What your company gets

Many workplace tasks do not fit into a single seminar day, yet they rarely top the rota. The self-study library splits each topic into short modules. The modules combine workplace pedagogy and work psychology with practice cases and worksheets; legal requirements are presented as they are worded in the law.

Short modules instead of heavy books

Each module is self-contained. Staff decide when and how fast they progress.

Worksheets for the workplace

Every module comes with a PDF worksheet, such as a checklist or a conversation guide. It is a suggestion and a basis for discussion, not a rule.

Referenced and clear

Statements rest on openly accessible sources such as statutes and official statistics. Technical terms are explained when they first appear.

Nine self-study courses in four topic areas

Each course has ten modules, original illustrations and PDF worksheets. The courses are self-study only: there is no individual support from us and no evaluation of what you enter. The self-reflection at the end of a module is voluntary. The courses are written for German workplaces and German law. The course titles are given in English here; the courses themselves are in German.

A look inside the modules

Every module uses original illustrations, diagrams and a fictional practice case. Two example scenes from the courses:

Illustration: The outage is reportedSchematic scene in a service office on Monday morning. Two people stand behind the counter. The one on the left points at a screen with a yellow warning triangle, the one on the right listens with a notepad. A wall display reads Booking system down. The counter carries the labels Counter 2 and Manager. No real people are shown.Booking systemdownCounter 2Manager
Illustration: the outage is reported to the manager (from the course on de-escalation at the counter and reception). Own illustration (AI-assisted). The scene is fictional; the figures are not real people.
Illustration: Guiding a task at the workbenchSchematic scene in a joinery workshop. Two people wearing safety goggles stand at a workbench. On the left, the person guiding the task shows how a hand plane is moved over a clamped board. On the right, the learner holds a practice piece and watches. A blue mandatory-sign on the wall shows safety goggles and the words Wear goggles. The bench carries the labels Show and explain and Practise yourself. No real people are shown.WeargogglesShow, explainPractise
Illustration: guiding a task at the workbench (from the course on guiding and instructing). Own illustration (AI-assisted). The scene is fictional; the figures are not real people.
