AI literacy training for your staff under the EU AI Act.
If your business uses AI, you have had to take measures for AI literacy in your team since February 2025. This training lays the groundwork in half a day – with a certificate of attendance for every participant.
On-site in the Stuttgart region or online anywhere in Germany, up to 10 people per session, €890 fixed price.
Do I have to train my staff?
In most cases, yes. If your business uses AI systems, you have to take measures that support the AI literacy of the people working with them. Training is the most straightforward way to do that – and to document it.
The duty is set out in Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, the EU AI Act, and has applied since 2 February 2025. Since 27 July 2026 it has applied as amended by the Digital Omnibus Regulation (EU) 2026/1744: providers and deployers of AI systems take measures to support the development of AI literacy among their staff and other persons working with AI systems on their behalf. They do not have to guarantee a specific level of AI literacy. The earlier wording required them to ensure, to their best extent, a sufficient level of AI literacy.
You count as a deployer as soon as you use AI professionally – ChatGPT or Copilot in the office, say, or AI features in accounting or CRM software. There is no minimum size: the duty applies to a five-person business just as much as to a mid-sized company.
There is no fixed number of hours and no mandatory certificate. How much training is needed depends on who uses which AI for what. It makes sense to document every measure so you can prove it if asked.
In Germany, the Bundesnetzagentur (Federal Network Agency) has been responsible for oversight since 29 July 2026. It has published a guidance paper on AI literacy: Bundesnetzagentur guidance paper (PDF, in German)

AI is already in use. Training almost never is.
56 percent of companies with 20 or more employees already use tools like ChatGPT or Copilot at work, but only 27 percent have trained their staff in using AI (Forsa survey of 500 companies commissioned by the TÜV Association, January to March 2026). TÜV Further Training Study 2026 (in German)
What the training covers.
Six blocks in half a day – no prior knowledge needed, with examples from your own business instead of generic slides.
Basics: opportunities and limits
What AI can and can't do, how language models arrive at their answers, and where they genuinely save time at work.
Spotting typical mistakes
AI sounds convincing but is sometimes wrong: made-up figures, sources or legal references, known as hallucinations. How your team checks results before they go out.
Data protection and confidential data
Which data shouldn't simply go into AI tools – personal data of customers and staff, contracts, trade secrets – and why the GDPR still applies.
Copyright and labelling
What to watch out for with AI-generated text and images: rights to the material you put in, providers' terms of use, and when labelling content as AI-generated is appropriate.
Safe use in your own daily work
The tools your team actually uses, applied to real tasks from your business: quotes, emails, summaries, research – what works well and what to avoid.
Rules for your business
The cornerstones of an internal guideline: which tools are allowed, which data stays off-limits, and who checks AI results before they are passed on.
Half a day. Up to 10 people. €890.
One session, one fixed price: the training takes half a day and costs €890 for up to 10 participants.
- Half a day, tailored to the tools your business uses
- Up to 10 people per session
- On-site in the Stuttgart region or online anywhere in Germany
- Certificate of attendance for every participant
€890 is the final price – as a small business under § 19 of the German VAT Act (UStG), no VAT is charged. One session covers up to 10 people; with more staff, we plan a further session together.
How to document AI literacy.
The law doesn't prescribe a format. A simple record, digital or on paper, showing who was trained on what and when, is a sensible approach.
Attendance list with date
Who took part, on which day, and in what role in the business.
Training content
Agenda or materials, so it's clear what was covered.
Certificates of attendance
Each person's certificate, filed together with the list.
Internal AI policy
Which tools are allowed and which data stays off-limits – with the date of the current version.
Keep everything together and add to it whenever new staff join or new AI tools come in.
Assess first, then train.

Common questions about AI training.
Short answers. General information, not legal advice.
Does the training duty apply to small businesses too?
Yes. Article 4 of the EU AI Act has no minimum size. What matters is whether AI systems are used in the business – ChatGPT, Copilot or AI features in industry software, for example. How extensive the measures need to be depends on the use: a team that only drafts emails with AI needs less than one that analyses customer data with it.
How often does training have to take place?
The law sets neither a fixed interval nor a number of hours. A refresher makes sense when new tools are introduced, tasks change or new staff join – documented each time.
Is online training enough?
Yes, no particular format is prescribed. What matters is that the content fits how AI is used in the business and that attendance is documented. That's why the training is available on-site in the Stuttgart region or online for businesses anywhere in Germany.
Is there a certificate or proof of attendance?
Every participant receives a certificate of attendance. It isn't a certificate from an accredited body – and Article 4 doesn't require one. What counts as proof is that you document your measures: who was trained on what, and when.
What happens if I don't train my staff?
The duty still applies, even after the simplification of 27 July 2026, and the Bundesnetzagentur has been responsible for oversight since 29 July 2026. Without measures and documentation, you may not be able to show that you did anything to build AI literacy in your team. On top of that come liability risks – for instance if confidential data ends up in the wrong tools or flawed AI output reaches customers.
How much does the AI training cost?
€890 fixed price per session: half a day for up to 10 people, including a certificate of attendance for each participant. That's the final price; no VAT is charged under § 19 UStG.
