From the training

What participants say

Translated from German.

  • Dr. Michael Mischke

    Senior Manager @MHP

    Lots of tips on chaining different tools together to handle many tasks, excellent. The overview of the different prompting techniques was very helpful too. In a very short time we got a great overview and a deep insight, and on top of that tried most of it out in practice straight away. Thank you!
  • Ana Golkaramnay

    Associated Partner @MHP

    You have often heard about AI and its applications, and used it too. But this was the first time you really saw all the tools at once, from prompting techniques to the question of which LLM suits which task, all the way to impressive tools. Some deeper explanations that still stayed high-level were especially valuable.
  • Sam Amirsolimani

    Manager @MHP

    Deep discussions about thinking patterns and implementation, just the right depth. Using a range of tools to explain things in practice broadened my horizon once more. I look forward to sessions where we go even deeper.
  • Dr. Michael Mischke

    Senior Manager @MHP

    I was impressed by the depth and breadth of the training. We got to know tools, worked on tasks with them and discussed the consequences of that work. I'm taking a lot away, on very different levels!

Why now

AI literacy is becoming mandatory

Since February 2025 the EU AI Act has required companies to take measures for their staff's AI literacy. At the same time, studies show what good AI skills bring to everyday work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here you will find answers to the most common questions about our AI trainings.

It depends on how many participants use AI regularly afterwards and how much time it saves them. Studies measure 3 to 8 % of working time on average for regular users. An example: if someone earning €60,000 a year saves 5 % of their time, that is worth about €3,600 a year including employer costs. The ROI calculator on this page works out your scenario, with course fee, training time and a range instead of a single number.

Our trainings offer much more than free online courses: live exchange with experts, hands-on exercises with local LLMs, interactive group work (AI buzzword bingo, innovation process), personal feedback, lifetime access to the Discord community, a certificate of participation and, for leadership trainings, three 1:1 coaching sessions. You learn in practice and apply it at work straight away.
