Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
This course is designed as a focused, roughly one-hour training that gives you what you need to use AI responsibly — and to understand where AI stands right now.
The one-hour length is intentional. You're busy — so instead of a ten-hour marathon you'll never finish, this gives you the essentials you can actually complete and put to use. No filler. Every minute earns its place.
AI is already in the tools you use every day, and most people are using it without ever being taught how. This training fixes that — practical AI literacy for every professional, with no coding, no jargon, and no hype.
It introduces the fundamentals of AI and how it functions, its real applications across the workplace, practical tips for using it well, the ethical considerations that matter, and proven strategies for effective human–AI collaboration — all aimed at building your confidence and adaptability in an evolving, AI-driven work environment.
Whether you work in HR, finance, operations, marketing, customer support, or leadership, you'll gain the durable understanding that makes you effective with any AI tool — today's and tomorrow's — not a tour of buttons that will change next month.
Taught by Dr. Nasser Alaeddine, a cybersecurity and technology leader with 20+ years of experience and 12+ years teaching. His focus: helping professionals use AI to work smarter — practically, and with privacy, security, and responsible use built in.
What you'll walk away with:
The fundamentals — and how AI works: a plain-English grasp of what AI is, and why it confidently gets things wrong
AI in the workplace: where it genuinely helps across your role and everyday tasks
Practical usage tips: the RACTC prompting method, plus knowing when to trust AI and when to verify
Ethical, responsible use: spot bias, protect your data, and avoid costly "shadow AI" mistakes
Human–AI collaboration: a "co-pilot, not autopilot" mindset that keeps you in control
Confidence and adaptability: a practical 30-day plan to keep pace as AI evolves
Every lesson is short, focused, and built around real, anonymized examples from companies already using AI.
No hype. No fear. Just practical understanding you can put to work on Monday morning.
Enroll now and start using AI the way confident professionals do — deliberately, safely, and well.
