AI training for teams: AI literacy that works in everyday business.
We train your team to use artificial intelligence on its own tasks and tools: as an on-site AI workshop in Berlin and Brandenburg or online. Every participation is documented, so you can evidence your AI literacy measures under Article 4 of the EU AI Act. Your trainers are Dennis Weidner and Lukas Hüttis.
Basics
What AI training does for your team
AI training teaches your staff what AI systems can do, where their limits are and how to use them safely and effectively in daily work. Good training uses the tasks your team actually handles: your emails, proposals, reports and research, not generic examples.
The need is real. According to a representative survey by the German digital association Bitkom among employed people, published in July 2025, only one in five had been trained in using AI by their employer, and 70 percent were offered no AI training at all.

EU AI Act
AI literacy training: what Article 4 of the AI Act requires
Companies that use AI systems must take measures to support the AI literacy of their staff. This is set out in Article 4 of the EU AI Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, and it has applied since 2 February 2025. The Digital Omnibus Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 of 8 July 2026 rewrote the article.
Under the new wording, providers and deployers of AI systems take measures to support the development of AI literacy of their staff and other persons dealing with AI systems on their behalf, taking into account technical knowledge, experience, education and training and the context of use. They are not required to guarantee a specific level of AI literacy for any individual. The duty to act remains; the benchmark is genuine effort.
A deployer is also any company using a third-party AI system in its business, such as a chat assistant, a translation tool or the AI in its office software (Article 3(4) AI Act). The regulation prescribes no format, exam or certificate. This page is not legal advice.

FAQ
Questions about AI training
Is AI training for employees mandatory?
Under Article 4 of the EU AI Act, companies that use AI systems must take measures to support the AI literacy of their staff. The obligation has applied since 2 February 2025, and the Digital Omnibus Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 amended it in July 2026. The regulation does not prescribe a format or a certificate, but training is the most obvious and best documented way to meet it.
Who needs AI literacy under Article 4?
Your own staff and other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on your behalf, such as freelancers, temporary workers or service providers. The measures should reflect their knowledge, their tasks and the context in which the AI is used.
How much does AI training cost?
We quote a fixed price per format after the intro call. It depends on duration, number of participants, how far we tailor the content to your workflows, and whether we train on site or online. The 20-minute intro call is free of charge.
Do participants receive a certificate?
Every participant receives a certificate of attendance stating content, duration and date, and you receive an attendance list for your records. The AI Act does not require a certificate.
Do you train on site or online?
Both. We train on site in Berlin and Brandenburg and online across Germany, in German or English.
