Level Up Your Career with the Applied AI Course
If you’re a business professional, you’ve likely seen AI skills pop up in job descriptions and industry reports. It’s clear that understanding artificial intelligence is no longer optional it’s essential for staying competitive. But where do you even start? Reading a few articles is one thing, but truly knowing how to apply AI to solve real business problems is another.
This is exactly why we created the Applied AI Course. It’s a hands-on program designed to give you practical AI skills for business, moving you from a curious observer to a confident user. This guide will walk you through what you’ll learn, how it can boost your career, and how you can get started.
What You’ll Learn in the Applied AI Course
Our program is broken down into ten focused modules that take you from the fundamentals to advanced applications. It’s all about building a solid foundation and then adding layers of specialized knowledge.
Module 1: Introduction to AI
We begin with the basics. You’ll explore the history of AI and get comfortable with the essential tools and vocabulary. We’ll also tackle the important topics of security, privacy, and how to fact-check AI-generated content. To put this knowledge into practice, you’ll create a simple AI use policy to ensure you’re using these powerful tools responsibly and effectively from day one.
Module 2: Prompt Engineering and Brand Voice
This is where the fun really begins. You’ll learn the art of crafting effectively, prompting the specific instructions you give to an AI to get precisely the results you need. We will work on developing and maintaining a consistent brand voice across various AI tools, ensuring that all your AI-generated content still sounds authentically like you or your company.
Module 3: Crafting Quality Content, Voice
Stop playing prompt roulette. In this module, you’ll learn frameworks that deliver better results every time, whether you’re asking for a detailed project plan or a catchy social media post. You’ll discover why the same prompt yields different outcomes in ChatGPT versus Claude or Gemini, and learn how to select the right tool for each task.
Module 4: Presentations
Forget spending hours on slide decks. Here, you’ll discover how to use different AI-powered tools to quickly create impressive and effective presentations. You’ll learn how to generate outlines, design slides, and even write speaker notes in a fraction of the time.
Module 5: Spreadsheets
Spreadsheets can be a major time-sink, but not with AI. In this module, you’ll learn how to create complex budgets with working formulas in seconds and turn raw data into actionable business insights. For example, one of our students, Candy, used ChatGPT’s Data Analyst tool to create a personal budget, complete with formulas that worked perfectly when exported to Excel. Another student, Leah, used Claude to build an interactive budget template her team could fill out directly in the chat.
Module 6: How to Create Custom Agents/GPTs/Gems
Imagine having an AI assistant that handles repetitive tasks without constant supervision. That’s what this module is all about. You’ll learn to build reusable AI agents that can store company knowledge, answer questions instantly, and automate workflows. These aren’t just theoretical concepts; students walk away with working tools they can implement in their businesses immediately.
Module 7: Level Up Your Prompt Engineering
Ready to go deeper? Here, you’ll learn how to use advanced frameworks and multiple data sources to create compelling proposals, emails, SMS campaigns, and more. This is about moving beyond basic prompts to become a true AI power user.
Module 8: Generative AI Image Basics
Visual content is king, and now you can create it with AI. This module introduces you to a range of image creation tools, from simple to sophisticated. You’ll learn the fundamentals of generating unique visuals for your projects without needing a design degree.
Module 9: Generative AI Video Basics
Video production can be expensive, but AI is changing the game. We’ll show you how to create professional-looking videos for product demos, training materials, and social media content using surprisingly simple AI tools.
Module 10: Workflow Application
This is where everything comes together. You’ll learn how to strategically select the right AI tools for your specific business needs and integrate them into your daily operations. The goal is to move from random experimentation to strategic implementation that saves you time and money.
