What participants say

Thanks to you, I have lost some of my fear of my smartphone. And I've gained a sense of just how much this little device can do.

Course participant, smartphone introduction (translated from German)
Yesterday I took part in the ValBit GmbH seminar “AI Made Easy for Seniors” (Bildungszentrum Waldshut). Although I had already worked with ChatGPT before, I took away many new and interesting insights. For some participants the event was a bit of a challenge, as using a smartphone was still new territory for them. The course leader handled this in a very friendly, patient and competent manner and kept helping whenever difficulties arose. All in all, it was a very successful event. I can warmly recommend this seminar to anyone looking for a clear, hands-on introduction to AI.
Course participant, AI Made Easy (translated from German)

Real professionals. And a lot of patience.

Digital skills should exclude no one. That's why we have been training people of every age from day one – from smartphones to AI.
