Course curriculum

The six-session pathway

Each session adds one working habit and ties the tool back to CHEF, verification, and human accountability.

Session 1

Get Past Generic AI

CHEF prompting with a real task and source document.

Output: First usable CHEF prompt and a saved reflection entry.

Introduce CHEF as the course method.
Show the difference between AI memory and supplied context.
Establish the habit of using real tasks, real documents, and real judgement.

Session 2

Breaking the First Answer

Adversarial audit and fresh-chat verification.

Output: Improved output plus a basic verification habit.

Treat first answers as useful drafts, not final truth.
Use same-chat adversarial audit and fresh-chat verification.
Name what each verification method catches and misses.

Session 3

From Prompt to Project

Projects as saved CHEF prompts.

Output: First Project or agent for a recurring task.

Move from one-off prompting to reusable Projects or agents.
Explain what persists: instructions, knowledge files, and chat history.
Introduce the Creator / Auditor split.

Session 4

Your Team of Agents

Coach, Build, Challenge; specific vs general agents; panel-of-experts demo.

Output: Agent-team map and first workflow commitment.

Reframe Projects as agents using tool-agnostic language.
Introduce Coach, Build, and Challenge roles.
Participants choose their Workflow Card architecture.

Session 5

Working Across Files

Folder-based and multi-file work with permission risks.

Output: Low-stakes file-based test or documented readiness plan.

Compare chat, Projects, and desktop/file-based tools.
Discuss permissions, shared drives, accidental edits, deletion, and connected-app risk.
Make clear the core course does not depend on Cowork or desktop tools.

Session 6

Making It Stick

Choosing the right tool, risk review, and next steps.

Output: Monday-morning commitment and post-course support path.

Review CHEF and Coach / Build / Challenge.
Discuss personal, organisational, sector, and beneficiary risks.
Finalise the Workflow Card and operational checklist.

Workflow Card system

Lite and full cohort cards

The Workflow Card is the practical bridge between learning about AI and using it responsibly on real work.

Lite Workflow Card

Online-only and one-day learners.

One real, low-risk task turned into a repeatable AI-assisted workflow: one task, one reusable prompt or agent, one verification step, and one practical next action.

One low-risk workflow candidate
One CHEF brief
One reusable prompt or primary agent
One verification habit

Full Cohort Workflow Card

Six-session open cohorts and private team cohorts.

A tested record of one real AI-assisted workflow, including the task, source material, agent design, verification method, risks, safeguards, and operational checklist.

Workflow architecture and agent-team design
Verification and human oversight plan
Risks, safeguards, and operational checklist
Personalised draft where enough detail is submitted by Session 4

Participants who submit enough workflow detail by Session 4 may receive a personalised draft Workflow Card. Others complete the standard card with facilitator support.

What participants say

Previous participants valued the practical workflow focus and realistic safe-use discussion.

"Taking long reports, transcripts, or datasets and distilling them into clear summaries or bullet points saves hours of manual reading and note-taking."

"I really appreciated the training and found it practical."

Frequently asked questions

Do I need technical experience?

No. The course is designed for non-technical professionals. We focus on practical judgement, good prompts, verification, and safe workflows rather than coding.

Which format should I choose?

Choose the online intro for a low-cost start, the live intro if you want facilitation, the full cohort if you want a supported workflow build, and the private cohort if your team needs adaptation to your tools and risk boundaries.

What tools will we use?

We teach transferable workflow patterns. Examples may use ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, or other approved tools. Participants should use the systems their organisation allows.

What if my organisation does not allow Cowork or desktop tools?

Cowork and desktop/file-based tools are optional and only used where installation, file access, and policy allow it. The core course works with approved chat or Project-style environments.

Will I get a personalised Workflow Card?

Participants who provide enough workflow detail by Session 4 may receive a personalised draft. Everyone receives the standard Full Cohort Workflow Card and facilitator guidance.

What happens if I miss a session?

Recordings and materials are shared with participants. You can catch up between sessions and use the learner materials to keep your Workflow Card moving.
