New starters, managers, and leaders in any sector
AI Fluency for Professionals
Your people use AI already and nobody can say whether the output is safe, whether the time saved is real, or who is checking. This course answers those three questions at the level you work at, from your own drafts to your team's output to the budget and the board.
A practical course run by Rushi Vyas, in person or online: 3 stages, 27 teaching screens, and verifiable Open Badges issued after each session. The interactive courseware on this page opens with the access code shared with your cohort.
Who this course suits
- Level 1, for graduates and new starters asking how they know their own AI-assisted work is good enough to send
- Level 2, for managers whose team all use AI differently and who need consistent work without slowing delivery
- Level 3, for leaders who have to tell a board what AI has returned, where next year's budget goes, and what they will stop funding
Foundations
New starters, graduates, and anyone using AI on their own work. You are responsible for what you produce, not for what anyone else produces.
Build the judgement layer before touching any tool.
Questions this level answers:
- What does good enough to send actually mean when AI wrote the first draft?
- Which parts of my job should AI touch, and which should it never go near?
- Where are the rules nobody has written down yet, and how do I stay inside them?

Practitioner
Team leads and managers running day-to-day delivery. You own a workflow and you review work other people produced.

Questions this level answers:

Leader
Heads of function, principals, partners, and founders. You own budget, policy, vendor contracts, and the risk the organisation carries when this goes wrong.
Own the money, the policy, and the risk your function carries.
Questions this level answers:
- What do we show the board when they ask whether our AI use is safe and what it returned?
- Where does next year's budget go, and what do we stop funding to pay for it?
- Is a vendor's no human review claim ever something we would sign up to?

Common questions
Is this course suitable for students and recent graduates?
Yes. It is the recommended starting point. The course assumes no technical background, and the Foundation badge reads as evidence to employers that you can use AI with judgment.
Do I get a certificate for completing it?
Each of the three levels ends in a scenario check and earns a verifiable Open Badge with its own hosted verification page, ready to add to LinkedIn.
Is the course online or in person?
Both. Cohorts run live, in person or online, and the interactive courseware works on a phone or a laptop either way.
