AI certificate course for Swiss SMEs · Certificate + documentation folder per person

Your employees are using AI. Is the training documented?

In 2–3 hours, your team learns to use ChatGPT and similar tools safely — with a certificate and documentation folder for each person. When a major customer, an auditor or your executive board asks about AI, you put a training record on the table instead of improvising.

  • Art. 4 EU AI Act — applicable since 2.2.2025
  • Supports your revDSG due diligence

Using AI Safely at Work

Training documentation aligned with Art. 4

Certificate with QR code and public verification

AI is in use. The proof often isn't.

Once employees are using AI tools, the follow-up question is inevitable: is the training documented? With Linup, you close this training and documentation gap in a targeted way — in 2–3 hours per person.

When someone asks

A major customer, an auditor or the executive board wants to know how your team was trained in using AI. Without structured proof, the hunt through emails and individual answers begins — with Linup, you simply open the documentation folder.

Everyday practice, no record

Polishing texts, translating quotes, gathering ideas: AI has become part of everyday work — often without training or documentation. This gap between practice and verifiable training stays open until it is properly closed.

How little it takes

Set up in 10 minutes, 2–3 hours per person, from CHF 85. The result: a documented training status with a certificate and documentation folder.

Why this course? So that good intentions don't turn into mistakes.

No one on your team wants to put data at risk — and yet that is exactly how most AI mistakes happen: well intentioned, in under a minute, without anyone noticing. Two to three hours of training are enough for everyone to know what belongs in an AI tool and what doesn't. This is not technical upskilling — it is everyday due care.

Plain language

Prevent well-intentioned mistakes.

An employee copies a customer letter into a free chatbot to polish the wording — and the customer's data now sits on a third-party server. Situations like this arise from helpfulness, not carelessness. After the course, everyone recognises that moment before they click.

  • Customer letter into a free chatbot
  • From helpfulness, not carelessness
  • Before they click
Data protection

Protect data — your customers' and your employees'.

Client files, payroll data, job applications: much of everyday office work is confidential, even when it looks unremarkable. Using concrete examples, the course shows which information never belongs in open AI tools — and how to use AI productively anyway.

  • Client files, payroll data, job applications
  • Never belong in open AI tools
  • Still use AI productively
Clarity

Clarity for everyone, instead of silent sprawl.

Without shared rules, everyone uses AI by gut feeling — some too boldly, others not at all. Once everyone has taken the same course, the same ground rules apply, and nobody has to guess or experiment in secret.

  • Everyone using AI by gut feeling
  • The same ground rules
  • No guessing or secret experimenting

How it works

You start the process once. After that, invitations, course, quiz, certificates and documentation folders follow in good order.

1

Choose a package (5 minutes)

You select the number of employees and pay by card or invoice. No sales call, no quote needed.

2

Invite your team (5 minutes)

Enter email addresses or paste a list — each person receives their own personal access.

3

Completion reported (automatic)

Employees complete the course whenever it suits them. You track progress in the dashboard and export the finished overview — for senior management, for example.

What does the certificate do for you? Six moments when it pays off.

A certificate is of no use in a drawer — it is useful in the moment someone asks. Here are six such moments from your everyday business, and how they play out with the Linup KI-Pass (AI Pass).

Ready to answer in two minutes

An important customer asks: “How exactly do you handle AI and our data?” — and the office goes quiet for a moment. With the certificate, you answer in two minutes: team trained, usage governed, documentation folder attached.

A building block for the EU AI Act

Your most important buyer is based in Munich, and in the next meeting the phrase “AI literacy” comes up — Article 4 of the EU AI Act expects exactly that from employees. The certificate provides an honest building block: it documents who was trained, when, and in what — as a documentation aid, not a legal guarantee.

Data protection due care in black and white

A customer wants to know how her data is protected when your team works with AI tools — after all, careful handling of personal data is the core of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revDSG/nFADP). You don't have to give assurances; you can show: every person was trained in exactly that, recorded with date, content and result.

Ready for tenders and questionnaires

A major customer's supplier questionnaire asks: “Do you train your employees in handling AI and data?” You tick Yes and attach the training record for each person — one tick, one attachment, done.

A credential that belongs to the person

Your clerk updates her CV and adds the certificate — with a QR code anyone can verify publicly. Training that benefits employees personally is taken more seriously — and sticks better.

One agenda item fewer

For months, “sort out AI” has been sitting on the management's to-do list — important, but never urgent enough. With the course, the topic is in order: everyone trained, everything documented, the current status visible in the dashboard at any time.

Linup is a private training provider. The certificate is proof of training, not an official or accredited certification — and it does not replace legal advice.

revDSG and EU AI Act — what they are really about, in plain terms

Behind the unwieldy names are two simple ideas: people's data should be protected, and AI should be used in a way that can be trusted. Both involve less bureaucracy than they sound — and both start with employees knowing what they are doing. Here is the short version, without legalese. (Orientation, not legal advice.)

Switzerland · since 2023

What does the revDSG want?

The revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revDSG/nFADP, in force since September 2023) has a single goal: protecting people's data — your customers', your employees', your job applicants'. It applies to every company in Switzerland, regardless of size or industry, because practically every company works with personal data: addresses, contracts, payslips, emails.

  • Know which personal data you hold and what it is used for — and be able to stand by it when someone asks.
  • Protect data appropriately: who has access, where it flows, which tools are in use — AI tools included.
  • Inform employees so they can make the right call in everyday situations — for example, not entering customer data into open AI tools.
More about the revDSG

The basic idea is simple: whoever holds people's data handles it with care — knowing which data is used for what, protecting it appropriately and not passing it on thoughtlessly. This is exactly where AI comes in: anyone who enters personal data into an open AI tool gives it away.

EU · since 2024

What does the EU AI Act want?

The EU AI Act is the European Union's AI law (entering into force in stages since 2024). Its goal: AI should be used — but safely, transparently and by people who understand what they are operating.

  • If your company has customers or partners in the EU, or AI output is used there, parts of the regulation may affect you too.
  • Employees who work with AI tools should have a basic understanding of what these tools can do — and what they can't.
  • Record who was trained, when and in what: structured documentation is the simplest way to demonstrate this diligence.
More about the EU AI Act

The riskier an AI application, the stricter the rules; for ordinary office work, one point matters most: Article 4 requires companies to ensure sufficient “AI literacy” among their employees — they should know what the tools in use can do, where their limits lie and what to watch out for. For Swiss companies, this becomes relevant as soon as there is an EU connection, such as customers in the EU. And regardless of any obligation: what the AI Act asks for is simply sensible — enable people before you hand them tools.

Why this is worth it for every company — even leaving the law aside

  • Trust you can see: customers prefer to give their data to a company that visibly handles it with care. Data protection is not a cost item but a mark of quality — like clean bookkeeping.
  • Fewer mistakes, more calm: when everyone knows the same ground rules, the typical everyday mistakes don't happen — and you don't have to hope that nothing goes wrong.
  • Look good when someone asks: whether it's a customer, an industry association or the executive board — those who have trained and documented answer in two minutes rather than with a red face.

The easiest way to start: first look, then train. Start with the free AI Risk Check — 16 questions, about three minutes, an instant traffic-light result. You will then know where your business stands. The second step is the basic training: the Linup KI-Pass, 2–3 hours per person, with an automatic documentation folder.

Why the documentation folder is the real value

For each person, the documentation folder records course content, completion date, quiz result, certificate ID and QR verification — exactly what you want to show when someone asks.

Curriculum

Modules, lessons and duration are recorded for each person.

Quiz result

The folder contains the completion date, the passing final result and the certificate ID.

Role context

The documentation shows for which person and which work context the record was created.

Verification

Every certificate can be verified publicly using its verification code.

Timestamps

Issue date, course status and later refreshers are recorded in a traceable way.

Export

Companies can view the status of their employees at a glance in the dashboard.

The most common questions — answered honestly

«How much work is this for me?»

About ten minutes: buy a package, enter email addresses, done. Invitations, reminders, certificates and documentation run automatically. There is nothing to install and nothing to maintain.

«Is this sufficient evidence for the EU AI Act?»

Honest answer: Article 4 of the AI Act requires “AI literacy” among employees, but it does not define any specific training as officially sufficient — no provider can credibly promise that today. The Linup KI-Pass delivers structured training documentation oriented towards Article 4: who was trained, when, in what, and with what result. It is a documentation aid, not legal advice.

«What if someone doesn't pass the test?»

Then that person simply retakes the quiz — as often as needed, at no extra cost. Nobody sees failed quiz attempts — not even your employer. The course is built so that anyone can pass without prior knowledge. It is about understanding, not weeding people out.

«Our people aren't technical.»

That is exactly who the course is made for. No jargon without explanation, examples from ordinary office life. The website is available in German, French, Italian, English and Ukrainian — the course itself is currently available in German. Anyone who can write emails can complete this course.

«What if we're not convinced?»

14-day money-back guarantee, no reasons required. A short email is all it takes. Details below in the guarantee section.
