What you will work on in this seminar
The modules make scope, priorities and intentional boundaries transparent.
Planned learning scope: 2 days. The offered format covers 2 days, including breaks, questions and transfer phases.
Learn which tasks generative AI can support reliably and where probabilistic output, hallucinations, bias, context limits or outdated knowledge create risk. Common failure modes are recognised, assessed and connected to appropriate checks.

Current models, tools & applications
Content and learning objective+
Distinguish language models, AI services, copilots and specialised tools by task, data access and degree of integration. Criteria such as output quality, data protection, cost, currency and integration into existing workplaces make selection transparent.
Improve & reuse prompts
Content and learning objective+
Improve prompts in controlled steps, compare variants and distinguish professional weaknesses from wording or context problems. Proven patterns are versioned, documented and made reusable for similar tasks.
Text, documents, research & knowledge work
Content and learning objective+
Work on common tasks such as drafting, summarising, comparing, extracting, classifying and preliminary research. Clarify required inputs, result validation and where AI usefully supports the existing workflow.
Confidential information & organisational data
Content and learning objective+
Classify personal, confidential and business-critical information and decide what data an AI service may process. Anonymisation, permissions, provider settings, internal rules and safer alternatives are assessed through practical situations.
Practical examples & exercises
Content and learning objective+
Apply the methods to transparent tasks, compare alternative approaches and reflect on the impact of your decisions. Exercises combine explanation, hands-on work, feedback and a transferable improvement.
Course materials & job aids
Content and learning objective+
Receive and use checklists, structures, examples and concise references that remain useful after the seminar. Materials are not merely distributed; they are explained and related to common application situations.
Workflows & process chains
Content and learning objective+
Map a real workflow with triggers, inputs, roles, decisions, handovers and outputs. Assess where AI can help, which controls are required and how a reliable pilot fits into the process chain.
Use documents & knowledge systematically
Content and learning objective+
Discover existing text, documents and knowledge through source structure, metadata, terminology and suitable search or retrieval approaches. Quality, currency, permissions and the limits of a RAG or knowledge solution are made explicit.
Reusable prompt, analysis & workflow templates
Content and learning objective+
Develop prompt structures, analysis templates and workflow patterns that can be reused with clear inputs, checks and ownership. Versioning and adaptation prevent templates from becoming uncontrolled one-off solutions.
Collaboration with sector experts
Content and learning objective+
For regulated, safety-critical or highly specialised content, the roles and responsibilities of a dual-instructor team are defined. CTPM covers AI, IT, data, architecture and methodology; the sector expert adds processes, terminology and binding requirements.
Requirements engineering & business analysis
Content and learning objective+
Structure stakeholders, objectives, system boundaries and requirements using suitable elicitation, modelling and documentation techniques. Quality criteria, acceptance conditions, reviews and traceability connect business and delivery.
Data modelling, SQL & databases
Content and learning objective+
Transform business concepts and rules into conceptual, logical and relational data models. Keys, relationships, normalisation, integrity, SQL queries and performance are treated as connected design decisions.
ETL, interfaces & data integration
Content and learning objective+
Design the path from source to target systems with mappings, transformations, loading approaches and quality rules. Delta logic, error handling, restart, monitoring, metadata and lineage are considered from the start.
Legacy analysis & knowledge retention
Content and learning objective+
Capture functions, data, interfaces, dependencies, documentation and implicit knowledge in an established solution. Risks and unknown areas become visible so modernisation can proceed incrementally without uncontrolled changes to current behaviour.
Understand relational databases
Content and learning objective+
Practical module with explanation, exercise, reflection and a reusable transfer result.
Select, filter and sort data
Content and learning objective+

The complete professional standard
Fundamentals, current tools, prompting, exercises, output review, privacy, security and responsible use are taught clearly and practically.
More transfer through senior practice
CTPM+ connects learning to roles, documents, knowledge, processes, data, interfaces, architecture and a realistic next implementation step.
An academy that enables learning
We do not merely repeat terminology. We make it usable.
More than 25 years of adult education and thousands of participants in IT and Oracle topics shape our approach: explain clearly, practise together, review critically and transfer safely.
We connect new terminology immediately with plain language and a familiar problem.
You apply the method yourself using a clear example and can ask questions at any time.
We compare results, identify errors and develop understandable quality criteria.
You leave with a template, decision aid or a concrete next step for your work.
Two learning samples from this seminar
Technical terms become clear step by step
Open an example to see how we connect terminology with meaning, application and review.
Quality gateWhen a result may move forward
A quality gate defines clear review criteria and an approval decision. Only results meeting those criteria proceed.
TraceabilityHow requirements and decisions remain transparent
Traceability links origin, requirement, change, test and approval so that decisions and verification remain explainable.
For seminars with practical transfer
Example transfer result
A practical, reviewed result for applying the seminar content to your own work: KI beim Verstehen, Entwickeln und Prüfen von Software einsetzen.
