AI

Classes

Self-paced AI classes and workshops built around real tasks.

AI For Work Lab classes help learners practice with ChatGPT and AI tools through short lessons, guided workshops, practice labs, quizzes, assignments, and portfolio projects.

How learners learn

Each class starts with a normal task, not technical theory. Learners see an example, run a guided prompt, review the AI output, improve it, and save the final version as evidence.

Pick a task: Email, study, content, research, admin, business, or automation.

Use a guided workflow: Follow prompts with context, format, tone, and review rules.

Improve the output: Check facts, privacy, claims, tone, and usefulness.

Save proof: Keep the prompt, final output, checklist, and short reflection.

A learner can complete the first practical pass in 2 to 6 weeks. Busy learners can take one class at a time and still build a portfolio as they go.
