Course Structure
Module 1: From Dabbling to Doing
You’ve tested a few tools. Now it’s time to use them properly.
- Understand how large language models actually think (without the tech waffle)
- Cut through the noise: which free tools are useful, and which paid ones are worth it
- Learn prompt formats that deliver consistent, high-quality results
- Use AI to streamline meetings, write up notes, and extract actions in seconds
Module 2: Build Your Content Operating System
Even if “content” isn’t in your job title, you’re still expected to write, present, or explain things. This module helps you do it faster, better, and without the blank page dread.
- Replace endless Googling with smart tools like Perplexity and research agents
- Create clear, confident content - words and pictures - without the overthinking
- Learn what’s allowed: privacy, GDPR, and AI policy made simple
- Generate business graphics in seconds: timelines, flowcharts, process maps
You’ll leave with a practical, repeatable system to support everything from strategy decks to stakeholder emails.
Module 3: Data, Dashboards & Decks
Everyone’s sitting on a pile of data. Most of it is underused. This module gives you the tools and skills to turn that data into insight - safely and simply.
- Learn how to handle data responsibly: redaction, privacy, and GDPR made clear
- Embrace your inner data scientist – work hands-on with your own data, no technical background needed
- Create powerful visualisations that actually help you see what matters
- Use AI-powered tools to build reports and slide decks in minutes
If you’ve ever copied numbers into PowerPoint and hoped for the best, this changes the game.
Module 4: Agents & Application
In 2025, AI stepped up from being a tool to becoming your team. This module shows you how to create AI assistants that deliver real work, not just suggestions.
- Train an AI agent on your own company data and docs
- Train an AI agent on your own company data and documents
- Build a team of agents to handle real outputs: proposals, award entries, RFPs, and more
- Get practical with budgeting, planning, and next steps
- Generate full landing pages from a single prompt – no designer required
By the end, your team won’t just use AI. You’ll have one.
Who It’s For
This course is for people who want to change how they work - not just keep up.
You might be in strategy, ops, finance, compliance, engineering, project management or surveying. What you have in common is this: you're ready to stop dabbling and start using AI with purpose.
We teach in a way that fits your workflow - and you can apply everything using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot.
Prefer to stick with Microsoft tools? There’s a Copilot Masterclass when you’re ready to go deeper.
Work is changing. You don’t have to keep up with everything - just know what matters. We’ll show you how.
