What you'll learn

What AI Actually Is

A calibrated mental model — and how to spot hallucinations.

Prompting for Real Work

Role, task, context, format — and iterating on weak results.

AI Safety & Data Handling

What never to paste into an AI tool, and when to get approval.

AI at Work

Email, SOPs, summaries, research — applied with a human-review step.

AI for Managers & Teams

Usage guidelines, review workflows, measuring real value.

Capstone

Build one safe AI workflow — reviewed by a person, not a quiz score.

FAQ

Who is this for?

Small-business owners, managers, and everyday employees who use AI at work and want a credible, practical grounding. No coding or math required.

How is it graded?

Module quizzes (80% to pass) plus a capstone — a real piece of work you build with AI — that a person reviews. Quiz scores alone never earn the certificate.

What do I get?

A verifiable certificate (each one has a public verification page) and a badge. Valid for 24 months.

How long does it take?

Self-paced — roughly 5–6 hours of guided material plus the capstone.
