Frequently asked questions

How are the live labs run?

Labs are 90-minute online sessions in small groups. You bring a real task, work on it with a coach, and get feedback on your prompts. Recordings are shared if you can't attend live.

Is this course tied to one AI model?

No. The techniques apply to all major models, and exercises show where approaches differ between them.

What happens after I enrol?

You'll receive a confirmation email with your access details and, for live programmes, your session dates. If anything is unclear, just reply to that email.

Can my employer pay?

Yes. We can provide an invoice for your employer's training or development budget. Use the enquiry form and tell us who should be invoiced.
