Two reasons companies book AI training in 2026: Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires demonstrable AI literacy for staff, and untrained teams leave the productivity of AI tools on the table. One programme fixes both — practical, on your own processes, with the paperwork that proves compliance.

Crux Digits' AI-literacy programme costs €12,500 fixed (ex VAT) and combines a management workshop, two half-day team trainings on your own processes and tools, an AI usage policy template, and completion certificates for the personnel file — satisfying the Article 4 AI-literacy duty of the EU AI Act. Training costs like these are often substantially covered by the Dutch SLIM subsidy (typically up to 60% for eligible SMEs, subject to application windows and conditions — we check your eligibility for free).
Article 4 of the AI Act already applies: every company whose staff use AI must be able to show its people are AI-literate. That's the trigger. The payoff is bigger: teams that know what AI tools can and can't do stop wasting time on the wrong tasks and start automating the right ones. The training is built on your quotes, invoices, emails and planning — not generic demos. See also our AI Act checklist for SMEs.
| Part | What happens | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Management workshop (1 day) | Where AI pays off in your business, risks, policy decisions | Prioritised AI agenda + policy choices |
| Team training (2 half-days) | Hands-on with AI on your own processes and tools | Working prompts, workflows and habits per role |
| AI usage policy | Tailored template: what may go into which tool | Signed-off policy document |
| Documentation | Attendance, materials and certificates | Article 4 evidence for the personnel file |
The Dutch SLIM scheme subsidises learning and development in SMEs — including AI-literacy programmes — typically up to 60% of eligible costs, capped per company, with fixed application windows and no guaranteed approval. We're not subsidy advisors, but we run a free subsidy check before you commit and structure the programme so your application is straightforward. Details in our AI subsidy guide.
Training is rung two of our ladder. Teams that finish it typically identify 3–5 automation candidates in their own work; the best one becomes a fixed-price proof of concept. That's how literacy turns into measurable hours saved.

Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires every organisation that uses AI to ensure a sufficient level of AI literacy among staff — already in force. No specific course is prescribed; documented, role-appropriate training is the practical way to demonstrate compliance.
Crux Digits' complete AI-literacy programme is €12,500 fixed (ex VAT): a management workshop, two half-day team trainings on your own processes, an AI usage policy template and certificates. With SLIM subsidy the net cost is often substantially lower — we check eligibility for free.
Frequently, yes. SLIM subsidises learning and development in SMEs, typically up to 60% of eligible costs, with application windows and conditions. Approval is never guaranteed — we run a free subsidy check before you commit.
Tailored. The exercises use your own quotes, emails, invoices and planning. Generic AI demos don't change behaviour; practising on your real work does.
The fixed price covers groups up to about 15 people across the sessions. Larger teams are quoted per additional group, and we split sessions by role so the content stays relevant.
You receive attendance records, the training materials and completion certificates for the personnel file — the practical evidence set for demonstrating Article 4 compliance at SME scale.
