Overview

What this course is about

AI has stopped being a buzzword and started showing up in everyday work — and this compact course gets you comfortable with it fast. In one focused session you'll go from "I keep hearing about it" to actually using tools like ChatGPT with intent.

You'll learn what AI can and can't do, how to write prompts that get useful results, and where it fits into your own role. It's the perfect, pressure-free starting point — and with an education voucher it's completely free.
