A structured 6-month course with more than 50 lessons, 3 live sessions with Prof. Dr. Christian Johner, and an exclusive community. Specifically developed for the medical device and IVD industry.
Learn at your own pace — with a didactic concept that guides you step by step toward AI competence. Whether you work at a startup or a corporation, whether you are a beginner or more advanced: this course puts you on the right side of the AI revolution.
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 another one?
Or maybe you have already experimented. You tried ChatGPT. Wrote a few prompts. But somehow... the breakthrough still has not happened. The results are okay, but not convincing. You know there is more potential — but not how to unlock it.
The uncomfortable truth: Burying your head in the sand is not a strategy. The AI colleague is coming — whether you like 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 designed 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 could work 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 needed. And no fear that what you learn will be outdated in a year — because you will learn fundamental concepts with long-term value. Not today’s hype, but tomorrow’s foundation.
That is exactly why I created "Catch the Train".
Catch the Train is my 6-month course for anyone who finally wants to understand and apply AI — without prior knowledge, at their own pace, and with real guidance. Specifically for medical device and IVD professionals. Whether you work at a startup or a large corporation: the content can be applied directly.
Not 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. Each lesson builds on the previous one. You are guided — step by step, from the basics 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 relearning.
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 are valid today and will still be valid in 5 years.
A completely new course on our e-learning platform. Every lesson includes practical exercises you can apply directly in your daily work.
The four pillars:
Three times during the program, we meet 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 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 receive access to the complete Johner Academy — including courses on LLMs, the AI Act, and more. At the end, there is an exam and certificate: "Certified MedTech AI Practitioner (Johner Institute)".
The promise: After 6 months, you can delegate the repetitive work. You will have a reliable tool that you know how to use. 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 assessments. More than 20,000 professionals have attended my seminars. I was voted the best professor in Germany.
But that is not the reason why I created this program.
I created it because I see how many smart people feel left behind. People who believe AI is only for technical experts. People who are afraid of JSON and prompts. People who do not know where to start.
I know that 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 have success experiences. I want you to lose the fear. I want you to be able to join the conversation again. And I want you to secure your job — through competence, not through 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 try something’). Great guidance on ‘good’ prompting, also through the exercises.”
“Seeing the amazing possibilities already opened up by today’s AI systems (if you know how to use them). I had completely underestimated the possibilities. So truly excellent.”
“The seminar is a very good overview and, in many cases, also a deeper insight into the approach and methodology of how AI can — and must — help in everyday work and the company as a whole.”
“Mr. Johner responded to every request, and you can tell how passionate he is about the topic :) The practice 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. From 2027 onward, 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 repetitive tasks. Gain time for strategic work. 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 need an individual quote, would like to order the program, or still have questions about it, simply use the contact form below.
You can keep standing on the platform. Keep watching others get on. Keep hoping the next train will be slower.
Or you decide now. For 6 months that will take you from AI beginner to internal expert. For a course based on fundamental concepts, not short-lived trends. For a program that is only available once with me. For a connection no one can take away from you.
