Shallow tool usage
Most developers use AI for autocomplete. This program shows how to work with AI on complex, multi-file, and multi-step engineering tasks - the level where real productivity gains happen.

AI for Developers & Engineering Teams
Go beyond autocomplete. Master AI-assisted development, agentic coding, and enterprise-grade governance.
Most developers already use AI to write code. Few use it well. This 2-day intensive workshop focuses on what actually matters in a professional environment: effective tool mastery across GitHub Copilot, Microsoft Copilot, and Claude Code - combined with governance, security, and the agentic frameworks that let AI handle real multi-step engineering tasks.
Format
2-Day Intensive
AI for Developers | GitHub Copilot, Claude Code & AI Agents is a hands-on corporate AI training program for Swiss teams who need practical adoption, not theory-only slide decks. Facilitators work with your real tools, workflows, and governance constraints so participants leave with templates, prompts, and next steps they can use immediately.
2-day hands-on workshop for developers. Master GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and agentic AI frameworks. Learn code governance, security, compliance, and how to structure AI-assisted development at scale.
Sessions can be delivered on-site at your office, hybrid, or online for distributed teams across Switzerland. Programs are facilitator-led from start to finish — live exercises, team breakouts, and debriefs on your documents and systems. We cover responsible use, human review checkpoints, and Swiss data-protection expectations (FADP/nLPD) so pilots can scale with confidence.
Typical outcomes include a shared vocabulary for AI across the team, reusable prompt libraries, workflow maps showing where automation helps (and where it does not), and a prioritised list of pilots for the next 90 days. Leadership receives a concise adoption summary; practitioners receive tool-ready artefacts they can deploy on Monday.
AI Workshop Switzerland delivers in English, German, French, and Italian across Zurich, Geneva, Lausanne, Basel, Bern, and other Swiss locations. We work with HR, legal, finance, marketing, operations, and engineering teams — tailoring examples to your sector whether you are in regulated industries, professional services, or fast-growing scale-ups.
Before the workshop we align on audience maturity, approved tools, and sensitive data boundaries. After the session you receive slide summaries, exercise outputs, and optional follow-up coaching for AI champions. Many clients combine this program with our Agentic AI workshop or executive coaching for sponsors who own the rollout.

01
Who is this program for?
- Software engineers and developers using or planning to use AI coding tools
- Engineering leads responsible for AI tool adoption and team standards
- IT and DevSecOps teams managing governance of AI-generated code
- Technical architects evaluating agentic AI for development workflows
- Teams using GitHub, Azure DevOps, or Microsoft 365 environments
02
What this program addresses
Security and compliance gaps
AI-generated code introduces real risks: hallucinated libraries, leaked credentials, license issues, and policy violations. We cover how to catch, prevent, and govern these at scale.
No standard for AI use across the team
Individual experimentation produces inconsistent results. We help teams define shared standards, review processes, and prompting conventions that work across the whole engineering org.
Agentic AI still feels out of reach
Autonomous agents that handle full task chains - from spec to PR - are here now. This program gives developers hands-on experience building and governing real agentic workflows.
03
What makes this program different
This isn't an intro course. Participants already write code and use AI tools. The focus is on mastery, governance, and the agentic layer - taught by practitioners who build with these tools every day, not trainers working from slides.
What your team takes away:
- Prompt library for coding workflows (Copilot-first + Claude Code variants)
- AI code governance framework (review checklist, security guardrails)
- Agentic workflow templates for common engineering tasks
- Team adoption playbook with role-based guidelines
- 30-day implementation roadmap

Program overview (2-day remote workshop)
Group size: 8–15 participants Format: live remote sessions, hands-on exercises on real codebases Tools: GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Microsoft Copilot, VS Code Pre-work: optional IT context audit to confirm environment compatibility
Day 1 - Module 1: AI Tool Mastery (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Microsoft Copilot)
- • How each tool differs and when to use which
- • Context injection, multi-file awareness, and working with large codebases
- • Advanced prompting patterns for code generation, refactoring, and debugging
- • Claude Code for longer reasoning chains and complex tasks
Outcome: Developers can use all three tools effectively for real engineering work - not just line completions.
Day 1 - Module 2: Security, Compliance & Code Governance
- • Common risks: hallucinated dependencies, credential exposure, GPL-tainted code
- • Internal policy alignment: what AI can and cannot touch in your environment
- • Code review workflows adapted for AI-assisted development
- • Practical red/amber/green guardrails for the team
Outcome: A shared governance standard your team can adopt from day one.
Day 2 - Module 3: Agentic AI for Developers
- • What agentic frameworks are and how they work (Copilot Workspace, Claude Agents, custom agents)
- • Task decomposition: breaking engineering tasks into agent-executable steps
- • Hands-on: building a simple agentic workflow for a real use case
- • Limitations, failure modes, and when not to use agents
Outcome: Participants can design and run basic agentic workflows for engineering tasks.
Day 2 - Module 4: Team Standards & Structuring AI Use at Scale
- • Defining AI usage tiers across your org (who uses what, and how)
- • Prompt libraries and shared conventions for consistency
- • Measuring the impact of AI tool adoption
- • Onboarding new developers into an AI-enabled workflow
Outcome: A team-level structure for sustainable, governed AI-assisted development.
05
Optional add-ons
Business & Internal Teams Track (Half-day)
- • Basic to advanced prompting with ChatGPT Enterprise
- • Deep Research, web search, and specialised modes
- • Use-case mapping for non-technical roles
- • Session designed for groups of ~10
AI Champions Program
- • 2–3 internal champions trained to run agentic AI independently
- • Champion playbook and internal enablement kit
- • Ongoing support to sustain adoption after the workshop
06
What we practise together
- Refactor a legacy function using Copilot with a defined style guide
- Generate a test suite from a spec with Claude Code
- Audit AI-generated code for security issues and dependency risks
- Run an agentic task from ticket to pull request
- Build a shared prompt library for a specific engineering workflow
- Define team guardrails for AI tool use in production code
07
What your team will achieve
- Faster development cycles with AI used at the right depth, not just for autocomplete
- A shared governance standard that reduces security and compliance risk
- Real experience with agentic workflows - not just theory
- Internal champions who can sustain and grow AI adoption after the workshop
- A clear team policy: what AI can touch, how it's reviewed, and who is responsible

Frequently Asked Questions
GitHub Copilot vs. Claude Code vs. Cursor: which do you teach?
We cover the ecosystem as a whole. We focus on mastery of the tool your company uses while demonstrating the unique advantages of reasoning models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet for coding.
How do we handle security and IP when generating code with AI?
We teach 'Secure-by-Design' AI coding, covering context filtering, VPC-only environments, and how to prevent secret leaks or GPL-tainted code from entering your repo.
Does this workshop cover AI agents and agentic frameworks?
Yes. Day 2 is focused on the move from 'autocomplete' to 'agentic.' We show how to build and govern agents that handle multi-step tasks from Jira to PR.
Do participants need to be senior developers?
No. The program is valuable for junior to senior levels. We focus on engineering patterns and the new 'architectural' way of thinking required for AI-assisted development.
Is this delivered on-site or remotely for engineering teams?
Both. While remote works well for distributed engineering teams, we offer on-site 2-day Intensives in France for high-bandwidth collaborative learning.
