Questions

Who is each level for?

Level 1 is for anyone; no technical background is needed. Level 2 is for people who already use AI tools weekly and want to go beyond chat. Level 3 has two tracks: Builder, for developers and analysts who can code, and Leader, for managers who own AI decisions. Level 4 is for Level 3 graduates ready to prove their work in a real organisation.

How is it taught?

Levels 1 and 2 are self-paced online, with video lessons, readings and guided exercises, and 12 months' access. Levels 3 and 4 are taught in cohorts of up to 20 with a named tutor: two 90-minute live classes a week, plus online lessons and exercises.

Can I skip a level?

Levels run in order. If you already have the experience, you can skip a level by passing its challenge exam, which costs £75.
