Qwalio launches AI professional training academy in Leverkusen

Qwalio, a new educational provider based in Leverkusen-Wiesdorf, has launched to offer professional training in artificial intelligence. Founded on September 16, 2026, by Cihan Yildirim, Tunahan Cindoruk, and Yasin Hasan Yesilyurt, the academy aims to qualify employees and job seekers for the evolving labor market.

The academy offers three specific training programs: a 20-week part-time course for AI officers, a six-month full-time specialist program, and a nine-month AI manager course that includes a practical phase. Instruction is conducted live in virtual classrooms with small groups of no more than twelve participants to ensure personalized learning.

All three founders bring corporate management experience to the academy and will serve as instructors. The company has applied for accreditation under the Accreditation and Approval Regulation for Employment Promotion (AZAV), which would make the courses eligible for funding through the Federal Employment Agency and job centers. The first courses are expected to begin on December 1, 2026.
