Is AI literacy mandatory for your organisation?
Since 2 February 2025, AI literacy has been a legal requirement under Article 4 of the EU AI Act. The obligation applies to every organisation that uses or provides AI, even if you only use ChatGPT, Copilot or Gemini and did not build the AI yourself.
Since 27 July 2026, Article 4 has stated that organisations take measures to support the development of AI literacy. They do not have to guarantee a particular level for each employee, and the article does not require a certificate, a number of hours or a prescribed provider. What is sufficient depends on the role, the system and the context. The rewrite is neither an abolition nor a postponement.
The question that remains: can you show which measures you took, when, for whom and why they fit your use of AI? That is what this course is built for. Every participant finishes with a certificate in their name, a dated internal policy and recorded review points in the work process.
What do you learn in the AI Literacy course?
In the AI Literacy course you learn that AI is broader than a chatbot. A system that ranks job applicants, a model that estimates a risk and a tool that summarises meetings all count as AI too, and that is exactly where the strictest rules apply.
After the course you can:
- explain how a language model arrives at an answer, and why a wrong answer sounds just as convincing as a correct one
- recognise which AI is already built into your existing software without anyone having switched it on
- judge for which tasks AI is reliable and for which the output remains a draft that a person has to verify
- prompt with context, role, goal and format, and assess the output against five set questions before you use it
- tell the GDPR and the AI Act apart, place your own application in the right risk level and name the prohibited practices
- decide which data you never enter, when a second person needs to review the work and what you do if something goes wrong anyway
The course is vendor-neutral. You work with the tool your organisation already uses, whether that is ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemini, because the way of working and the risks are the same in all four. You do not need any technical background.
A look inside the online AI Literacy course
You take the online AI Literacy course in the learning environment shown below. On the left are the lessons of the module and your progress; on the right you read the lesson. After each module there is a short test with one question per screen, and after the final test you receive a certificate in your name with a verification code.

Modules in the LearnLLM AI Literacy course
The LearnLLM AI Literacy course consists of seven modules that build on each other, plus a completion section with the final test. The first three are about your own judgement; the last four are about the rules and agreements that apply to your colleagues.
| Module | Topic | What you learn |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | What AI is, and what it is not | Which AI is already built into your software without you noticing, how a language model arrives at an answer and why that leads to hallucinations. Includes a starting scan that records your starting level. |
| 2 | Where AI is strong, and where it is not | The difference between tasks where you supply the content and tasks where the model has to supply facts itself. You sort your own work into three categories. |
| 3 | Prompting effectively and assessing output | The four building blocks of a usable prompt and five set questions for assessing output, with a worked example from task to sending. |
| 4 | The legal framework: GDPR, the AI Act and transparency | When the GDPR applies, the four risk levels of the AI Act, what Article 4 asks of an organisation, whether you are a provider or a deployer, and when Article 50 requires transparency. |
| 5 | What goes wrong in practice | What happens to your input and why the account type matters, recognising bias with a concrete test, the four steps after a data breach, and shadow AI within an organisation. |
| 6 | Embedding AI in your organisation | Why employees work around agreements and what helps against that. You draft an internal AI policy and link the review point to a step that is already part of the work process. |
| 7 | Privacy, confidentiality and high risk in practice | Special categories of personal data, duties of confidentiality, the record of processing activities and the DPIA, data outside the EEA, and high-risk systems. You create a privacy and risk map for one application from your own work. |
Each module contains lessons, a practical assignment based on your own work, transfer questions, scenario questions and a knowledge check with instant feedback. To earn the certificate, you score at least 80 percent on each knowledge check, which you may retake as often as you like. You then finish with a final test of 30 questions, for which you need at least 70 percent.
Examples of practical assignments in the AI Literacy course
The practical assignments in the AI Literacy course take 30 to 60 minutes, and you carry them out on your own work, not on a made-up case:
- Module 1: map at least five AI systems or features in your work environment, two of which are not chatbots. Then deliberately let an AI tool make a mistake and note the moment at which you could have spotted it.
- Module 4: enter each system from that inventory in a risk and roles register, with the risk level, your role, whether Article 50 and the GDPR apply, and the next action.
- Module 5: record for each tool which account you use, whether your input is used for model training and whether there is a data processing agreement. Then find out who you report an incident to.
The final assignment in the AI Literacy course
The final assignment in the AI Literacy course is an internal AI policy of no more than one A4 page, with permitted tools, input rules, review points, responsibilities and a reporting route. You combine it with the results of the other modules into one dated AI work portfolio, with a training overview, a review date and the comparison with your starting scan.
You do not submit that portfolio anywhere for assessment, so internal documents stay internal. If you are not authorised to set policy, you deliver the same content as a proposal for the person who is.
What is on the AI Literacy certificate?
The LearnLLM AI Literacy certificate shows the course, the study load, your final test score, the date of issue, a certificate number and a verification code. With that code, an employer or professional body can check on the certificate verification page whether the certificate is genuine and still valid.
The certificate comes with a learning record that lists the learning objectives per module, the study load, your final test score with the pass mark, and your own reflection. You can add it as evidence to a personnel file or CPD file.
A certificate proves that one employee has completed the course, not that the organisation has arranged things properly. That is why the course also delivers the policy, the review points and the difference between your starting scan and the return to the starting scan. Together they form the portfolio with which you show which measures you have taken.
AI Literacy Essentials: the short two-hour course
In about two hours, AI Literacy Essentials gives everyone who works with AI the same foundation. It covers what AI is and why a language model can make up facts, and for which tasks AI is and is not reliable. It also covers how to assess output, what the GDPR and the AI Act require of you, and what to do when something goes wrong. Each module ends with a knowledge check, and you receive a certificate in your name with a verification code.
| AI Literacy Essentials | Full course | |
|---|---|---|
| Time | About 2 hours | 8 hours |
| Modules | 6, plus a short closing assignment | 7, plus completion and final assignment |
| Practical assignments based on your own work | No, just a personal AI checklist | One per module |
| Privacy, confidentiality and high risk | Briefly | In depth, in a module of its own |
| Assessment | Knowledge check per module | Knowledge checks and a final test of 30 questions |
| Certificate with verification code | Yes | Yes, with a learning record |
| Price per person | €59.99 incl. VAT | €149.99 incl. VAT |
| Team of 5 or more, per person per year | €49.99, €44.99 or €39.99 incl. VAT | €124.99, €109.99 or €99.99 incl. VAT |
For team prices, the amount per employee depends on the size of the team. From 4 to 30 November (Cyber Monday), a 33% Black Friday discount applies to all e-learnings and team products: deducted automatically in the shopping basket for individual courses, and included in the quote for team products.
AI literacy training for teams and companies
For AI literacy training for a whole team, you order AI Literacy for teams from five employees. Each employee works in their own account on their own work email address. On completion, they receive a certificate in their own name, so you can show per person who has taken the course.
For teams from five employees
Every employee gets their own account and a certificate in their own name, with a price per seat per year and payment on invoice. We set up your team for you: tell us how many employees and which course, and you receive a quote within two working days.
You tell us how many employees, receive a quote within two working days and pay by invoice, and we set up an account for every colleague. From 4 to 30 November (Cyber Monday), a 33% Black Friday discount applies to every place, included in the quote: five places then cost €418.72 instead of €624.95 incl. VAT.
Two to four colleagues? Then have everyone buy the course separately in their own name and with their own work email address, for €149.99 per person incl. VAT. That way each colleague gets their own account and their own certificate.
If the whole team takes the course, you do not end up with five separate certificates but with five versions of the same policy, each filled in from a different role. The discussion then turns to concrete differences between departments instead of starting points. If you want your own house style, a SCORM export or scenarios from your own practice, that falls under AI training for teams.
Online AI literacy training instead of classroom training
Online AI literacy training suits people who want to work at their own pace and do the assignments on their own work. LearnLLM does not provide classroom or in-company training: if you are looking for a trainer in the room on a fixed day, this course is not for you.
| What you compare | Online e-learning, like this course | Classroom or in-company training |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduling | Your own pace, spread over a few weeks | Fixed date, usually half a day to a full day |
| What you practise on | Your own work, documents and tools | The trainer's cases, sometimes a case of your own |
| Assessment | Knowledge check per module (80%) and final test of 30 questions (70%) | Varies by provider; ask about the test and pass mark |
| New colleagues | Start straight after enrolment | Wait for the next session |
| Evidence afterwards | Certificate in your name with a verification code, plus a learning record | Proof of attendance or certificate, depending on the provider |
For showing what you have done, the format matters less than two other questions: is there a test with a pass mark, and what do you have on paper afterwards?
Who is the AI Literacy e-learning for?
The AI Literacy e-learning is for everyone who deals with AI at work: employees who type into it every day, managers who set agreements about it and senior management who are responsible for it.
| Who | What the course gives you |
|---|---|
| Employees who use AI tools | Knowing what may and may not go in, and being able to assess output before it leaves the building |
| Managers | Agreements that do not get in the way of the work and are therefore actually followed |
| Senior management and owners | A dated policy and a training overview with which you show which measures you have taken |
| HR and compliance staff | Insight into what Article 4 does and does not ask, and where the required level differs per role |
| Professionals handling confidential data | A concrete input rule for client files, personnel data and business information |
The course is less suitable for people who already have a set way of working with one tool and mainly want to go deeper. For them there are the AI courses per tool, for ChatGPT, Claude and AI automation.
Who developed the AI Literacy course?
The AI Literacy course was created by Dennis van de Velde, founder of LearnLLM. He worked at Rabobank, ABN Amro and Van Lanschot, including in the fraud department, where everything went through the four-eyes principle.
That review standard is the starting point of this course: not the question of whether AI is allowed, but at which moment someone else checks the work before anything goes out. In his work as an SEO specialist at Space'M Online, he uses AI in almost every step of the process, through the interface and through the API on his own infrastructure.
The lessons on the law name the regulation and the article on which a statement is based, so you can read the official text yourself. When the rules change, the course is updated, as it was after the Digital Omnibus rewrote Article 4 in July 2026.

Frequently asked questions about the AI Literacy course
How much does the AI Literacy course cost?
The AI Literacy course costs €149.99 per person incl. VAT. For teams of five or more employees there is AI Literacy for teams: €124.99, €109.99 or €99.99 per employee per year incl. VAT, depending on the size of the team. AI Literacy Essentials, the two-hour course, costs €59.99 incl. VAT, or €49.99, €44.99 or €39.99 per employee per year for teams. Business customers reclaim the VAT through their VAT return.
Is the AI Literacy course online or in a classroom?
The AI Literacy course is fully online. You take it at your own pace in the learning environment, with text lessons, practical assignments based on your own work and knowledge checks. LearnLLM does not provide classroom or in-company training.
How do I enrol several colleagues at once?
To enrol several colleagues at once, from five employees you use AI Literacy for teams: you tell us how many employees via the contact page, receive a quote within two working days and pay by invoice. We set up an account for every employee, so the certificates and completion dates can be traced per person. With two to four colleagues, each person buys the course separately in their own name. For 50 or more employees, you request a price for your organisation through the contact page.
Can I get an invoice in my company name?
You receive an invoice in your company name straight after purchase, with a VAT breakdown, so your accounts department can process it right away. You pay for individual places with iDEAL, credit card or PayPal. Teams of 5 to 49 employees request a quote and pay by invoice in the name of the organisation.
Does this course make me compliant with Article 4 of the AI Act?
No provider can guarantee that this course makes you compliant with Article 4 of the AI Act, because Article 4 links the measures to role, system and context. What this course does provide is a record: a dated policy, a certificate in your name, recorded review points and the difference between the starting scan and the return to the starting scan. If your organisation works with high-risk systems, for example in staff selection, an e-learning is not enough; there, documentation, oversight and quality requirements apply that go further than training.
Is an AI literacy certificate mandatory?
An AI literacy certificate is not mandatory. Article 4 does not mention a certificate, an exam or a prescribed provider. In May 2025, the European Commission wrote in its questions and answers on AI literacy that external certification is not needed, but that an organisation does record its measures. A certificate in each employee's name is a practical way to record them.
Does the AI Literacy course count towards CPD points (PE-punten)?
That depends on your profession. Since 2021, Dutch accountants no longer work with CPD points but with a CPD portfolio (PE-portfolio): you decide yourself which activities fit your learning objectives, and e-learning counts towards it. The Royal Netherlands Institute of Chartered Accountants (NBA) has named AI as one of its three development themes for 2026 to 2028. For architects, the Dutch version of the course is listed on architectenregister.nl as a continuing education activity. For other professions, such as lawyers and civil-law notaries, the course is not accredited, and your professional body decides whether you can claim the hours yourself.
Do I need prior knowledge for the AI Literacy course?
You do not need prior knowledge for the AI Literacy course. The course starts with the question of what AI is and does not require a technical or programming background.
Do I need a paid AI subscription for the AI Literacy course?
You do not need a paid AI subscription for the AI Literacy course. You work with the AI tool your organisation uses or permits, and a free account is enough for the assignments. Do pay attention to which account you use: a free personal account has different terms from a business account. In module 5 you check this for each tool; until then, do not put confidential data into a tool your organisation has no agreements about.
How long does the AI Literacy course take?
The AI Literacy course takes eight hours, including practical assignments based on your own work, spread over seven modules plus the final assignment and the final test. Spreading it over a few weeks works better than finishing it in one day. After purchase you have 12 months of access.
Is the course video or text?
The AI Literacy course consists of text lessons with practical tips, assignments, transfer questions, scenario questions and knowledge checks. You can reread any lesson later for reference, which is harder with video. In a course where you set down rules and review points, you want to be able to go back to the exact wording.
Can I return the AI Literacy course if I am not satisfied?
As a private customer you get your money back within 14 days of purchase, as long as you have completed no more than 20 percent of the course. This is LearnLLM's own satisfaction guarantee. The statutory right of withdrawal lapses as soon as you get access, because you agree to immediate delivery at checkout. If you pay in a company name or with a VAT number, you are buying as a business and the guarantee does not apply. Send your request to info@learnllm.nl.
Will my employer pay for the AI Literacy course?
Some employers pay for the AI Literacy course from the training budget. For this subject that is all the more likely, because the obligation under Article 4 lies with the organisation, not with the individual employee. The invoice is available straight after purchase so you can claim the cost.
How does this course differ from a free basic AI course?
A free basic AI course usually explains what AI is and how it works. This course also covers the law and your role: what Article 4 and Article 50 of the AI Act require, and whether your organisation is a provider or a deployer for each system. You do the assignments with your own work and finish with an internal policy and a certificate in your name.
