Who should enroll and what to expect.

Ideal for
  • Compliance officers and risk managers responsible for adapting processes to AI
  • Department heads leading AI implementation across their teams
  • Anyone responsible for transforming traditional SOPs into AI-ready frameworks
  • Internal change leaders who need to evaluate workflows, risks, and vendor competence
Not the right fit if
  • People without department-level visibility into AI tool usage
  • Those wanting to build or engineer AI tools
  • Organisations with fewer than 10 employees

Week-by-Week Curriculum

Detailed breakdown of what you learn each week, with lesson formats and assignments.

Week 1
Department AI Landscape

Map every AI tool, every process it touches, and every SOP that needs to change. Understand the shift from output control to input governance.

Week 2
People & Competence Mapping

Map Article 4 competence requirements by role. Identify gaps between current and required literacy levels and prioritise by risk.

Week 3
Risk Classification & SOP Audit

Classify tools by EU AI Act risk level. Audit which SOPs were built for a world without AI and flag them for transformation.

Week 4
Vendor Evaluation in Context

Evaluate vendors in connection with your team's competence scores — not in isolation. Link vendor capabilities to process transformation.

Week 5
SOP Transformation Framework

Apply the five pillars of SOP transformation: input governance, guardrails, monitoring, regulatory mapping, and competence requirements.

Week 6
Evidence & Documentation Design

Build evidence collection into your transformed processes from day one. Design audit trails that demonstrate ongoing governance.

Week 7
Pillar Scoring & Benchmarking

Score your department across the TwinLadder Standard's 7 pillars. Compare against benchmarks and the compliance floor.

Week 8
Remediation & Transformation Roadmap

Connect diagnosis to concrete SOP transformation actions. Build a 90-day roadmap with milestones, owners, and quick wins.

Week 9
Training Programme Design

Design role-specific AI training that closes the competence gaps you found. Build delivery schedules with evidence requirements.

Week 10
Governance Architecture

Design oversight structures, review cadences, escalation protocols, and accountability assignments for sustainable AI governance.

Week 11
Report Assembly & Quick Wins

Assemble your Department Assessment Report with SOP transformation recommendations and implement 2 quick wins before the final week.

Week 12
Capstone: Implementation Leadership

Present your Department Assessment Report, defend your transformation recommendations, and graduate as your organisation's AI implementation leader.

Assessment Method

Capstone deliverable: Department Assessment Report covering SOP audit findings, transformation recommendations, vendor evaluations in context, governance framework, and 90-day implementation roadmap. Presented to the cohort for peer review.

Questions You're Probably Asking

Answers to the most common concerns about AI literacy training and Article 4 compliance.

Is this only for technical teams?
No. The Mastery path is designed for compliance officers, department heads, and anyone responsible for adapting processes to AI — no engineering background required.
What business areas does this cover?
We work with participants across legal, HR, marketing, and operations. The curriculum teaches how to evaluate processes, transform SOPs, and build governance frameworks that you apply to your own department.
Does this include vendor evaluation?
Yes — but we evaluate vendors in connection with your team's competence scores, not in isolation. You will learn to assess whether your team can actually use a vendor tool effectively, not just whether the tool has good features.
What is the capstone deliverable?
A Department Assessment Report with SOP transformation recommendations, governance framework, vendor evaluations in context, and a 90-day implementation roadmap. You present it to the cohort and graduate as your organisation's AI implementation leader.
Is this training specific to Europe?
Yes. Our training is built around the EU AI Act and European regulatory frameworks, with a Europe-wide perspective. We track global developments that affect European practice.
Will this become outdated quickly?
We teach durable principles: verification, source evaluation, and workflow documentation.
Can I bring my team?
Yes. The Leadership course is designed for practice groups and legal ops teams.
Do I need technical skills?
No. The Mastery course includes assessment templates and guidance, but assumes functional—not engineering—backgrounds.
