FAQs

What is this course about?

This course focuses on evaluating and applying AI tools for business use – covering productivity, reporting, and customer-facing applications. You’ll learn which tools fit your work and how to assess them within real organisational constraints.

Is this course technical?

No. The course is designed for business professionals. No programming or technical AI development knowledge is required.

Will I learn how to choose the right AI tools?

Yes. You’ll gain structured criteria for evaluating and comparing AI tools based on business needs, feasibility, and risk.

Does the course cover new AI tools and trends?

 Yes. The course covers current AI tools relevant to business applications, with emphasis on evaluation frameworks rather than experimentation alone.

How is this different from general AI awareness programs?

Most AI awareness programs explain what AI is. This course focuses on what to do with it — which tool for which task, how to evaluate options, and how to apply AI in your work.

You’ll also experience hands-on previews of what’s possible: content creation with multimodal AI, automation with agent workflows, and building with no-code tools. A clear view of the landscape — and a path forward if you want to go deeper.

What certification will I receive

A Certificate of Completion is issued upon successful completion of the assessment.
