AI course
An AI course that doesn't break with the next product update.
Ninety minutes on how AI works, where it goes wrong and how to judge what comes out. Not built around one tool, so what you learn works in Copilot, ChatGPT and whatever comes next.
What you learn
01 · The content
Memorising prompts is pointless. What keeps working is understanding why an answer looks the way it does, and when not to trust it.
Three things carry the whole course. That a model writes convincingly regardless of whether it is right. That it adopts your assumption rather than challenging it. And that what you enter ends up somewhere, and that where matters.
Anyone who grasps those three uses any AI system more responsibly than someone who knows fifty prompts. Which is also why we stay vendor-neutral: those three do not change when Microsoft or OpenAI ships something new.
If you want to go further with Microsoft 365 specifically, there is a second programme of eight modules covering Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel and Copilot Chat. That is on the Copilot training and is a different product at a different price.
The five modules
02 · What's in the ninety minutes
01 · 15 min
What AI is and isn't
Without jargon and without futurology: what a language model does, why it sounds convincing even when it's wrong, and where it's pattern matching rather than understanding. This is the base the rest builds on.
02 · 20 min
The risks you meet in your own work
Invented sources, adopted assumptions, biased output and the ease with which sensitive data ends up somewhere. With real examples, not scenarios from a press release.
03 · 20 min
What the AI Act asks of you
The obligation in plain language: why it exists, who it applies to and what a sufficient level means for your role. Including what your organisation has to record and why your participation is part of that.
04 · 20 min
Judging what comes out
The skill that weighs heaviest and where almost every group scores lowest. A six-point checklist, practised on answers with a demonstrable error in them.
05 · 15 min
Agreements for the Monday after
What you do and don't enter, when you put a human in between and what never leaves unchecked. You write it down yourself at the end, and that's the part that sticks.
ChatGPT or Copilot makes no difference here
03 · Vendor-neutral
The difference between those two is what they can reach and what you are allowed to do with them. Not in the skill you need to use them.
Copilot looks inside your own files and mail; ChatGPT does not, unless you paste it in yourself. That difference mainly determines what you may put in, and that is an agreement your organisation makes. What the two share: both write just as convincingly when they are wrong.
The full comparison, including when to choose which, is on Copilot or ChatGPT. The agreements about what may and may not go in belong in your AI policy, and how to write that down is on AI policy.
Questions about the AI course
04 · Short answer
Is this a course for ChatGPT or for Copilot?
For both, because the skill is the same. Framing a task, supplying context and judging whether the answer holds up works the same in ChatGPT as in Copilot or Gemini. The examples are vendor-neutral, so the course doesn't age with the next product update.
How long does the course take?
90 minutes, including the assignments. You can do it in one sitting or in five parts, because the modules stand alone. There is no deadline and no annual subscription: you buy it once.
Do I need any prior knowledge?
No. The course starts with what a language model does and why it sounds convincing even when it's wrong. If you already use AI daily, the most useful part is the one on judging output: that is the skill almost every group scores lowest on.
What does it cost per participant?
€49 per participant, one-off and excluding VAT. No minimum order and no setup fee. From 100 participants the price per person drops; that is stated in the quote, not in the fine print.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes, with your name, the date and the parts you completed. Be honest about what that proves though: that you finished the course, not that you can do it. And an officially recognised AI Act certificate does not exist, from anyone.
