What does AI literacy training cost?

Updated: 2026-09

In short

AI literacy training costs different amounts depending on the number of roles, the degree of tailoring and the evidence required. The main cost driver is not delivery but adapting the content to the organisation’s actual use cases.

A standard course on artificial intelligence is cheap to obtain. It generally does not meet the obligation under Article 4 of the EU AI Act, because that requires a sufficient level of AI literacy for staff’s concrete tasks — not general understanding.

The cost difference therefore lies in the tailoring. Training that relates to the systems actually deployed and the real oversight duties requires preparatory work. That preparation is exactly what separates a met obligation from a documented attendance.

What drives the cost

Number of roles

Users, oversight staff and decision-makers need different content. Each additional role is its own tailoring.

Degree of adaptation

Training built on your own AI use cases requires preparation — and is the part that actually meets the obligation.

Number of participants and sites

Several groups or locations raise the delivery effort.

Evidence requirement

Documented attendance with evidence of competence is more effort than delivery alone — and usually the reason for the training.

Repeatability

Training that can be repeated and updated internally costs more to build and less over time.

How we price

  1. 01

    Fixed price

    Where the scope can be clearly bounded, we work to a binding fixed price. You know exactly what it costs before the project starts — no open-ended hourly billing, no surprises.

  2. 02

    Engagement / retainer

    For ongoing support — advisory, governance or continuous optimisation — we agree an engagement with a defined scope per month. Predictable cost, flexibly adjustable.

  3. 03

    Time and materials against an estimate

    Where the scope is not yet fully settled at the start, we work transparently against effort — with an estimate discussed in advance and regular cost control, so nothing runs away.

We deliberately publish no online prices: every case differs. After a short first conversation you receive a binding fixed price or clear frame.

FAQ

Why is there no specific price on the website?

Because a serious price depends on the actual scope, and a number online would almost always be wrong — too high deters, too low leads to unpleasant surprises. After a short first conversation we give you a binding fixed price or a clear range.

How do I get to a binding fixed price?

Through a short, free first conversation in which we clarify scope, goals and constraints. On that basis you receive a specific, binding price — with no hidden costs.

Is a general AI course enough for Article 4?

Generally not. What is required is competence relating to the systems deployed and the concrete tasks — a general introduction rarely covers that.

How often must the training be repeated?

The AI Act names no fixed interval. Since systems and uses change, regular refreshing is sensible — which makes a repeatable format more economical than a one-off.
