Óbuda University will launch on October 29, 2026 AI Act Consultant & Authorized Representative training. As a member of the Hungarian Cybersecurity Cluster, the University offers a six-month hybrid program that prepares participants to interpret and apply EU AI regulations in practice. The training covers regulatory, technical, compliance and certification aspects in a unified system.
The application of the AI Act already affects the daily operations of organizations
The EU regulation on artificial intelligence, the AI Act provisions will gradually become applicable. The European Commission and the competent authorities of the Member States have started to implement several rules from 2 August 2026, and certain transparency requirements will also apply from that date. Additional requirements for high-risk AI systems will apply at a later date.
Preparation is therefore becoming a specific professional task for more and more organizations. Mapping the deployed or developed AI systems, identifying organizational roles, risk classification, technical documentation, human oversight, data management, as well as reliability and cybersecurity requirements are interconnected areas. Appropriate decisions require the coordination of legal, IT, cybersecurity and governance knowledge.
Two expert roles in one training
The AI Act Consultant & Authorised Representative training prepares you for two different, complementary expert roles.
The AI Act Consultant can act as an advisor to support organizations in identifying AI systems, interpreting roles and obligations under the regulation, defining risk categories, and planning and coordinating the compliance process.
The Authorised Representative can perform EU liaison and documentation tasks on behalf of a service provider established outside the European Union, within the framework specified in the regulation. The training will explain the differences, responsibilities and practical connections between the two roles.
Hybrid program based on practical tasks
The six-month, 210-hour training consists of three interconnected elements: 9 practical training days, 9 e-learning modules, and a final exam. The digital curriculum provides online tests and six-month access, while the workshop days include lectures, joint problem solving, and individual homework.
Participants practice risk classification of AI solutions, definition of required documentation and organizational responsibilities, and professional justification of consulting recommendations through realistic compliance situations. The final exam consists of a complex practical task and its oral defense. Performance assessment is based on the results of the final exam, e-learning tests, and individual assignments.
Successful completion of the training is confirmed by a personal higher education micro-certificate issued by Óbuda University. The document also records the acquired learning outcomes and competencies.
Who do we recommend the training to?
The program can primarily offer directly applicable knowledge to professionals involved in the development, implementation, operation, verification or regulatory compliance of AI systems. These may include, among others:
- cybersecurity, IT and AI professionals;
- legal, compliance and data protection professionals;
- audit, quality management and risk management experts;
- product development, research and development and innovation managers;
- consultants, and organizational decision-makers responsible for the application of AI.
Training can also be relevant for cluster members, as it creates a common professional language among technology, security and compliance actors. This supports the responsible introduction of AI solutions, the integration of requirements into organizational processes and the collaboration of the relevant disciplines.
Academic and market experience in one program
The training is implemented in professional cooperation between Óbuda University, NoBoVersum Zrt. and TAM CERT Hungary Kft. Practicing experts participate in the training, so in addition to theoretical and regulatory knowledge, experience in market application, conformity assessment and organizational implementation is also presented.
The hybrid format supports participation outside of work, while in-person workshops create opportunities for collaborative processing of complex cases and professional dialogue. Group discounts are available for multiple employees from one organization.
