Hands-on, fixed-scope training — your team, your infrastructure, working systems at the end of the day. Every workshop is based on a published guide that serves as the syllabus; what you read there is what we build together. Need a written assessment or architecture instead of training? That's consulting.
Fixed scope, fixed price, remote or on-site. Your team leaves with working systems, not slides.

The EU AI Act makes AI literacy a legal duty for everyone who uses AI tools (Art. 4, since August 2026). Role-based, versioned, audit-ready evidence per employee — for teams, HR, engineering and leadership. The full model in the workshops & talks article and the KI-Kompetenz-Training program site.
Something else in mind — database foundations, S3 backup architecture, TLS edge with CrowdSec? All of it exists as guides and can be packaged as a workshop.
Beyond the infrastructure formats above: compliance-driven workshops for the sovereign digital workplace — Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) security obligations, and teams moving from SaaS tenants to self-hosted open source (openEduSuite, mailcow). Full details in the Workshops & Talks article.
Every engagement can start with a free 30-minute call to check fit.
