Questions
Do I need coding skills for this AI training?
No. The training focuses on using AI tools well, not on building them. You need basic computer skills and a laptop. Where automation is involved, we use no-code tools, so you can build useful workflows without writing code.
Which AI tools will I learn?
You practise with widely used tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot, plus design and automation tools like Canva and Zapier. The focus is on skills that transfer between tools, because AI products change quickly.
What will I have at the end of the training?
You finish with a portfolio that includes a prompt library, an AI-assisted report and a capstone automation project. A counsellor then helps you prepare your CV and interview answers for AI-related roles or freelance work.
