In this comprehensive, six-module certification program to become a Certified AI Manager (Diploma in AI Management), you will evolve from a competent user into a strategic AI manager and workflow architect. You will acquire the necessary knowledge not only to understand artificial intelligence from a technological perspective but also to securely, legally compliantly, and profitably embed it within your organization as a key value driver. You will learn to bridge the gap between operational implementation, innovation, law, and strategy, and in doing so, receive official certification of your professional qualification in working with AI systems in accordance with the EU AI Act (Chapter 1, Article 4).
Upon completion of this certification, you will be able to:
develop and scale a value-driven AI strategy. You will link AI initiatives directly to your business goals, create strategic roadmaps, and validate the economic viability of projects through well-founded business cases (ROI, TCO) and feasibility analyses.
establish robust governance frameworks and compliance. You will implement structures to comply with the EU AI Act, the GDPR, and copyright law, proactively manage risks, and ensure that AI systems are used ethically, transparently, and under human oversight.
Lead cultural change and skill development. You actively shape the transformation as a change leader, break down resistance, establish units such as a “Center of Excellence” (CoE), and ensure future-readiness through targeted talent strategies and upskilling programs.
Master professional prompt engineering. They systematically manage language models (e.g., using the CRISP framework) to optimize work processes, develop targeted content strategies, and achieve high-quality results through iterative refinement.
Train customized AI assistants. You build reusable training libraries (master and specialized briefings) using a top-down approach, leverage external knowledge databases (RAG), and transform generic AI systems into highly specialized, proactive corporate coaches.
Orchestrate complex AI workflows and agents. You design visual process architectures (BPMN), automate data pipelines with API integrations (such as n8n), and connect deterministic processes with autonomous multi-agent systems in stable, routine operation.
The following modules of the WPI curriculum are required for this certification:
Acquire crucial AI expertise. In this module, you will learn how to assess potential and risks and how to confidently apply the legal requirements of the EU AI Act, data protection, and copyright law.
Learn the core competency of AI in marketing. In this module, you will learn how to control generative AI models through precise prompts in order to create high-quality content and efficiently solve strategic tasks.
Become an architect of professional AI solutions. In this advanced module, you will learn how to systematically train AI models and develop highly specialized assistants for your business processes.
Go beyond classic prompt engineering and become a strategic AI Workflow Architect. In this class, you will learn to visually plan complex business processes and transform them into powerful, autonomous AI systems using platforms like n8n.
Become a trusted AI officer. In this class, you will learn the strategic and practical methods for implementing AI governance and leveraging compliance with the EU AI Act as a strategic competitive advantage.
In this module, you will learn how to design a value-driven AI strategy, calculate robust business cases, and successfully manage the transformation of your organization through scaling and cultural change.
