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
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which tasks generative AI can support reliably and where probabilistic output, hallucinations, bias, context limits or outdated knowledge create risk.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.
Market standardNot included
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.
Market standardNot included
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.
Market standardNot included
Review & optimise results
Content and learning objective+
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.
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
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.
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
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.
CTPM+Not included
Concrete transfer result
Content and learning objective+
Create a tangible result for your own work, such as a prompt template, analysis, checklist, process sketch or pilot description. Next steps, ownership and success criteria make the transfer actionable.
CTPM+Not included
Adaptation to audience, knowledge & assignment
Content and learning objective+
Before an in-house session, audience, knowledge level, systems, assignment and desired outcomes are aligned. Examples, depth, exercises and transfer tasks are adapted to the actual organisational context.
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

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.
For seminars with practical transfer
Example transfer result
A validated SQL query for a business question, including joins, filters, result checks and Oracle, MySQL and MariaDB notes.
