What You'll Be Able to Do After This Course
Understand what AI actually is
AI is not magic, not a brain, and not a person. Learn the one mental model that cuts through the hype: AI finds patterns in data and uses them to make predictions. Simple, useful, and honest.
Talk to AI with confidence
Learn a simple three-part prompt structure — context, task, constraints — that works for any AI assistant. Get better output from your first conversation, and every one after.
See what AI means for your job
The evidence says AI helps the people who need help most. Learn why augmentation, not replacement is the real story — and why the workers who avoid AI are the ones most exposed.
Use AI responsibly at work
Learn the four things that go wrong with AI, the UK framework for responsible use, and the one rule you must not break. Walk away with a simple four-point check you can run before you send.
AI Basics for the Workplace
A jargon-free, non-technical introduction to AI at work. What AI is, where it already shows up in your day, how to talk to it, what it means for your job, and how to use it responsibly. Built for staff with no technical background.
