Whether you use AI daily or have never opened it, this gets you comfortable. You learn prompting habits, everyday work uses, safe and ethical use, plus a small project of your own. Short, online, no coding.
Habits that get useful answers for emails and summaries.
Every office has a person others ask. Be them.
Privacy, data sensitivity, accuracy and bias checks.
AI habits are turning into an office basic, the way spreadsheets did. The gain shows up as quicker drafting, cleaner summaries and less time on repeat work.
Draft, tidy and summarise faster.
Keep the paperwork moving with less effort.
Turn notes into usable documents.
Speed up the repeat tasks.
Pull updates and summaries together.
Draft clearer replies, quicker.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. This is a foundation course and does not train you for technical or specialist AI roles.
Get comfortable, get useful, then keep going.
Three things worth knowing.
Written for office work, not for developers.
What to keep out of a prompt, and how to check output.
A hands on project rounds off the course.
Plus a CPD Certification Service certificate
Issued by the college when you finish.
A certificate from the CPD Certification Service and e-Careers.
Credits you can add to your record.
Faster admin, or catching up on AI.

No. It assumes you are starting from zero.
None. It is written in plain language for office work.
No exams. There are scenario based activities instead.
This is a foundation course, so it builds confidence and habits rather than technical depth. It will not train you for specialist AI roles, and nobody pretends otherwise. What it does give you is everyday use you can apply at work on Monday.
Yes. Course access stays open at any hour.
Yes. There is a hands on project near the end.
