Training · Free curriculum

From your first prompt to AI-fluent at work.

A self-paced curriculum for non-technical adults. 54 modules across three tiers — Personal, Professional, Employable — that ramp from what is an LLM through "the AI-fluent person on a team." Plain-English delivery, written by someone who uses this stuff to run a real business.

The ladder

Three tiers, in order. Skip nothing.

Each tier builds on the one before it. Start at Tier 1 even if you've used ChatGPT — most people skip the foundations and the gaps show up later. Tier 3 modules ship as free primers + paid operator-grade guides; the workshops happen in the cohort.

Tier 1 · Personal

Use AI well in your own life.

What an LLM actually is. How to prompt without sounding like a marketing brochure. When NOT to use AI. The skills that turn a casual user into someone who reaches for the right tool reflexively.

For: anyone in their first 30–90 days with AI. 18 modules, all free.

Tier 2 · Professional

Use AI well at your job.

Role-specific templates. Multi-step task chains. Picking the right model. Privacy and what not to paste. The team-rollout playbook that doesn't blow up in week three.

For: people already comfortable with AI personally, ready to apply it at work. 18 modules, all free.
