Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 · in force since 2 February 2025

Training people on AI is no longer optional.

The EU AI Act has turned AI literacy into an obligation for every organisation using AI. Articolo 4 turns that obligation into concrete, documentable, ready-to-deliver courses: for accredited training providers who want a serious AI catalogue, and for companies that want to comply without wasting time.

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 — AI Act, Article 4

The obligation, plainly explained

What the AI Act actually asks of companies

No regulatory scaremongering: Article 4 does not prescribe one specific certified course. It requires something more demanding: that people using AI systems at work actually know what they are doing, and that the organisation can prove it. Here is what that means in practice.

Requirement 01

Proportionate training

AI literacy must be calibrated to role, context and the systems in use. A marketing team using generative AI daily has different needs from a board that must govern it. Our courses are segmented exactly along those lines.

Requirement 02

Documentability

In case of inspection or dispute, the company must be able to show what it did: hours, contents, attendance, final assessments, named certificates. Every Articolo 4 package is traceable and audit-ready by design.

Requirement 03

Continuous updating

The AI Act comes into application in stages and tools change every quarter. One-off, forgotten training does not hold up: every course includes a content revision plan every 6–12 months.

The catalogue

Four courses. Zero fluff.

A short, vertical catalogue built to be sold: each course has a clear target, defined duration, segmented modules and a final test. Delivered three ways: e-learning on the provider's platform (or on ours, free for partners), live virtual classroom, or in person at the provider's premises.

For accredited training providers

You have the catalogue and the clients.
We have the content and the teaching.

We don't sell "a course": we sell a near-ready training product that enters your catalogue in days, not months. Three models, from the lightest to the most integrated.

Model 1 · Quick start

Specialist teaching

The course stays in your catalogue; we come in as providers of teaching, vertical materials and updates.

  • Trainers with real applied-AI experience
  • Always up-to-date materials
  • No extra commercial structure needed
Most requested Model 2 · Dual brand

Co-branded

The course carries both brands: yours plus Articolo 4 by Digital Runner. Technical specialisation becomes a selling point.

  • Declared technical authority
  • Shared marketing material
  • Direct teaching or train-the-trainer
Model 3 · Full ownership

White label

You sell the course under your own brand, using our complete materials. The end client remains entirely yours.

  • Annual licence for the materials
  • Syllabus, slides, workbook, tests included
  • Guaranteed regulatory updates
What's inside

A sellable course is a course already packaged

We know what catalogue managers look for: something easy to slot in, well documented and simple to sell to an audience that already exists. That's why every Articolo 4 title arrives as a complete package, not a list of topics.

Everything is designed to plug into the provider's certification processes: registers, assessments, named certificates with date, duration and contents. Ready for an internal audit or an end client's document check.

Who we work with

Main channel

Direct path

Companies and SMEs

FAQ

What we get asked all the time

Is AI training really mandatory for companies?

Article 4 of the AI Act, applicable since 2 February 2025, requires providers and deployers of AI systems to ensure a sufficient level of AI literacy among their staff. The regulation does not prescribe one specific certified course: it requires adequate, proportionate, documentable training. In practice, a structured programme with traceability and certification is the most solid way to demonstrate compliance.

Who issues the certificates?

It depends on the model. Under white label and co-branded models the certificate is issued by the accredited partner provider, with our content integrated into its processes: attendance certificates or competence certificates with a passed final test. On request, we can integrate verifiable digital credentials through dedicated partners.

How does the white label model work?

The provider sells the course under its own brand using our complete materials: syllabus, slides, workbook, question bank, certificate templates and update plan. The commercial relationship with the end client remains entirely with the provider; we guarantee content quality and freshness.

Can courses be tailored to a sector?

Yes. Sector customisation (manufacturing, services, retail, healthcare and so on) is one of the extra items in the pricing model: dedicated case studies, examples based on the tools the audience actually uses, and an adapted final test.

Can a company buy the courses directly, without a provider?

Yes. Our main channel is training providers, but we run dedicated company editions with direct teaching, on site or remote. If you need certification with specific requirements, we connect you with the most suitable partner provider.

In which formats can the courses be delivered?

Three formats, chosen by the provider: asynchronous e-learning, with courses delivered as traceable (SCORM) packages for the provider's platform or our free partner platform; live virtual classroom via Zoom, Meet or our own tool, with electronic attendance registers; or in person, at the training provider's premises. Tracking, final assessment and certification are guaranteed in all cases.

How often is content updated?

Every 6–12 months, or sooner if relevant AI Act deadlines change. Updates are included in the licence models: a year-old AI course is an old course, and participants notice.
