Frequently asked questions

Do I need any technical background?

No. The course starts from what an AI model is and builds up from there. No code, no maths, no assumed knowledge.

How is this different from the AI Essentials course?

It contains all of AI Essentials, then adds 48 lessons applying it to small business work — quoting, customer service, admin, marketing and automation.

How long do I have access?

Four months from the date of enrolment.

Will this work for my industry?

The lessons are built around tasks rather than sectors — quoting, email, invoicing, marketing — so they transfer to most trades and service businesses.

Do I need paid AI subscriptions?

No. The course explains what the free tiers do and where a paid plan genuinely earns its cost.
