For HR, L&D and people-development teams

BEFORE YOUR COMPANY BUILDS AN AI COACH

Your tech team can build almost anything. The hard part is knowing what should be built, which tools are genuinely fit for human development, and how to prove the result is safe and effective. This certification makes you the person in the room who can answer that — with frameworks, a working prototype and a recognised credential.

Bundles from €1,190 excl. VAT · early-bird from €949 until 30 September · live sessions from 14 October, 2–4pm CET / 8–10am ET

Who this is for

THE PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND DEVELOPMENT SHOULD DESIGN THE AI

  • HR, L&D and talent leaders evaluating AI coaching or learning platforms for their organisation
  • People-development professionals asked to “do something with AI” without a method to start from
  • Internal champions who need to brief, challenge and co-design with their own tech or data teams

What you walk away with

Three things your organisation feels

JUDGE ANY TOOL IN THE ROOM

Evaluate platforms and vendors against criteria that matter for coaching, learning and human development — not feature lists. You leave able to say why a tool is or isn’t fit for your people.

BUILD, DON’T JUST BRIEF

Design and build a working AI coaching companion for a real internal use case, grounded in your own methodology and safety-tested — so you bring a prototype, not a wish list, to your tech team.

PROVE IT MEETS THE STANDARD

Architect multi-stage experiences with guardrails, escalation paths, testing, evaluation and monitoring — the evidence your risk, legal and works-council conversations need.
