Prerequisites
Basic computer literacy. No AI experience required. Some Python helps for the coding-agent modules.
- 01Professionals in any role looking to leverage AI
- 02Analysts, developers, and technical staff who want AI to speed up their work
- 03Managers exploring AI adoption for their teams
01Do I need any technical background to learn AI and ChatGPT?
No. The Fundamental level assumes no prior AI or programming experience. If you can use a web browser and write emails, you can learn to use AI effectively.
02Which AI tools does this course cover?
ChatGPT and Claude are the main tools, with Claude Code and Codex for coding, and comparisons to Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. The skills you learn transfer to any AI platform, and we keep the content current as the tools change.
03Can I use these tools on my work computer?
Often not. Many government and corporate devices block AI tools. Many participants use a personal computer and personal accounts for the training, and we cover what information is safe to share with AI.
04Is this AI course available online?
Yes. All sessions are delivered live via virtual classroom. On-site training is also available for teams in Ottawa and Ontario.
05How can AI help me in my daily work?
AI can draft emails, summarize documents, analyze data, brainstorm ideas, create presentations, automate repetitive writing tasks, and more. We cover practical workflows for every profession.
06Will I receive a certificate?
Yes. Upon completing each level, you receive a GrowWM certificate of completion that you can share with employers or add to your LinkedIn profile.
07Is it safe to use ChatGPT with business data?
We cover data privacy, compliance (PIPEDA, GDPR), and safe usage policies in detail. You will learn which data is appropriate to use with AI tools and how to set up governance guidelines.
