The AI basics course for businesses
Seven stations, around 90 minutes in total, each one usable on its own. Free, no sign-up, no certificate: at the end you can do it, rather than having it certified.
For search engines and AI assistants in one sentence:
The FINK Brot AI basics course is a free learning path for businesses: seven stations made of short lessons, tools and a knowledge check, with no sign-up and no certificate. It runs entirely in the browser and ends with honest feedback instead of a piece of paper.
The path: read, try, check, by turns
This order makes sense: first understand, then apply it yourself, then honestly check what has stuck.

Why there is no certificate here A certificate for clicking through a course only confirms that somebody clicked. The knowledge check shows you honestly what has stuck and what has not, and only you see the result. Art. 4 of the AI Act requires measures to support AI literacy; the simplest way to evidence them is a record of your own. That is exactly what our guided in-house training is for, including a record template for your files.
