A fresh wave of professional development opportunities is opening up this summer for German workers looking to merge artificial intelligence expertise with agile management credentials. The education firm alfatraining has unveiled a multi-track program that pairs AI transformation strategy with Scrum product ownership, with the first cohort kicking off on August 3, 2026.
That initial start date anchors a series of rolling enrollment windows stretching through the autumn — additional sessions begin August 31, September 21, September 28, and October 19, 2026.
Eight-Week Intensive Blends EU AI Act Training with Scrum Certification
The flagship offering, a full-time course running eight weeks, prepares participants to lead AI implementation efforts inside organizations. Beyond core strategy development and use-case selection, the syllabus covers the regulatory landscape, including the EU AI Act, which sets harmonized rules for artificial intelligence deployment across member states.
What sets this track apart is its dual certification pathway. Graduates
Navigating new regulatory landscapes is part of any leadership role — and the same applies to workplace safety, where compliance duties are tightening. A free toolkit with 41 ready-to-use templates and checklists helps you document risks properly and stay on the right side of the law. Download the free Risk Assessment Toolkit
Scrum Specializations Expand in Parallel
The same August 3 launch date brings a suite of additional agile-focused offerings. A four-week full-time Scrum Master program leads to PSM I certification, while an advanced track targeting PSM II runs the same duration. That second tier assumes applicants already hold PSM I-level knowledge and have accumulated at least one year of professional experience.
Combined formats are also on the table. An eight-week course merging Scrum Product Owner training with product management duties ends with both the TÜV exam and PSPO I certificate. For those eyeing leadership roles, the portfolio includes “Digital Leadership mit Scrum Master (PSM II)” and a nine-week “Agile Project Leadership” program that bundles certifications in agile leadership, digital leadership, and conflict management.
Framework Combinations and Software Development Tracks
A notable trend in this enrollment cycle is the cross-pollination of management methodologies. Starting August 3, alfatraining offers a ten-week course that stacks Scrum Product Owner training with ITIL Foundation and PRINCE2 certifications. A companion eight-week format prepares candidates for the PSM I exam while also covering ITIL Foundation Version 5 and PRINCE2 Project Management Foundation Version 7 — with exam vouchers folded into the package price.
Software developers get their own dedicated pathway: an eight-week full-time course for requirements managers paired with Scrum Master (PSM II) training. Prerequisites include foundational software development knowledge and solid English skills. Successful completion yields credentials from both IREB Foundation Level and Scrum.org.
Managing complex projects also means managing the risks that come with them. Over 37,000 UK businesses use a free, professionally designed toolkit to keep their risk assessments current and compliant. Get the free Health & Safety Toolkit
