You see how AI is changing everything. You hear about colleagues experimenting with it. You read about companies automating processes. And you ask yourself: When is the next train coming? Is there even one left?
Or maybe you have already experimented. Tried ChatGPT. Written a few prompts. But somehow... it still has not clicked. The results are okay, but not convincing. You know there is more potential – but not how to get there.
The uncomfortable truth: Sticking your head in the sand is not a strategy. The AI colleague is coming – whether you want it or not. The only question is: Will you work with it or be replaced by it?
The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to get started. The train is getting faster, not slower.
What if, in 6 months, you could go from AI beginner to internal expert? At your own pace. With materials made specifically for your industry. With a community facing the same challenges. And with a guide who knows the way.
What if your personal AI agent worked for you while you focus on more important things? Preparing reviews, checking documents, conducting research – reliably and around the clock.
No computer science degree required. No programming skills. And no fear that what you learn will be outdated in a year – because you learn fundamental concepts that last. Not today’s hype, but the foundation for tomorrow.
That is exactly why I created "Catch the Train."
Catch the Train is my 6-month course for everyone who finally wants to understand and apply AI – without prior knowledge, at their own pace, with real guidance. Specifically for medical device and IVD professionals. Whether you work at a startup or a corporation: the content is directly transferable.
Not just a random collection of videos, but a didactically well-designed course. Built according to the spiral model: concepts are introduced, deepened, and applied in practice. Every lesson builds on the previous one. You are guided – step by step, from the fundamentals to confident application.
The concept:
AI is evolving rapidly. ChatGPT 4, 5, 6... Claude, Gemini, the next tool. If you only learn tools, you have to keep learning from scratch.
That is why this course teaches fundamental concepts: How do large language models work? What is context engineering? How do I structure data so that any AI can understand it? These are principles that apply today and will still apply in 5 years.
A completely new course on our e-learning platform. Every lesson includes practical exercises that you can apply directly in your everyday work.
The four pillars:
Three times during the program, we come together live. I answer your questions, give tips for your specific work context, and show live demos. This is your chance to speak directly with me – not with a staff member, but with me.
Access to our exclusive online community on RocketChat. Connect with other participants, discuss exercises, exchange experiences, and present your own projects. Questions are answered regularly by the institute.
You will receive:
You will receive access to the complete Johner Academy – including courses on LLMs, the AI Act, and more. And at the end, there is an exam with a certificate: "Certified MedTech AI Practitioner (Johner Institute)".
The promise: After 6 months, you will be able to delegate routine work. You will have a reliable tool that you truly master. You will be the go-to person in your team when it comes to AI. And you will have increased your value – for your company and for yourself.
I have been advising medical device manufacturers for more than 20 years – from startups to large corporations. I wrote the AI guidance document used by notified bodies for their assessments. More than 20,000 professionals have attended my seminars. I was named Germany’s best professor.
But that is not the reason why I am running this program.
I do it because I see how many smart people feel left behind. They believe AI is only for technical people. They are afraid of JSON and prompts. They do not know where to start.
I know you can do this.
With this program, the Johner Institute also trains its own consultants. The best in the industry learn this way. If they can do it, so can you.
I want you to experience success. To lose your fear. To be able to join the conversation again. And to secure your job – through competence, not hope.
Feedback from my AI seminars:
“I really enjoyed the workshop and learned a lot; especially how to create effective prompts (moving away from ‘just trying something’). Guidance on ‘good’ prompting, including the exercises.”
“Seeing what great possibilities already open up with today’s AIs (if you know how to use them). I had completely underestimated the possibilities. So really great.”
“The seminar provides a very good overview and, in many cases, a deeper insight into the approach and methodology of how AI can and must help in everyday work and across the company as a whole.”
“Mr. Johner responded to every request, and you can really tell how passionate he is about the topic :) The exercise materials are very well prepared.”
“Clear examples and lots of useful knowledge. Presented by people who absolutely understand what they are doing.”
This is the first and only time I will personally guide this program. Only 50 companies. Starting in 2027, the program will be led by others. If you want to learn with me, now is the moment.
From the end of June to mid-December 2026. At your own pace, with a clear structure.
Confident use of ChatGPT, Claude & Co. Prompt and context engineering for your tasks.
YAML, JSON, JSON Schema – explained without fear. The key to professional AI results.
Use AI for your personal work. Delegate routine tasks. Gain time for strategy. Build your personal AI agent.
AI Act, ISO 13485, MDR – what you need to consider when using AI. Including CSV requirements.
Your pace: You can watch the video lessons anytime – whenever and wherever it suits you. About 1 hour per week is enough to stay on track.
No problem – if you would like to make a booking, receive a customized quote, or have any questions about the program, simply use the contact form below.
You can keep standing on the platform. Keep watching others get on board. Keep hoping that the next train will move more slowly.
Or you can decide now. For 6 months that will turn you from an AI beginner into an internal expert. For a course based on fundamental concepts, not short-lived trends. For a program that exists with me only this once. For a connection no one can take away from you.
