What you'll learn
This course guides you how to use generative AI confidently, safely and effectively in everyday work, whatever your role.
It focuses on real tools, real tasks, and real outputs. It is practical, hands-on and designed for immediate application at work.
By the end of the course, you will:
- Know which AI tools to use at work and how to use them properly
- Get consistent results from AI instead of hit-and-miss outputs
- Partner with AI to ideate, research, analyse and deliver work more effectively
- Save time by reducing repetition and manual effort
- Use AI confidently without creating data, privacy, or quality risks
You will move from beginner or cautious user to confident, capable AI practitioner, without jargon, hype, or technical complexity.
Course Structure
Each session builds on the last, moving from safe setup to applied skills, to real-world use and consolidation.
Week 1: Enable and protect
This session ensures you are set up correctly, confidently, and safely before applying AI to real work.
You will learn:
- What large language models are and how they generate outputs
- The difference between free and paid tools
- How to refine outputs through iterative prompting
- How to personalise AI tools using meta prompting
- Core principles of data privacy, confidentiality, and responsible use
By the end of this session, you are enabled, informed, and using AI safely and correctly.
Weeks 2 and 3: Apply and accelerate
These sessions focus on real output and behaviour change. They are structured around four core skill modules delivered across two weeks, reflecting how work actually happens.
Productivity and analysis
Learn how to interact with AI to get better results faster and reduce mental effort.
You will learn:
- Structured prompting for reliable, high-quality outputs
- Chain prompting to move from outline to finished work
- Meta prompting to fix weak or inconsistent outputs
- Agent Mode prompting for complex tasks
- Using AI for meeting notes, summaries, and action extraction
The emphasis is on reducing friction and cognitive load in day-to-day work.
Research and reporting
Learn how to use AI to make sense of information and support better decisions.
You will learn how to:
- Carry out robust desk research quickly and easily
- Analyse existing content such as reports and slide decks
- Gather, analyse, and synthesise data into clear insights
- Visualise and share interactive data
- Develop draft slide decks from a single prompt
You are encouraged to work with your own notes, research, or data to ensure relevance to real work.
Tasks and workflows
Learn how to turn intent into repeatable action through simple, practical workflows.
You will learn:
- What AI agents are and are not
- How agents support repeatable tasks and multi-step workflows
- How agents can act as lightweight knowledge bases
- How to build and use simple agents without technical complexity
- How to build simple workflows using agents
The focus is on reducing repetition and mental overhead, not automation for its own sake.
Vision and voice
Learn how to use AI wherever work happens, without breaking flow.
You will learn how to:
- Use AI mobile apps effectively
- Use voice prompts to prepare for meetings or capture ideas on the move
- Use images as inputs to extract, interpret, or summarise information
- Create and edit images and video
- Maintain consistency of quality, tone, and intent across text, image, and video outputs
AI is applied to real working patterns, not idealised ones.
Week 4: Bonus workshop / hackathon
This session consolidates learning and turns skills into confident, repeatable practice. It is highly interactive and participant led. No new tools are introduced. The focus is on applying what you have already learned to real work scenarios.
During the session, you will:
- Refine and improve existing work
- Translate intent into clear instructions
- Identify quick wins and low-effort improvements
You will also learn from how others apply AI in different roles and contexts.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with:
- At least one high-value use case ready to apply immediately
- Improved prompts, tools and workflows tailored to your work
- Greater confidence using AI independently beyond the course
Who It’s For
This course is for people who want to change how they work - not just keep up.
You might be in management, ops, finance, hr or admin. What you have in common is this: you're ready to stop dabbling and start using AI with purpose.
We teach in a way that fits your workflow - and you can apply everything using Chat GPT, Claude, Copilot Gemini or Perplexity.
Work is changing. You don’t have to keep up with everything - just know what matters. We’ll show you how.
