Capabilities, limits & common failure modes
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which tasks generative AI can support reliably and where probabilistic output, hallucinations, bias, context limits or outdated knowledge create risk.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.

Market standardNot included
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.
Market standardNot included
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.
Market standardNot included
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.
Market standardNot included
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.
CTPM+Not included
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.
CTPM+Not included
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.
CTPM+Not included
Databases, interfaces, ETL & enterprise software
Content and learning objective+
Place data objects, databases, interfaces, ETL pipelines and enterprise software into one coherent solution view. System boundaries, data flows, responsibilities, error paths and operational requirements are considered.
CTPM+Not included
Quality & control points
Content and learning objective+
Define measurable expectations, validation rules and approval points for inputs, processing and outputs. Sampling, logging, escalation and human accountability create controlled use instead of blind trust.
CTPM+Not included
Enterprise IT & project cases
Content and learning objective+
Work on realistic cases from requirements engineering, business analysis, project management, development, architecture, quality and testing. Roles, system dependencies, trade-offs and technical constraints are explicitly included.
CTPM+Not included
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.
Market standardNot included
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.
Market standardNot included
Software architecture & modernisation
Content and learning objective+
Derive architecture goals from business and quality requirements and structure components, interfaces and responsibilities. Architecture decisions, risks, modernisation steps and transparent documentation are assessed together.
Market standardNot included
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.
Market standardNot included
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.
CTPM+Not included
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.

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.
Understand
We connect new terminology immediately with plain language and a familiar problem.
Practise
You apply the method yourself using a clear example and can ask questions at any time.
Review
We compare results, identify errors and develop understandable quality criteria.
Transfer
You leave with a template, decision aid or a concrete next step for your work.

Technical terms become clear step by step

PromptFrom a vague request to a usable task description
A before-and-after example shows how context, task, goal, quality criteria and output format turn a vague request into a verifiable instruction for AI.
Context windowWhich information the model actually considers
The context window is the model’s working area for the current task. You learn what belongs there and how long or unstructured input can displace important information.
For seminars with practical transfer
Example transfer result
A reviewed prompt and validation template covering context, task, goal, output format and quality criteria for a recurring task.
The actual result is adapted to the participants’ task, role and permitted data during the seminar.What you will gain
