AI Productivity · Beginner

• Beginner
• Eight weeks
• 48 guided hours
• No programming required

Proposed plan: eight weeks, 48 guided hours. Use AI for checked emails, summaries and simple reports. No programming required; confident browser and file use are required.

1. Recognise useful tasks and AI errors.
2. Improve prompts with a version log.
3. Draft and verify workplace documents.
4. Check summaries against supplied sources.
5. Verify table calculations in a spreadsheet.
6. Protect private data and recognise untrusted instructions.
7. Test a repeatable workflow with human review.
8. Demonstrate a checked productivity portfolio.

Exit outcome: perform supervised productivity tasks and explain the checks used. This proposed programme is awaiting academic approval and is not open for enrolment.

Generative AI development · Intermediate

• Intermediate
• Eight weeks
• 96 guided hours
• Python entry diagnostic

Eight weeks, 96 guided hours. Before entry, demonstrate Python functions, CSV handling, JSON validation, an HTTP request and error handling. Complete a separate Python bridge and reassessment if needed.

Exit outcome in the revised draft: build a small Python assistant with document grounding, bounded tools, evaluation evidence and human approval. Independent operation of production AI systems requires further experience.

Beginner productivity completion does not replace the Python entry diagnostic.
