AI corporate training.

Practical AI training for your organisation, from board-level sessions on AI strategy to hands-on workshops with Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot for your staff. We build AI systems ourselves and deliver training from that practice, not from an off-the-shelf e-learning package.

What is AI business training?

AI business training is a broad training programme that helps your organisation learn to use, assess and steer AI in day-to-day work. It goes beyond a one-off workshop: you get a programme that suits your sector, your roles and your specific tooling.

A good programme combines four layers: strategy for the board, technology for the development team, day-to-day use for operational staff, and compliance for HR and legal. We tailor those layers to what your organisation does now and where you want to go.

The difference from our AI literacy training lies in scope. Literacy training is a targeted way of meeting the obligation under Article 4 of the AI Act: a minimum level of knowledge for anyone working with AI systems. Company training is broader. Literacy is one module, but it also covers tooling, prompt engineering, AI strategy, evaluation and implementation.

We deliver on-site at your premises, online through live sessions with recordings, or in a hybrid format. Sector-specific modules, such as healthcare, finance, marketing or government, can be added on request, built around cases we have encountered during AI implementation projects.

One deliberate choice we make: we train from the technology, not from the hype. The content is grounded in what AI models actually do today, not in marketing material from AI vendors. That also means we are open about where AI is not yet reliable enough, and where an organisation is better off getting the basics in order before investing in an agent or a RAG pipeline.

When is AI company training relevant?

01
Obligation

The AI Act obligation needs addressing

Since February 2025, any organisation using AI must demonstrably ensure its staff have sufficient knowledge. Company training covers this requirement, plus the steps that follow.

02
Adoption

Staff use AI unevenly

Some of your team already uses Claude or ChatGPT every day, while others don't. You want a shared level of knowledge and agreed ways of working.

03
Strategy

The board wants a grip on AI direction

Deciding where AI adds value, and where it doesn't, calls for a structured session with senior leaders, separate from the operational side.

04
Risk

Unintended use creates risk

Client data pasted into public chatbots, unchecked hallucinations in client communication, shadow IT with AI subscriptions on personal accounts. Training puts this into context.

Three pillars of a good training programme.

Pillar 01

Understanding

What a language model is, what it can and cannot do, and where the risks lie. No marketing story, just an honest picture of what AI means in 2026 for your type of work.

Pillar 02

Skills

Working concretely with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot or your own tools. Writing prompts, assessing output, spotting hallucinations, and building your own workflows.

Pillar 03

Governance

Policy, the AI Act, overlap with GDPR and internal ways of working. What is and isn't allowed with client data, how you record decisions, and how you set up an audit trail.

Modules by role.

An AI programme works best when each role gets its own session, since the board has different questions from an operational team. We select modules based on your organisation.

Module · Board

Board session on AI strategy

A workshop for the management team and board on AI strategy, ROI, prioritisation and the AI Act obligation. We use examples from your own sector and go through where AI realistically adds value.

Module · Tech team

Tech team training

In-depth training for developers and data engineers: LLM architecture, RAG pipelines, evaluation, hallucination mitigation, and when you are better off not using an LLM at all.

Module · Operations

Operational staff

Hands-on work with Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot for everyday tasks. Writing prompts safely, verifying output, recognising sensitive data, and knowing what not to paste into a public chat.

Module · Compliance

Compliance & legal

Deeper dive into AI Act classification, GDPR overlap, DPIAs for AI systems, audit trail setup, and who within your organisation holds which responsibility.

Module · HR

HR-specific training

AI in recruitment processes, bias risks in automated selection, the transparency obligation towards candidates, and the classification of HR AI as high-risk under the AI Act.

Module · Sector

Sector-specific deep dives

On request, modules for healthcare (NEN 7510, record-keeping AI), finance (supervisory frameworks), marketing (content, personalisation) and the public sector (decision-making with AI).

What you can do after the training.

Concrete skills and organisational outcomes we aim for in every training design.

Reclaiming time

Knowing, for each role, where AI saves time and where it doesn't.

Writing prompts

Structured prompts that deliver repeatable results.

Assessing output

Spotting hallucinations before they leave the building.

AI Act foundations

Demonstrably meeting the AI literacy obligation.

Scoring use cases

Separating good AI cases from noise and hype.

Working agreements

Internal policy and acceptable-use policy ready for publication.

Choosing tooling

Make a well-founded choice between Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot or your own LLM.

Next steps

A clear roadmap towards agents, RAG or your own integration.

Why Appfront rather than a conventional training provider?

Distinction 01

We build it ourselves

Our trainers work on production AI during the week: RAG pipelines, agents, evaluation frameworks. The examples in the training come from projects we have built or refined ourselves.

Distinction 02

Technique first, no slides

You learn not only what a language model is, but also why it is sometimes unusable for your use case. We run the tools on your own documents and discuss the outcome candidly.

Distinction 03

No e-learning package

You don't buy a video course. These are live sessions with experts who can answer your questions, including those that fall outside the scenario. Recording is optional for new starters.

How a engagement works in practice.

We start with an intake, by phone or at your office, where we go through which roles are involved, which tooling you already use, and which sector-specific issues apply. Based on that, we propose a programme with modules, format and schedule.

The training then takes place. In-house means we come to your office; a room with a projector and a laptop per participant is enough. Online, we run a live video session with recording, and participants work along live in their own browser. Hybrid also works: a leadership session on site, with the technical modules online for the wider team.

After the training, we provide a short report: which modules were delivered, who took part, and what level the group reached. That material is useful as evidence for the AI literacy obligation. We schedule follow-up sessions separately, for example a deeper dive into AI agents if that turns out to be a logical next topic.

The programme varies by organisation. A small or medium-sized business may need only a few half-days; a larger enterprise with several departments and compliance questions will get a longer trajectory. We work with a fixed rate per half-day; the final cost depends on the number of modules, the group size and whether sector-specific preparation is needed.

Important: the training is not a standalone event. We deliberately link it to what your organisation needs next. Sometimes, after a board session, it turns out that an AI strategy programme is the logical next step. Sometimes a tech team wants to build a first RAG pipeline straight after the training. In that case we help, or we hand over the technology. We are honest about when an implementation project is worth it and when you are better off waiting.

Which tools and techniques do we cover?

The training is tool-agnostic where it can be and specific where it has to be. In the operational modules we work by default with Claude (Anthropic) and ChatGPT (OpenAI) as general-purpose assistants, plus Microsoft Copilot for organisations in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. For development teams we also cover GitHub Copilot, Cursor and custom LLM integrations.

In terms of technical depth, we cover the fundamentals of transformer architecture, context windows, tokenisation and what these mean in practice for your use cases. We also discuss RAG (retrieval-augmented generation), embeddings, evaluation frameworks and the choice between API access and self-hosted models. We look at the choice of provider — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Mistral, or an open-source model — including the implications for data residency and costs.

We also show you what doesn't work. AI tools that score well in benchmarks but disappoint in production, prompt templates that circulate online but trigger hallucinations in practice, and use cases where a traditional solution is simply more reliable. An honest picture of where things stand today, not a sales pitch for a single tool.

Format options.

Format 01

On-site

At your office, with participants physically present. Works best for leadership sessions, hands-on modules and sessions where sensitive internal topics are discussed.

Format 02

Online (with recording)

Live video call, with participants following along in their browser. Suitable for distributed teams and standalone follow-up modules. A recording is available for those who missed a session or for new joiners.

Format 03

Hybrid and custom

Combinations are standard: leadership on-site, the wider team online. Or a sector-specific variant with external experts involved. We tailor this to your situation.

Frequently asked questions.

What does AI corporate training include?
Corporate training covers modules on AI strategy, everyday use of tools such as Claude and ChatGPT, prompt engineering, AI Act compliance, deeper technical training for development teams, and HR-specific topics such as AI in recruitment. For each organisation, we choose the modules that fit.
How does it differ from AI literacy training?
AI literacy training is a targeted implementation of Article 4 of the AI Act — a minimum knowledge level for anyone working with AI. Corporate training is broader: alongside literacy, it covers tooling, strategy, implementation and sector-specific depth. Many clients start with literacy and expand later.
Which modules do you offer per role?
Standard modules are available for leadership (AI strategy and ROI), tech teams (LLM architecture and RAG), operational staff (safe use of AI tools), compliance and legal (AI Act and audit trails) and HR (AI in recruitment and transparency). Sector-specific modules — healthcare, finance, marketing, the public sector — we develop on request.
Online or on-site — which works better?
On-site works best for leadership sessions and hands-on modules where group discussion matters. Online is practical for distributed teams and standalone follow-up modules. Hybrid combines both. During the intake, we advise you which format suits each module.
What determines the cost of a programme?
Costs depend on the number of modules, the group size, whether it is on-site, online or hybrid, and whether sector-specific preparation is needed. We work with a fixed rate per half-day and provide a concrete quote after the intake. No subscription model, no licence fees.
Is AI corporate training mandatory?
Part of it is. Article 4 of the AI Act has required since February 2025 that staff working with AI systems have sufficient knowledge — the literacy module within our corporate training covers this obligation. The broader modules are not mandatory, but in practice they are valuable for keeping control over AI adoption.
What happens after the training?
You receive a report stating which modules were delivered, who participated and the level the group has reached. Follow-up sessions are planned separately — for example, a deep dive into AI agents, an implementation programme, or a refresher for new staff. An on-call helpdesk arrangement is also possible: a fixed point of contact for substantive AI questions that arise within your team.
How large can the group be?
For hands-on modules, we work best with groups of six to twelve participants: large enough for peer exchange, small enough for everyone to get involved. Leadership sessions work better in a smaller setting of three to six people. For larger organisations, we split the group or run the same module several times.
Do we need prior knowledge?
No. We open every module with a short level-setting and adjust the pace to the group. It helps if participants bring a working laptop to the hands-on sessions, along with an account for the tool at the centre of the module (Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot). That way they can start working straight away.
