AI learning program

Understand AI. Practice with purpose.

A structured learning program for people, teams and organizations that want to use AI thoughtfully and effectively. Work from the basics through prompting, evaluation, workflows and a small prototype, with guided practice throughout.

Who it is for

Start with the work you know.

You do not need a technical background to begin. Bring a task you understand and a willingness to practice. People with more experience can focus on evaluation, workflow design or prototyping.

What to expect

Short explanations, worked examples, guided exercises and feedback. We agree the level, tools, format and any prerequisites before a session. Training can stand on its own.

Use fictional or public information in exercises. A practice prototype is a learning artifact and needs further review before handling real operations or sensitive data.

Curriculum

Six modules, with something to practice at each step.

Follow the sequence as a program or discuss a focused selection for your starting point and goals.

Module 1

Understand AI

Recognize what AI tools can and cannot do, and choose a suitable task to practice.

Practice: Compare responses to a familiar task. Identify missing context, uncertainty and claims that need checking.

Takeaway: A task checklist: where AI may help, what to keep private and what you will verify.

Module 2

Write a clear prompt

Give an AI tool the context, task, constraints and output format it needs.

Practice: Turn a vague request into a reusable brief, then improve it by comparing the results.

Takeaway: A prompt template for a task you understand.

Module 3

Evaluate the response

Check an answer against sources and requirements before relying on it.

Practice: Review a response containing errors, omissions and unsupported claims. Decide what to correct or reject.

Takeaway: A review checklist with criteria for accuracy, completeness and usefulness.

Module 4

Build a repeatable workflow

Connect prompting and review to a useful sequence of work.

Practice: Map a process, identify where AI might help and specify where a person reviews or makes the decision.

Takeaway: A workflow map with inputs, review points and a clear owner for each step.

Module 5

Prototype a useful tool

Translate a small need into a specification and test a first version.

Practice: Use fictional data to build or outline a small tool. Try realistic test cases and record what fails.

Takeaway: A prototype or build brief, plus test cases and gaps to resolve before operational use.

Module 6

Put responsible use into practice

Set boundaries for data, permissions, review and continued improvement.

Practice: Work through scenarios involving sensitive information, unreliable results and requests outside a tool's scope.

Takeaway: A practical use plan covering approved inputs, human review and when to escalate.
