Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.

After the course, you will be able to understand transformation processes according to the principles of Industry 4.0 and 5.0, classify relevant technologies and legal frameworks (e.g. AI Act, GDPR) and implement digitalization strategies in your own company. You take sustainability, ethics and security into account and actively shape the impact on the organization, employees and processes.

You will also be able to formulate targeted prompts and use AI tools such as ChatGPT or Copilot Chat effectively to research information, organize work processes, create texts and media and optimize presentations. You will also be able to critically evaluate AI, use it responsibly and integrate it into your day-to-day work in a practical way.

The course is aimed at anyone who wants to play an active role in shaping future industrial development - with a particular focus on human-machine interaction, sustainability and resilient value creation. The course is particularly relevant for employees from production, maintenance, logistics, controlling, administration, HR and innovation management in industrial companies.

Specialists in the field of Industry 4.0 and 5.0 are not only employed by large industrial companies. Small and medium-sized companies that want to participate in the digital transformation are also looking for qualified personnel with knowledge of Industry 4.0. After the course, you can provide meaningful proof of your new skills with a TÜV Rheinland-certified qualification.

Specialists who can use AI as a tool to improve efficiency, decision-making and innovation in companies are also in demand in all sectors.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.
