-
While we can deliver the class online we recommend doing it in person as it is both easier for us to see when someone is stuck and we’ve found in-person attendees find it easier to switch into an “AI-first mindset”.
-
Most clients run the classes at their office however if you’d like to make it part of a team away-day we have several venues we have partnered with in the past to do this.
-
While people can attend the class with the free version of ChatGPT there will be some exercises they can’t do. We’d strongly recommend for data security reasons that all companies are using ChatGPT Teams or Enterprise anyway.
-
No technical expertise is required beyond typical day-to-day experience of using common apps such as email, social media and spreadsheets.
-
We’re very used to running classes that have attendees with different skill and confidence levels. We always staff classes with an instructor to push people and a tutor to catch anyone getting stuck. We often have self-described AI enthusiasts on the class and they still say that they learn a lot and find it very helpful.
