Registered adult education provider in HungaryAdult education registration number: B/2026/000648
What does the programme provide?
A shared, accessible understanding of AI for relevant employees
Recognition of the opportunities, limits and risks of the AI systems in use
Preparation tailored to roles and the organisational context
Certificates of completion for participants who meet the requirements
Who is it for?
Less suitable
- replacing a complete legal or technical AI Act audit
- independently satisfying every compliance duty applicable to a high-risk AI system
What does Article 4 require?
An appropriate level of AI literacy
Providers and deployers of AI systems must take measures to ensure that relevant employees and other persons acting on their behalf have sufficient knowledge to use AI.
Not limited to employees
The requirement may also cover people operating or using AI systems on the organisation's behalf, including certain contractors and service providers.
Knowledge- and role-based preparation
Training should account for participants' technical knowledge, experience, education and the tasks in which they use AI.
A risk- and context-based approach
A writing assistant, a system processing customer data and a higher-risk decision-support solution require different preparation.
The minimum areas identified by the Commission
01
A general understanding of AI
What is AI, how does it work, which AI systems does the organisation use, and what are their most important opportunities, limits and risks?
02
Clarifying the organisation's role
Does the company develop or provide its own AI system, or use another provider's system? The programme clarifies the related responsibilities.
03
Understanding system risks
Participants learn about typical errors, data issues, human-review points and risk-reduction measures for the AI tools they use.
04
Adapting preparation to context
The curriculum reflects participants' knowledge, roles, affected people, intended use and industry context.
Organisation-specific implementation and documentation
The European Commission does not prescribe a single mandatory training format or a separate AI Act certificate. Preparation should reflect the organisation's role, systems, risks and people. QvAI covers the minimum areas and applies them to the organisation's own AI use cases. As a registered adult education provider in Hungary, we issue certificates to participants who meet the requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Since when has Article 4 applied?
The AI literacy requirement in Article 4 has applied since 2 February 2025. Organisations must design suitable measures around the AI systems they provide or deploy, the context of use and the people involved.
Which companies are affected?
The requirement concerns organisations that provide or deploy AI systems. In practice, this can include many companies whose employees use general-purpose or embedded AI tools for business tasks.
Is this exact training format mandatory?
No single format is prescribed by the European Commission. Appropriate measures depend on the organisation's role, system risks, participant knowledge and context of use. Structured, documented training is one strong way to address these needs.
What are the minimum areas linked to Article 4?
Commission guidance highlights a general understanding of AI, the organisation's provider or deployer role, risks of the systems concerned, and preparation tailored to participants and the specific context of use.
Does the certificate prove full AI Act compliance?
No. It documents completion of the programme requirements. The Commission does not require a separate Article 4 certificate, and full organisational compliance depends on more than training. Any additional measures must be determined based on the AI systems in use and their risks.
How is the programme tailored to the company?
Before starting, we review the AI tools in use, affected roles, data and approval rules, and typical risks. Examples and exercises are then based on these real situations.
