Almost all surveyed educators (97.9 percent) see it as the school’s task to impart AI skills to students. This also results in the educators’ expectation for the development of their own AI skills, which 99.5 percent of the respondents consider important. After the training, 85.5 percent of the participants feel well prepared to integrate AI technologies into their own teaching, compared to only 25.8 percent before. The significant increase (59.7 percent) suggests that the training has substantially contributed to strengthening the educators’ confidence in their own abilities and to reducing existing reservations.
“It is encouraging to see that our training not only has a positive impact on educators but also stands out for its scalability. This allows us to reach a large number of educators and sustainably promote AI skills,” explains Dr. Diana Knodel, CEO of fobizz.

The results of the study were presented at a press conference, attended by Dominik Scheider, a former participant of the certification training. Dominik Scheider is an educator and coordinator for digital teaching development at the German School Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and shared his personal experiences from participating in the certification training. While AI tools were new to him before participating, they are now almost a daily part of his lesson preparation.
