AI training & workshops
From awareness workshop to setup — enabling teams to use safely and productively.
Most employees have already tried — usually privately, often with free cloud tools, almost always without training. The result is : data lands in third-party cloud services, hallucinations get mistaken for truth, and no one knows which tools the team is actually using.
Since 2 February 2026, under Art. 4 of the is mandatory: companies deploying must prove their staff understand the systems they use — how they work, their limits, the risks. Training is no longer nice-to-have, it is a regulatory requirement.
Good training acknowledges two realities: management needs different content than a case worker, and a half-day event without follow-up changes nothing in how people work. So we don't build a standard programme but a tiered curriculum with multipliers and update discipline.
Audience analysis
Roles, prior knowledge, existing tools, industry duties — define learning goals per audience.
Curriculum design
Modular library (fundamentals, , tools, data protection, ), three depth tiers, build plan to fit.
Delivery
Hands-on in a environment, own data or anonymised examples, on-site / remote / hybrid.
Train multipliers intensively, cascade model into the departments, champions with allocated time.
Sustainability & updates
, monthly labs, semi-annual refreshers, onboarding integration, regulatory updates.

From awareness workshop to lasting AI capability
Train-the-trainer & multiplier network
MultipliersCascadeAI championFrom around 30–50 employees on, a train-the-trainer approach pays off: instead of booking an external training every time, selected internal multipliers are trained intensively — and then train their own department. That scales more cheaply and fits everyday work better, because the multipliers know their colleagues' use cases.
Role of the AI champion:
- First point of contact for colleagues with AI questions — lower barrier than IT
- Maintains the department's prompt library and collects working examples
- Brings new use cases from the team into regular champion rounds
- Escalates critical cases (data protection, hallucinations with consequences) to the AI officer
- Helps onboard new employees — AI tools are part of induction
Content of the trainer training:
- All technical modules at the deep-dive level — the champion has to know the material more deeply than their team
- Didactics basics — how do you explain hallucination to a skeptical colleague? How do you structure a 30-minute learning unit?
- Coaching tools — learning goal definition, simple exercise formats, Q&A moderation
- Escalation paths — at what point is a question too big for the champion and belongs with IT, the AI officer or the DPO?
Cascade model in practice:
- Stage 1 — 2–4 champions trained externally over 2 days
- Stage 2 — champions introduce their own department in 90-minute awareness sessions
- Stage 3 — champions accompany their departments in monthly 30-minute lab sessions, collect use cases
- Stage 4 — quarterly champions meeting with external sparring, new topics, update on the legal situation
Important: multipliers get working time for their role — typically 10–20% of a full-time position. Anyone expected to be a champion “on the side” without official release will give up within weeks.
Sustainability, refreshers & update discipline
A one-off training doesn't change how people work in any lasting way — certainly not in a field where models, tools and the legal situation shift every few months. Lasting AI capability needs ongoing upkeep, not just a workshop date in the calendar.
What continues after the first workshop:
- Shared prompt library — versioned, categorised, with sample input and output. Power users maintain it, everyone benefits
- Cheat sheets & quick-reference cards — printed or digital, common use cases on a single page
- Monthly lab sessions — 30 to 60 minutes, new tools, new use cases, open questions from everyday work
- Semi-annual refreshers — what has changed in tools, models, the legal situation; what have we learned
- Q&A channel — Slack, Teams or Mattermost, where questions and answers accumulate as a growing knowledge base
Onboarding new employees:
- AI awareness module is part of standard onboarding, not optional
- Mandatory acknowledgement of the internal AI policy with the tool approvals
- First own prompt exercise with the department's AI champion in the first work week
- Pointer to the prompt library and Q&A channel as ongoing resources
Update discipline on regulatory changes:
- With the next AI Act stage (high-risk duties from August 2026), requirements grow — training content is adjusted with the AI officer
- New tools in the stack (e.g. a second self-hosted model) get a 30-minute introduction slot
- Incidents (e.g. a near-miss data protection issue) are reworked anonymised as a learning example in the next refresher
Success indicators here aren't participant numbers, but: is shadow AI shrinking? Is the prompt library growing? Are fewer routine questions reaching IT? Are the Art. 4 AI Act compliance duties demonstrably met?
