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.
Review AI output for professional accuracy, completeness, contradictions, source grounding and fitness for purpose. Checklists, challenge questions and human approval points help correct weak results deliberately.

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.
Capabilities, limits & common failure modes
Content and learning objective+
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which tasks generative AI can support reliably and where probabilistic output, hallucinations, bias, context limits or outdated knowledge create risk.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.
Systematic prompting
Content and learning objective+
Translate unclear work requests into structured prompts containing context, task, inputs, objective, quality criteria and output format. This makes requirements transparent, results easier to compare and follow-up questions more focused.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
TraceabilityHow requirements and decisions remain transparent
Traceability links origin, requirement, change, test and approval so that decisions and verification remain explainable.
Quality gateWhen a result may move forward
A quality gate defines clear review criteria and an approval decision. Only results meeting those criteria proceed.
For seminars with practical transfer
Example transfer result
A practical, reviewed result for applying the seminar content to your own work: Herausfinden, was wirklich gebraucht wird, und es eindeutig beschreiben.
The actual result is adapted to the participants’ task, role and permitted data during the seminar.What you will gain
Write verifiable requirements.
Use models and quality criteria.
Improve alignment and traceability.
