The Literacy Track

Article 4 compliance with a soul — AI literacy for the whole company, taught as a capability, not a checkbox.

01 / Why now

The law already started.

Since February 2025, the EU AI Act has required a sufficient level of AI literacy across every organisation that puts AI to use — Article 4, in force, not a future deadline. The obligation is real and it is yours.

The market’s answer was the checkbox webinar: an hour, a slide deck, a tick in a box. It meets the letter of Article 4 and misses the entire point — your people sit through it and use AI no more wisely on Monday than they did on Friday.

The Literacy Track meets the point. It treats literacy as a capability the whole company carries, taught on your own work, and it leaves behind the evidence the Act asks you to keep.

Article 4 · in force since Feb 2025

Providers and deployers of AI systems must ensure a sufficient level of AI literacy among their staff and anyone operating AI on their behalf — taking into account those people’s knowledge, the context of use, and the people affected.

The letter is a webinar. The point is a workforce that uses AI well.

02 / Clause to programme

What the Act asks. What we deliver.

Article 4 is not vague. Here is each thing it asks for, mapped to a concrete part of the programme.

What Article 4 asksWhat the Literacy Track delivers
A sufficient level of AI literacy among the staff who use or operate AIA foundations module everyone completes — what AI is, what it is not, and how your people actually use it day to day.
Account for their technical knowledge, experience and educationRole-banded tracks: a starting line for the non-technical, a deeper one for builders, so no one is bored and no one is lost.
Account for the context the system is used inThe equation in plain terms, taught on your own workflows — literacy that fits the work, not a generic webinar.
Account for the people and groups the system affectsA session on safe and effective use — bias, oversight, data care, and knowing when a human decides.
Keep evidence that the measures were takenA literacy register template you keep: who was trained, on what, when — the paper trail your counsel can point to.
03 / What's covered

Lighter than Certified. On purpose.

This is literacy for everyone, not the five-week rewrite. Four things, taught plainly, landed in the actual job.

01

Foundations

What AI is, what it is not, and where it belongs in your work. The shared baseline the Act asks for.

02

Safe and effective use

Oversight, bias, data care, and the judgement to know when a plausible answer is the wrong one.

03

The equation, in plain terms

TBC = V + D(P/HX)^AI without the jargon — the one frame that makes the rest make sense.

04

Role-specific application

What this means for finance, for HR, for sales — the same literacy, landed in each person's actual job.

04 / The literacy register

The evidence you keep.

Article 4 asks you to be able to show the training happened. The register is how.

Every company on the Literacy Track keeps a register — a living record of who was trained, on what, and when.

It is a template we give you and you maintain: the curriculum, the modules each person completed, the dates, the materials. When a regulator or your own counsel asks for proof that you took Article 4 seriously, the register is the answer.

We are honest about what it is. It is a document you keep, not a certificate we sell. The integrity of the evidence comes from the training being real — which is the part we make sure of.

Specimen · literacy register
  • Who: each member of staff who uses or operates AI.
  • What: the modules completed, mapped to Article 4.
  • When: the date each module was completed.
  • Context: the workflows and role band it was taught against.
  • Materials: the curriculum and version, kept on file.

A template you keep — not a certificate we issue.

06 / The honest part

What this is, and what it is not.

Plainly stated

The register is evidence that training happened. It is not legal advice, and it is not a compliance certification. We do not certify that your organisation is compliant with the EU AI Act, because that is not ours to certify.

Your counsel signs off on compliance. We make the literacy real and give you the documentation to show for it. That division of labour is deliberate — and it is the honest one.

07 / Questions

Real answers. Every one.

It makes the literacy real and gives you the evidence that it happened — the register, the curriculum, the attendance. Whether that satisfies your obligations is a determination your legal counsel makes; we are not a law firm and this is not legal advice. We make the training genuine and documented; your counsel signs off on compliance.

English by default, with German for on-site and private company cohorts in the DACH region. Other languages on request for volume engagements — tell us what your workforce needs and we will scope it.

Both. The live sessions run remote-first, with on-demand modules your people complete in their own time, and we deliver on-site for company cohorts where the room matters. Most companies mix the two.

A literacy register: a template you own and maintain, recording who completed which modules and when, alongside the curriculum and materials. It is a document you keep as proof of training — not a certificate we sell you, and not, on its own, a guarantee of compliance.

It is published, not hidden behind a call. Teams start at CHF 390 per seat; at 100 seats or more it is CHF 290 per seat. For a whole workforce we will quote the volume rate against your headcount and your language needs.
