Course Overview
The skill gap that is quietly splitting the job market
Employers are not asking “do you use AI?” anymore – they are asking “how well?”. This practical course turns AI from a novelty into a working advantage: prompting that gets useful answers on the first try, CVs and cover letters sharpened honestly, interview practice with instant feedback, employer and salary research in minutes, and the everyday workflows – emails, reports, minutes, spreadsheets, slides – that used to eat your evenings.
Just as important is the professional half: fact-checking, privacy and the paste bar, employer AI policies, disclosure and plagiarism, and the human skills – judgment, relationships, accountability – that keep you valuable as the tools improve. Everything is tool-agnostic and beginner-friendly: if you can write a WhatsApp message, you can do this course.
What you will be able to do
- Write structured prompts (role, task, context, format) and iterate to genuinely useful output.
- Draft and tailor CVs, cover letters and interview answers with AI – without fabricating a single fact.
- Produce emails, reports, minutes, spreadsheet formulas and slide outlines in a fraction of the old time.
- Apply the paste bar: verify facts, de-identify data and follow your employer’s AI policy with confidence.
- Build a personal prompt playbook that compounds in value every week.
How the course works
- Four modules of lessons, each ending with graded questions that show you the correct answers as you go.
- One final assessment after the last module – multiple-choice, true/false and matching questions – with every question required to pass.
- Fully self-paced: your progress is saved automatically as you complete each item.
- Complete every item, pass the final assessment and your personalised certificate of completion is issued automatically, with a public verification link for LinkedIn.
