Training overview
Training programs
Saying that "even within the same AI training, sales and accounting need to learn different things," the provider publishes 16 plans in four categories. Every plan consists of three sessions totaling 10 hours, and the job-role plans have participants build two business tools.
01By job role (8 plans)
Participants build two business tools using material directly tied to their work.
- Sales and planning plan — Proposal materials and external documents. Builds a document creation tool and a standard form generation tool
- Office and back office / Accounting and labor plans — Document checks, spreadsheets, reconciliation and checks, standard documents and internal inquiry responses
- Field and technical plan — Minutes and explanatory materials, reading images and handwritten documents
- Marketing and PR / Customer support / Data and reporting / HR and recruiting plans — Articles, social media and promotional materials; reply templates and FAQs; monthly aggregation and reports; job postings and interview records
02By tool (4 plans)
Plans to fix situations where AI tools the company already pays for go unused.
- ChatGPT plan — Projects, file reading, data analysis
- Gemini plan — Integration with Google Docs, Sheets and Gmail
- Claude plan — Projects, long-text processing, file creation
- Claude Code plan — Non-engineers handle file operations and automation and build their own business tools
03By position (3 plans) and beginner (1 plan)
For people who spread AI use to teams and the whole company, and for those using AI for the first time.
- Management plan — Shortening meetings and reports, planning team-wide adoption
- Internal promotion plan — Running internal study sessions and embedding AI company-wide
- Executive plan — Setting the company's AI policy and planning company-wide rollout
- AI beginner plan — For inexperienced staff in any role, from first operations to daily use
The official training flow is Day 0: preliminary hearing (online), Day 1: basic operations and exercises (in person, 3 hours), Day 2: applied and practical exercises (in person, 3 hours), and Day 3: follow-up (online, 4 hours). However, the plan-specific curricula list the third session as "in person, 4 hours," so the format should be confirmed when applying.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Unit | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI活用研修 (all plans) | 176,000 yen (incl. tax) | Per person | Preliminary hearing, three sessions totaling 10 hours (including on-site instruction) |
| With subsidy (official estimate) | 44,000 yen (incl. tax) | Per person | Amount after deducting 122,000 yen expense subsidy + 10,000 yen wage subsidy (10 hours) |
Both are official figures as of October 2026. The June 18, 2026 press release gave the post-subsidy cost as 46,000 yen per person. The press release also states that fees for a labor and social security attorney to file the subsidy application are charged separately. The minimum number of participants and the areas covered by on-site visits are not stated.
Using subsidies
The official site says the Human Resources Development Support Subsidy can cover up to 75% of training costs (as of October 2026). It does not name the course, but the estimate includes a "wage subsidy of 10,000 yen for 10 hours" in addition to the expense subsidy.
- Check eligibility in a free consultation — A quick check covers conditions such as being an employment-insurance-covered workplace
- Application support from a partner attorney firm — The provider says its partner labor and social security attorney firm handles paperwork and Labor Bureau procedures
- Full payment of training costs is required — The terms of use state that the obligation to pay remains even if the subsidy is denied or reduced. Application work is contracted directly between the customer and the attorney; CrowdWorks does not file applications on the customer's behalf
Under the revision effective August 3, 2026, literacy-focused training such as learning how to write general-purpose prompts is no longer eligible under the Business Development Reskilling Support Course. Eligibility depends on the training content and the trainees' duties, so check with your local Labor Bureau before submitting the training plan.
Track record and reputation
The number of companies using the corporate training is not published. The press release says the parent consumer school "クラウドワークス アカデミー" has instructed more than 10,000 people in total. The official site publishes three case studies of the corporate training (as of October 2026).
01Time savings
Results shown in the case studies.
- 2 days → 30 minutes — あかちゃんとこどものクリニック (40–50 employees). Payroll reconciliation shortened by about 16 hours
- 2–3 weeks → about 1 week (expected) — Local Life Co., Ltd. (13 employees). Survey aggregation including free-text answers
02Broader use
A case of a company already using AI.
- Koto LLC — Learned where tools different from chat AI, such as Claude Code, fit, and clarified which tasks to give AI and which people should handle
"In online training, companies that don't yet know how to 'pitch' questions to AI get little out of it. In person, you can figure it out through back-and-forth with the instructor." — Local Life Co., Ltd. (from an official case study)
