Your participants can start a scenario directly on their smartphone, tablet, or laptop—whether at home, during in-person sessions, or while self-studying. They engage with an AI character that simulates a conflict partner, employee, customer, or conversation partner. The conversation unfolds like a real-life dialogue lasting 10-15 minutes. The AI responds with emotional authenticity to the conversation approach: it opens up with empathy and professional techniques, while becoming defensive or closed off with unprofessional behavior. After the training, participants receive detailed feedback based on established frameworks (Harvard Concept, SBI Model, GROW Model) along with specific suggestions for improvement. This is available 24/7—between in-person sessions, as homework, or for exam preparation—flexibly integrated into your existing course structure.

Training providers face three key challenges: role players are expensive and not scalable, participants are hesitant to practice in front of a group, and practical exercise time is limited. AI role-playing addresses all three issues simultaneously. First: No more need for role players. A professional role player costs between €800 and €1,200 per day. With four courses per year, that amounts to €3,200 to €4,800 annually—just for one person. With AI role-playing, you make a one-time payment and can train an unlimited number of participants. Second: A safe practice environment. Many participants feel inhibited about making mistakes in front of the entire group. With AI, they can practice privately, make mistakes without embarrassment, and repeat until they feel confident. This significantly increases the intensity of practice. Third: Unlimited repetitions. In traditional role-playing, each participant only gets to practice 1-2 times, which is insufficient for effective learning. With AI, your participants can practice 5, 10, or even 20 times until they master the technique. The learning outcomes are demonstrably better. Additionally, you ensure consistent quality across all courses and instructors—your course in Frankfurt adheres to the same standards as those in Munich or Hamburg.

AI role-playing games are effective for all training programs that require the development of conversational skills. Specific examples include: Mediation & Conflict Resolution (IHK Business Mediator, Family Mediator, Conflict Management Certificates), Leadership & Management (IHK Personnel Specialist, Certified Manager, Leadership Certificates, Master Programs include leadership modules!), HR & Talent Development (HR Business Partner, Talent Management, Recruiting Certificates), Consulting & Coaching (Systemic Coach, Business Coach, Career Advisor), Sales & Distribution (Certified Sales Professional, Key Account Manager, Sales Manager), Care & Health (Care Leadership, Unit and Area Management, De-escalation Training), Service & Customer Support (Complaint Management, Customer Service, Hospitality Management). If your program includes a module such as 'Practical Exercises,' 'Role-Playing,' or 'Conversational Training' – then our solution will work for you.

Yes, you can represent your specific training situations as custom scenarios. Do you have particular cases from your courses that need to be practiced repeatedly? Specific industry contexts? Custom evaluation frameworks or quality standards? We can create trainable scenarios from these. You can also upload your training materials, case studies, discussion guides, and evaluation criteria. The AI will then train according to your course standards and educational concepts. This works for all educational sectors: IHK courses, private academies, corporate academies, professional associations, or university certificates. For example, a mediation course provided us with their 'environmental conflict' case. We developed an AI role-play from this, allowing participants to practice as often as they like—with automatic evaluation based on the Harvard concept.

Our analytics dashboard provides you with specific metrics across all courses. Which participants demonstrate mastery of practical skills? Where are the skill gaps in certain types of conversations? Which cohorts require more practice time? You can view completion rates per scenario, average performance scores based on your evaluation criteria, and development trends over time. This is ideal for quality management, accreditations, and demonstrating the achievement of learning objectives. Additionally, you can correlate training success with exam results: Do participants who practiced intensively with AI role-plays perform better on the final exam? Are there fewer repeaters? Is there higher satisfaction with the course? These are the metrics that truly matter for course management, quality assurance, and sponsorship: learner success, pass rates, participant satisfaction, and cost efficiency.

Integration can be completed in just a few days. You invite your participants into the system, assign relevant scenarios, and define your evaluation criteria. Participants can start their first training session immediately—no months of planning, no booking of role players, and no scheduling coordination required. For new courses, this means participants begin practical training in the first week, rather than just before the exam. Transitioning from theory to practice happens without delay. The integration into existing course structures is flexible: it can serve as homework between in-person sessions, as a self-study phase in a blended learning concept, or as exam preparation. Your instructors can monitor training progress and build on it during in-person sessions.

Absolutely. Careertrainer.ai scales from 1 participant to 10,000 participants simultaneously. Do you have a small course with just 8 participants? Perfect, you'll only pay for those 8. The advantage: even smaller educational providers can benefit from professional practice digitization, which was previously reserved for large academies with substantial budgets. The technology remains the same, whether you run 1 course per year or 50 courses concurrently. For regional chambers of commerce, professional associations, private academies, or specialized trainers, this is a game-changer: you can now offer practice training at the level of large corporate academies—without their infrastructure and budget.

We offer flexible licensing models for educational institutions: you can bill per participant (ideal for variable class sizes) or book flat-rate licenses for a specific number of participants per year. Pricing is based on the number of participants and the desired feature set. For standard scenarios (leadership, conflict resolution, coaching), getting started is particularly easy – these are available immediately. If you require custom scenarios tailored to your specific course content, we will develop these in collaboration with you. The process includes: initial consultation (we understand your course requirements), proposal (transparent based on participant count and service scope), onboarding (setup and training for your team), and go-live (your participants begin their training). Contact us for a no-obligation initial consultation and a personalized offer.

Three key differences. First: Audio conversations instead of multiple choice. Your participants engage with the AI as they would in real-life scenarios—no ticking boxes or text chats. The training feels like a genuine conversation with a person. Second: Emotional authenticity. Our AI characters are based on psychological personality models (MBTI) and respond with realistic emotions. If your participant acts unprofessionally, the AI becomes defensive. If they approach the situation with empathy and structure, the AI opens up. This is not a generic chatbot response, but a realistic human reaction. Third: Framework-based feedback. Instead of vague assessments, the AI provides structured feedback based on established methods: Harvard Concept, SBI Model, GROW Model, or your own evaluation criteria. Participants clearly see which techniques they have mastered and where they need improvement—along with specific actionable recommendations.

The technical requirements are minimal. Your participants only need: an internet-enabled device (smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop PC), a modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge), and a microphone and speakers or headset for audio calls. That's it—no app installation required, no complex IT integration necessary. For educational institutions, there is an admin dashboard for management: invite and manage participants, assign scenarios, track learning progress, and export reports. Optional: SSO integration is available for larger organizations but not required. The platform works on all devices and is ready to use immediately.
