Alles auf einen Blick
How do I use AI User CCI to work more productively with generative AI?
AI User CCI helps you turn generative AI from occasional experimentation into a practical tool for daily work. You learn how large language models, AI text assistants, image generation and automation tools work and where their limits are. You use AI to create better outputs, support analysis, structure information and speed up recurring tasks. The focus stays practical: you build skills that help you use tools such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and other AI applications with more clarity, control and business value.
How do I build prompts, workflows and AI agents for real business tasks?
In AI User CCI, you learn professional prompt engineering and workflow design step by step. You work with system prompts, user prompts, structured inputs and outputs, anchoring and few-shot prompting. You also learn how AI tools can work together through tool chaining and how information flows between AI systems and conventional business tools. This helps you transform multi-step work processes and build reliable AI workflows for areas such as marketing, sales, administration, customer service or internal communication.
How do I use my own data, RAG and automation safely?
The course also shows you how to create practical AI assistants with access to your own content. You learn the basics of embeddings, vector databases and RAG-based architectures, so you can understand how documents are indexed, retrieved and used by specialized chatbots. You also explore AI automation with APIs, webhooks and independent AI agents. You compare rule-based and learning-based systems and learn how to choose the right approach for your task.
AI User CCI is delivered as an English live-online training with 50 teaching hours and a strong practical focus. Across five modules, you work on your own projects and develop AI applications, prompts, workflows and agents that you can transfer directly into your business processes. After successful completion, you receive an IHK certificate that documents your applied AI competence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between an AI User and an AI Manager?
The AI Manager focuses on high-level strategy, governance, and identifying business use cases. The AI User, however, is the "doer" who masters the technical execution, such as advanced Prompt Engineering and building AI Agents to automate specific workflows. Both courses combined result in the official AI Professional IHK designation.
2. Do I need programming skills to become an AI User CCI?
No deep coding knowledge is required. The course is designed for professionals and managers who want to use "No-Code" and "Low-Code" AI solutions. You will learn to communicate with AI systems through natural language (Prompt Engineering) and intuitive automation tools.
3. How practical is the AI User CCI certification?
The course features a 74% practical application rate. Instead of passive listening, you will work on real-world projects, create live prompts, and configure AI-driven workflows that you can implement in your company the very next day.
4. Is the IHK (CCI) certificate recognized internationally?
Yes. The CCI (Chamber of Commerce and Industry) is a globally respected brand for vocational excellence. The "CCI" designation confirms that the certification meets international standards, making it a valuable asset for careers in global tech and business environments.
