What makes this training different
Practical application, not just theory.
Most AI programs focus on knowledge. CAAIE focuses on how you actually work with AI. You leave not just with more information, but with methods you can use in everyday work.
- 01 Workflows instead of isolated promptsRepeatable processes, not one-off tricks.
- 02 Structured application instead of trial and errorA clear method for choosing, testing and managing AI workflows.
- 03 Clarity instead of overloadFewer tools, more depth. Focus on what works in your role.
- 04 Current models, the right toolsWe work with the leading models and adapt the tools for each cohort. Most recently: Claude, Make and n8n.
Who this training is for
For professionals who want to integrate AI into their work in a structured way.
Typical roles
Leaders and team leads Business analysts and project leads Operations and HR Marketing and communications Consultants and strategists Self-employed and founders
No technical background is required. The focus is on applying AI in everyday work.

Insgesamt eine sehr tolle Ausbildung
… Besonders wertvoll war das praxisnahe, hands-on Lernen an meinen eigenen Aufgaben, am Ende hatte ich konkrete Werkzeuge und eine fertige KI-Landkarte in der Hand. Am stärksten verändert hat sich mein Blick auf die eigene Arbeit: weg vom „Prompt und fertig“, hin zu echter Integration.
