Who is AI Heroes for?

AI Heroes is a free, nationwide AI training program in Poland, created by CloudTeam in collaboration with Microsoft Poland, with Lenovo as its technology partner. It was open to everyone: professionals, students, teachers, people working in the public sector and anyone who wants to use AI thoughtfully. All sessions and materials were in Polish.

No prerequisites. No fees. Just practical skills that participants applied at work the very same day.

What did participants get out of it?

We didn’t teach product theory. We showed how to put these tools to work in real-world scenarios. Every session and every quiz was built around a real use case.

  • Practical scenarios instead of theory, from help with everyday office work to deploying AI agents.
  • An eIDAS-sealed certificate, compliant with the Europass and EDC standards.

— In the press

“Know AI inside out — comprehensively, professionally and for free.”

A review of AI Heroes published by Spider’s Web, an independent technology site read by Poland’s IT industry.

Spider’s Web · May 28, 2025

“AI Heroes is something I’d been eagerly waiting for myself and something the industry still has far too little of.”

AI Heroes is for people who want to expand their artificial intelligence skills, whatever their industry, from IT and business to the public sector. And all without breaking the bank.

The initiative is built on online training, so you can learn at a time that suits you. The program is designed to work both for people who already have some technical grounding and for those just getting started with AI.

Five learning tracks cover generative AI and Microsoft Copilot, deploying AI on Azure and GitHub Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot in everyday work, AI security, and AI in public administration. The training is delivered by Microsoft Certified Trainers (MCTs) with more than 20 years of experience.

“The course’s modular structure lets you tailor the scope of the training to your individual needs. After completing a chosen track, participants receive a badge on the Microsoft Learn platform.”

The program is completely free, and its flexible format makes it accessible to people from all kinds of backgrounds. The only cost is your time, and it looks like that time won’t be wasted.
