About the course
Most of the work is text that has to become other text
For a project manager whose week goes on status reports, meeting notes and documents, this course is the right one, because it works on those very tasks and not on examples.
Notes have to become a summary. The summary has to become a report. The report has to become three sentences for the steering group. Every step takes time and none of them is what makes the project good.
We go through how to get a useful document out of a long piece of material and where it is unwise to put project information. The biggest single block is checking: a full hour on holding an AI answer up against your own material before it goes further, online as well as on site. A summary nobody has checked is worthless however many audiences it is rewritten for, which is why we work through one audience example online rather than several.
After the course you get a record of completion. It is yours, it can be checked afterwards by whoever you show it to, and it stays with you if you change employer.
You need no technical background.
After the course
What you can do when you leave
Check an AI answer before you use it
The core of this course, a full hour online as well as on site. You decide in under a minute whether an answer is worth working with, recognise the three failures that come up most, and trace a claim back to a source you can open yourself. You leave with a checking routine written down for a document you produce every week.
Write the same content for different audiences
One example online, more on the full day. The steering group and the team need different things out of the same document.
Know what should not be entered
Project information, customer data and anything covered by an agreement.
Funding
Are you between jobs?
Your job security council may pay for the whole course. That applies to TRR, TSL and several others, and it is more common than most people think.
It depends on what is said in the meeting and what you have agreed to record. We go through how that question is settled, but the answer is your organisation's.
The one you already have at work, if you have one. Most project managers have Copilot or ChatGPT through their employer. We spend no course time touring the tool market, the time goes on your own material.
Yes. The work is the same, whatever the job title says.
Yes, and it is the core of the course. The checking module runs for a full hour, on the three hour online course as well as on the on site day, and it comes straight after the summarising module. You practise recognising the three most common failures, holding a summary up against the source rather than against your memory of it, and deciding what to do with the parts that cannot be checked. You write down a checking routine for a document you produce every week.
Yes, a personal record after completing the course. It is issued digitally and can be checked afterwards, also by someone outside AIUC. We call it a record of completion and not a certification: a certification is issued by an independent body against an established standard, and no such standard exists for general AI literacy.
More than five days before the start it costs nothing. Two to five days before, half the course fee is charged. The day before or on the day, the full fee is charged. Get in touch as early as you can, and we will solve what can be solved.
