// Academy White-Label
Your own AI academy
on your servers.
A finished learning platform for your company: courses, exam and certificate, in your brand. From employee training to AI upskilling, hosted in Germany or directly at your site. Your data stays out of US clouds, and GDPR compliance is built in. The platform is already running in production.
// Comparison

vs. your own academy.

Your white-label academy
// Why this academy
Why an academy
of your own makes sense.
Customizable modules
You pick the modules that fit. If a topic for your field is missing, we build it on request.
Funding and audit ready
AI upskilling is publicly subsidised in Germany. We prepare content and records so they fit your funding and compliance processes.
Your own platform, fixed terms
You run the academy in your brand on German servers or on-premises. There is no US cloud and no per-head price that grows with the team.
Reliable proof
Exam, certificate with a unique ID and reporting together form a competence record that holds up for Art. 4.
// The platform
A platform we use
in our own work.
We built this learning platform ourselves and run it every day. You get it in your brand, with everything an academy needs in daily use.
Courses and lessons
Text, audio, quizzes and flashcards with spaced repetition. Content is stored as data, so it is swappable and expandable.
Exam and certificate
Final exam with a time limit and pass mark. Those who pass receive a verifiable PDF certificate with a unique ID as proof for HR and audit.
Teams and roles
Learner, editor and admin roles. A voucher system activates whole workforces through a company admin dashboard.
Reporting and tracking
Who completed which course and when? Progress per person, CSV export. This is how you document the AI literacy duty.
AI simulator
Interactive role-play with an EU-hosted language model (Mistral), including evaluation. Staff practise realistic conversations. The simulator is optional.
GDPR by design
Audit log, data export under Art. 15 and 20, soft delete, signed sessions, 2FA for admins. Privacy is part of the architecture from the start.
// In production
The platform already runs today: for a healthcare client with exam and B2B vouchers, and for our own academy at ai-pirates.academy.
// Hosting models
You decide
where your data lives.
Two paths, both without US cloud and both GDPR-compliant. Choose by your privacy and IT needs.

// Compliance
GDPR by design
and Art. 4 proof.
Data sovereignty
Your data stays in Germany, on our managed server or at your site. No US transfer without a legal basis.
Transparency

// AI upskilling in Germany
Required by law
and publicly funded.
Two developments meet right now. Since February 2025, Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires staff to have sufficient AI competence. From August 2026 the market surveillance authorities monitor this actively. At the same time, the German state subsidises digital training through several programmes. For companies that use AI, training is now mandatory, and funding programmes can reduce the cost.
This is where your own academy comes in. Off-the-shelf courses rarely fit your team, your tools and your industry exactly. Our platform is therefore modular. You combine ready-made modules such as prompting, AI video, GEO, Art. 4 and Art. 50 or AI in controlling, and on request we build your own modules for your field. A generic employee training becomes a course that fits you and that you document for the Art. 4 proof.
Running your own academy as a training platform for the company covers more than AI. Onboarding, mandatory training, product and customer training run through the same learning platform, in your brand and on your servers.
Qualifizierungschancengesetz
Under § 82 SGB III the employment agency covers part of the course cost for employees, staggered by company size from 25 up to 100 percent, plus a wage subsidy. Digital change and AI explicitly count.
Qualifizierungsgeld
For companies in structural change, the federal agency pays 60 percent of net pay, 67 with a child, while staff are requalified and stay with the company.
Educational leave
In most German federal states employees are entitled to several days of paid educational leave per year. Course content can be aligned to it.
Whether a specific measure is eligible for funding depends on provider accreditation (AZAV) and the decision of the employment agency. We support with structure and record documentation. The funding decision is made by the authority. AI Pirates does not provide legal or funding advice.

// FAQ
What companies
ask first.
What does a learning platform for companies cost?
The price depends on the hosting model, the number of users and the content scope. There is a one-time setup for branding and deployment and running costs for managed hosting or an on-prem license. Unlike standard SaaS, you do not pay a rising per-seat price. In an intro call we clarify scope and budget with no strings attached.
Is the training platform GDPR-compliant?
Yes. You choose between hosting on German servers under our managed operation or on-premises in your own infrastructure. Either way, no US cloud, with a data processing agreement, audit log and data export under Art. 15 and 20.
When does the AI literacy duty apply?
Article 4 EU AI Act applies since February 2025 and requires every company that uses AI to ensure sufficient AI competence among staff. From August 2026 the market surveillance authorities monitor compliance. An exam plus certificate from our academy document that proof. More on the literacy duty.
Can we load our own courses and customize the platform?
Yes. The modules can be adapted. You combine ready-made courses, and on request we develop courses for your field. Logo, colours, domain and copy follow your corporate identity, so to your employees it is your academy.
Is this a finished product or just a concept?
It is a finished product running on production code. The platform already runs in production, including for a healthcare client with final exam, certificates and a B2B voucher system, and powers our own academy at ai-pirates.academy.
Can the training be publicly funded?
In Germany, AI upskilling is subsidised through the Qualifizierungschancengesetz and Qualifizierungsgeld. Whether a specific measure is eligible is decided by the employment agency and depends on provider accreditation. We prepare content and records so they fit your funding processes. AI Pirates does not provide legal or funding advice.
