Artificial Intelligence Compliance Professional for Europe (AICP-E)

Everything you need to know about EU AI Act compliance in 4 weeks.

Practical training on EU AI Act fundamentals and key aspects of artificial intelligence. Learn to develop ethical AI systems that protect personal data and ensure compliance.

AI Compliance DPO EUROPE (AICP-E)

The course is based on the requirements of the EU AI Act

We developed this course to quickly provide professionals with quality knowledge on the application of the law and to prepare them in advance for its implementation.

We are now on the threshold of applying requirements to high-risk systems. The deadline for their entry into force is August 2, 2026. Providers of high-risk AI systems will be required to implement a quality and risk management system, as well as prepare detailed technical documentation for their products. Before entering the market, they must undergo a conformity assessment procedure, register the system in a special EU database, and obtain marking. During operation, they must ensure transparency of AI functioning, maintain automatic event logs, and guarantee the possibility of human oversight.

You can understand these requirements and learn how to comply with them in our course.

EU AI Act Implementation Timeline (2024-2030)

The EU AI Act officially became law in July 2024, with its requirements being introduced in phases to allow for a smooth transition. In February 2025, the first regulations took effect, focusing on banning AI systems that pose unacceptable risks. By August 2026, the majority of the law’s rules will apply to most AI technologies and providers. Finally, certain specialized systems and large-scale projects have until 2027 or even 2030 to meet all legal standards.

Hands-on learning

Participants are engaged in practical exercises and tests that reflect real-world scenarios. Moreover, they work on a practical case with the trainers that reflect the current challenges in AI regulation.

The course content was well-structured, offering practical insights into how businesses can navigate compliance challenges while integrating AI technologies. Additionally, the interactive discussions and case studies helped deepen my understanding of real-world applications and the evolving legal landscape in AI.

Connecting with like-minded people and networking

Collaboration with people who share your interests motivates and helps achieve better results.

After the course, you’ll have a chat with participants and trainers. You can ask questions there at any time. Some people come back to clarify the interpretation of specific regulations, find an employee, or ask for career advice.

I think I was generally very happy with the structure of the training and the approach to the EU AI Act, including the cross-references to national-level contexts. Some of the students also brought valuable insights from their own national jurisdictions.

How the training course works

Onboarding

A week before the course starts, you’ll join a chat with other participants and trainers. Participants often return to this chat to ask questions that arise in their practice and hear expert opinions. On day one, we spend 30 minutes on organizational questions and platform introduction before diving into the first module.

Pre-Reading Materials

Before each session, you’ll receive curated materials to review. These aren’t lengthy documents — they’re streamlined summaries that prepare you for the upcoming class. This approach allows sessions to build on foundational knowledge rather than starting from scratch, making class time more productive and interactive.

Theory Sessions

Each 2-hour class begins with a 10-minute Q&A on pre-reading materials, followed by 50–60 minutes of theory. Trainers present core concepts, legal frameworks, and compliance strategies. The theory builds directly on what you’ve read, ensuring deeper understanding and leaving more time for practical application during the session.

Hands-On Practice

Every module includes 25–35 minutes of active practice during the session. You’ll work on case analyses, group discussions, mini-tasks, or workshops. You’ll apply what you’ve learned to scenarios that reflect actual AI compliance challenges you might face in your work.

Homework

Practical assignments are given only after Wednesday sessions, giving you the Wednesday-to-Monday gap to complete them. This spacing ensures you have enough time to work through tasks without overwhelming your schedule, especially if you’re balancing the course with full-time work or other commitments.

Final Assessment

The course concludes with a comprehensive test covering all modules. The assessment is designed to verify your understanding of AI Act requirements and compliance strategies. Upon successful completion, you’ll receive an official electronic certificate via Accredible that you can share on LinkedIn and your CV.

Get a structured reference guide for practical readiness

All AICP-E training participants receive a free AI Handbook. It’s not a theoretical textbook—it’s a practical tool for decision-making in real-world AI Act applications. The Handbook answers “What do I do when…?” rather than “What does Article X say?”

Course Details

All of this is included in a single price — €1050. We don’t sell packages where you have to pay extra for the certificate or expert support.
