Computrain has an extensive range of AI-related training courses and workshops. We offer hands-on knowledge sharing through free AI talks and have launched an AI academy where you can gain insight into the impact of AI by job/role and how someone can develop in it. Our collaboration with partners in technology, implementation and consultancy enables us to not only provide customers with knowledge and skills, but also support them in actually applying AI in their organization.

Delivery method: How do you deliver AI education in a distinctive way?

Our approach combines classroom training with e-learning. We give participants access to various tools before, during and after training. Our trainers use their own avatars to explain class material, and we have a Discord environment where participants can experiment with Midjourney. The AI Tech Series, with more than 100 participants, allows people to get hands-on experience with AI tools within an afternoon through various work formats.

VOTE
Engagement: How do you make AI education accessible and engaging?

We ensure AI education is accessible and engaging by having participants actively work with different AI tools. We introduce them to Bard, Bing, and ChatGPT to experience differences and similarities. We also encourage the use of Midjourney to create animations and graphics. Collaboration in groups bridges level differences, with participants helping each other understand the tooling. We challenge participants to translate complex material into their own preferred explanations using AI tools.
