An interactive path from AI user to AI-native professional.
Ten modules, about 40 hours of focused work. Every module combines short lessons, tool demonstrations, and exercises you complete inside Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok — then an assessment that checks capability, not recall.

Learning objectives
- Explain how large language models produce answers — and why they sometimes invent them
- Map the tool landscape: Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, and where each fits
