AI Literacy
AI Literacy
Article 26(2) of the EU AI Act requires deployers to give human oversight to people with the competence, training and authority it needs, and Article 4 still asks for AI literacy across the organisation. We meet both with courses by role, each ending in an attestation you can export and show a regulator.

Why it matters
Literacy You Can Evidence
The duty reaches everyone who works with AI: the board that carries oversight, the executive who is personally accountable, the operator running a high-risk system, and the compliance, validation, audit and HR teams who own the work. Article 26(2) asks whether the people overseeing a system are competent to do it.
Each course has lectures, scenario-based assessment and a set pass mark, and each ends in an attestation the organisation keeps as evidence for that person. Courses assume no technical background. The practitioner levels build on a discipline the learner already has.
Courses by Role, in Proportion to Risk
Everyone takes the common foundation, then the depth their role needs. A short bridge course fills any gap first.

Attestations Become Evidence in the Record
Where the Intelligence Centre finds a gap in a role, the right course appears against the open obligation. Certification shows against the work in Standard Practices. Each completion goes back into the system record as evidence that the person is trained.
The programme is training content, not legal advice on any individual's or organisation's specific position. Course codes and running times are measured from the course catalogue on 29 September 2026 and are subject to revision. Board members and accountable executives should take their own counsel on their specific accountability profile.
