AI Essentials
Everything you need to understand and use AI at work. Proven productivity gains in just three hours.
Master ChatGPT and prompt engineering in this small-group 3 hour workshop
AI Essentials offers hands-on experience with ChatGPT and a variety of prompting techniques that have been proven to improve the productivity of our attendees. Updated weekly to keep pace with new developments, this course is the perfect foundation to your organisation’s future AI plans.
75% of this instructor-led workshop is practical, getting attendees comfortable working with ChatGPT and spotting the opportunities to use it in their daily workflows. Attendees tell us that, on average, the things they learn saves them 1 hour every day at work.
We also make sure that attendees learn the key legal, privacy and reputation risks of using AI tools and give them enough technical understanding be the basis for further research if they so choose.
But most of all, we try to make it really fun as we believe that building excitement and confidence around AI is key to getting people to make it part of their daily lives.
