AI Act Compliance Training at Barcelona Code School

Article 4 of the EU AI Act is already law. From 2 August 2026 it is enforced. Get your team trained, documented, and inspection-ready — at effectively zero cost through FUNDAE.

On campus in Barcelona or remote live

Since 2 February 2025, every company whose staff uses AI — even everyday tools like ChatGPT or Copilot — is legally required to provide documented, role-proportional AI training. There is no minimum company size and no opt-out. In one 12-hour course we train your people and hand you the exact evidence pack an AESIA inspection asks for.

Why now — the deadlines are fixed

  • In force since 2 Feb 2025 — Article 4 (AI literacy) is directly applicable EU law, no size threshold, no opt-out
  • 2 August 2026 — AESIA gains full powers to inspect, demand evidence, and sanction
  • 2 December 2026 — Article 50 synthetic-content labeling obligation in force
  • 31 December 2026 — your annual FUNDAE training credit expires; unused, it is gone
  • Spain's national AI-governance law carries headline fines up to €35M or 7% of turnover; AI Act and RGPD fines stack
  • This is not optional and it is not going away — the only variable is whether you are ready

Live technical training since 2017 — classrooms in the centre of Barcelona, real instructors, real evidence.

FUNDAE — effectively free

Every company accrues an annual training credit (minimum €420) as a discount on its Social Security payments. You pay the invoice, then recover it in the following months' cotizaciones.

We register as entidad organizadora and file the paperwork on your behalf — including groups of several small companies.

The credit expires 31 December. November is the last practical delivery month for 2026. Don't leave money — and your compliance — on the table.

Why this is inevitable, not optional

  • The obligation is already in force — waiting does not make it go away, it only removes your runway.
  • From 2 August 2026 AESIA can knock, ask for your evidence, and sanction if you have none.
  • The awareness wave is already building in the press ("train your staff before 2 August"); clients and partners will start asking.
  • The cost is recoverable through FUNDAE, so the real question is not "if" but "before or after the deadline".

Why Barcelona Code School?

  • Live and technical, not generic online videos that make weak audit evidence.
  • Local, in the centre of Barcelona — real classrooms, in person or remote live.
  • Instructors who actually build with AI and teach it every day.
  • We are accurate: no fake "official certification", just the evidence the law asks for.
  • A clear path onward: training → AI usage policy & inventory → implementation and advisory.

Who it's for

Any Spanish company whose staff touches AI tools: gestorías and asesorías, marketing agencies, clinics, inmobiliarias, logistics, e-commerce, professional services.

If someone on your team has opened ChatGPT or Copilot for work, Article 4 applies to you.

FAQ

Is AI training actually mandatory for my company?

Yes. Article 4 of the EU AI Act has been directly applicable across the EU since 2 February 2025. It applies to every company whose staff uses AI systems — including everyday tools like ChatGPT or Copilot — with no company-size threshold. The obligation is to ensure documented, role-appropriate AI literacy for your people.

What happens on 2 August 2026?

On 2 August 2026, AESIA — Spain's AI supervision agency — acquires full powers to inspect companies, demand evidence of AI literacy, and impose sanctions. The obligation already exists; from that date it is actively enforced. Companies that can show a training plan, attendance records, and an AI-systems inventory are the ones prepared for an inspection.

Is there an official AI Act certification?

No. Per the European Commission's November 2025 FAQ, no official certification exists or is required. The law works on proportionality: what counts is documented, role-proportional training plus evidence — an inventory of AI systems, a training plan, attendance records, and periodic review. Be cautious of providers who sell an 'official certificate'; it does not exist. We give you the four-document evidence pack that actually matters.

How is this training free through FUNDAE?

Every company in Spain accrues an annual training credit (bonificación) — a discount on its Social Security payments. You pay our invoice, then recover the cost in the following months' cotizaciones. For most SMEs this makes the training effectively free. We handle the FUNDAE paperwork as entidad organizadora on your behalf.

Why the urgency about 31 December?

Your FUNDAE training credit is annual and expires on 31 December. Payment and bonification must both close within the calendar year, which makes November the last practical delivery month for your 2026 credit. New credit only lands on 1 January. If you wait, you forfeit money you have already accrued — and you enter the enforcement period untrained.

What about the content-labeling obligation on 2 December 2026?

Article 50 of the AI Act requires clear labeling of AI-generated or AI-manipulated (synthetic) content, and that deadline has been moved up to 2 December 2026. If your company produces marketing, media, or e-commerce content with AI, our marketing module covers exactly what you must label and how to document it.

How long is the training and what is the format?

The open compliance cohort is 12 hours: two live 4-hour sessions on campus in Barcelona (or remote live) plus 4 hours of guided online work. We also run a 4-hour Micro Express for micro companies and a fully customized 12-hour In-Company pack delivered at your offices.

Who should attend?

Anyone on your team who uses AI tools in their work — management, operations, marketing, HR, finance, customer service. The training is role-proportional: leadership gets the governance and risk view, staff get the safe-use and documentation practices for their day-to-day tools.

What do we walk away with?

Every participant is trained, and every client company receives the four-document Article 4 evidence pack: a certificate and attendance record, an AI usage policy template, and an AI-systems inventory — the documentation an inspection actually asks for.

What language is the training in?

We deliver in Spanish, Catalan, or English depending on your team. Materials and the evidence pack are provided in Spanish and English.

Do you provide legal opinions?

No — and you should be wary of trainers who do. We deliver hands-on, technical AI-literacy training and the compliance documentation. For formal legal opinions we partner with a specialist despacho and can refer you.

Can you train several small companies together?

Yes. Open cohorts mix participants from many companies (up to 30 per group), and we file the FUNDAE bonificación for each company individually, including multi-company groups via encomienda contracts.
