September 2026, with subsidy up to €24,999 per application. You apply yourself at Uitvoering van Beleid; we are happy to think along about a track that fits. More on the offer page under SLIM subsidy.
