The most comprehensive AI course available
22 sections3 electives10h 15mFinal exam

The most comprehensive AI course there is, and the one that changes what you get paid for.

Ten hours that cover the whole territory: how these systems work, what they physically run on, how to get real output from them, what the law now requires, how to buy and roll them out, and how to turn all of it into three habits your team can see by next month.

What you will be able to do

By the end of module E
Describe what you are buying
Tell rules, statistical models and language models apart, and say which one a vendor is actually selling you.
Answer the hardware questions
Why Nvidia, why the good model costs more, where your data physically sits, and what to say when someone asks about the water.
Get real work out of it
Prompting with structure, persistent context, documents, multimodal input, and automation you did not have to code.
Stay on the right side of the line
Verification habits, the traffic-light data rule, copyright, the EU AI Act, hiring law, and where a human must decide.
Structure

Five modules, cumulative but not rigid.

Later sections assume the vocabulary of earlier ones. Modules C and D are readable out of order by a compliance or management reader who skips the hands-on middle.

Sections 02 and 03 are the depth pair: how a model works inside, and what it physically runs on. Both are skippable if you are short of time.

One idea per page.

Every section is built from the same six page types, so you never have to learn the course itself.
Frame pageMechanism pagesExample pagesExercise pagesCallout pagesCheckpoint page
Every section closes on a checkpoint: three questions, at least one a scenario rather than recall. The next section stays locked until you pass it.
Learning paths

Take the whole thing, or the part your job needs.

Nobody has ten hours in their first week. Pick a path and the course hides what you do not need. You can always come back for the rest.

Answer Engine Optimization
Marketing, comms and content roles
How to be the source AI assistants cite when people ask about your category. Elective because it is role-specific — but for marketing teams it is the section with the clearest commercial payoff.
Engineering With AI
Technical roles
Opens with the adoption ladder — 0 not using AI, 1 chat, 2 IDE copilot, 3 IDE codegen, 4 agentic. The argument: what kind of oversight you need changes as you climb it. At stages 2–3 your own eyeballs are the guardrail. At stage 4 that stops being physically possible, so something else has to do that job.
Evals: Testing Systems You Build
Technical roles
Section 19 applied the evidence discipline to products you buy; this applies it to systems you build. An eval suite is the only thing that tells you whether last week’s prompt change helped or quietly broke three cases.
How it compares

The whole territory, for less than a month of a subscription.

The large platforms teach AI in pieces: a prompting short course here, a specialization on machine-learning theory there, a governance module sold separately to enterprise. This is one program that covers the mechanics, the hardware, the daily practice, the law, the buying decision and the rollout, with a checkpoint at the end of every section.

Mechanics, hardware, daily practice, law, procurement and rollout in a single syllabus: the pieces the platforms sell as separate courses, in an order that builds.
Written for the job, not the transcript
Every section ends in something you can use on Monday: a checklist, a rule, a rewritten prompt, a review gate, a vendor question list.
Measured by what changes
The deliverable is a 30-day plan with three tasks, a verification step each, and day 7 / 14 / 30 checkpoints, so you can tell whether it worked.
Comparison drawn from each provider's public catalog on the date above. Course names, prices and syllabuses on the large platforms change often. If you find a figure out of date, tell us and we will correct it. Trademarks belong to their owners; no affiliation or endorsement is implied.
Maintenance

Content that ages is dated in front of you.

Three kinds of content age at different speeds, so they are authored and reviewed separately. Pages carrying figures show "current as of"; legal pages carry a named reviewer.

Durable concepts
How models work, prompting, verification habits: sections 01–02, 04, 06–07, 10–11, 14.
Annual
Landscape and figures
Product names, chip generations, energy data, pricing, UI: sections 03, 05, 08, 09, 12, 19, 21.
Quarterly
Legal and regulatory
Sections 16–18, quarterly with named legal review and a visible "last verified" date in-product.
Quarterly + review
Day-one users
You have heard the words and used none of the tools.
Daily users
You are getting mediocre output and do not know why.

Electives for moving from copilot to agentic work, and for evals.

Who wrote it

Dr. Miriam Vance

Eleven years building and governing machine-learning systems inside regulated industries: insurance pricing, clinical triage, and financial crime. She has sat on both sides of the table: shipping the models, and later signing off on other people's.

This course is the briefing she used to give every new director in their first week: the one that made the difference between people who could ask a useful question and people who could only ask for a demo.

What it changed

"I stopped nodding along in vendor meetings somewhere around section five. Now I ask for their evaluation set."
Priya Raman
Head of Operations, Calder Health
"We put HR on the compliance path and operations on the practitioner path. Same course, two different weeks."
Tom Ellery
L&D Director, Meridian Group
"The hardware section is the one I did not expect to need and now quote monthly."

Questions

How is this different from an edX or Google certificate?
Breadth and finish. Those are excellent at one slice each: theory, or tooling, or a portfolio project. This is one 236-page program covering mechanics, hardware and cost, daily practice, the law, procurement and rollout, for a single payment rather than a monthly subscription you have to outrun.
Do I need to be technical?
No. No code and no maths anywhere in the core. Sections 02 and 03 go deeper into how models work and what they run on, and both are marked skippable.
What do I need to start?
Access to at least one mainstream AI assistant. Several exercises are done in-product on your own material.
How is it gated?
Every section ends in a checkpoint of three questions. The next section unlocks when you pass, so nobody finishes by scrolling.
What is the final exam?
Twenty-five questions drawn at random from the bank, weighted toward scenarios, plus submission of your three-task capstone plan. Twenty correct passes, and you can retake it.
How do you keep the legal content current?
Regulatory sections are reviewed quarterly by a named reviewer, and every page carrying a figure or a date shows "current as of" in-product.
Can we buy for a whole organization?
Yes: self-serve up to 1,000 seats with volume discounts to 75%, and a learning path assignable per team. Above that, or if you need invoicing, SSO and a DPA, talk to us.
