Introduction to AI Tools is a practical one-day training programme designed to help beginners and casual AI users develop the confidence to use Artificial Intelligence effectively in their everyday work and professional routines.
Participants will explore widely accessible AI platforms such as ChatGPT and learn how these tools can support common workplace activities including writing emails, creating reports, summarising documents, generating ideas, preparing presentations and analysing basic information.
Rather than simply asking AI random questions, the programme introduces participants to structured prompting techniques that can produce clearer, more relevant and more useful responses. Through live demonstrations, guided practice and hands-on workplace activities, participants will learn how to communicate with AI more effectively and apply it to practical tasks.
The Introduction to AI Tools programme also addresses important topics such as AI hallucinations, fact-checking, ethical AI use and responsible implementation. By the end of the session, participants will have practical techniques they can use to improve productivity while understanding the importance of reviewing and validating AI-generated information.
What Will You Learn in This Introduction to AI Tools : Prompt Smarter for Higher Productivity?
By completing this Introduction to AI Tools programme, participants will be able to:
- Explain and apply key AI applications in daily life and professional settings, while effectively
leveraging leading platforms such as ChatGPT to improve work efficiency and productivity. - Differentiate between blind prompting and prompt engineering and understand the impact of
each type of prompting. - Construct and refine well-structured prompts using proven techniques to generate accurate,
relevant and high-quality responses from AI tools. - Recognize AI hallucinations and to validate information for reliable decision-making.
Why Attend This Introduction to AI Tools Training?
This Introduction to AI Tools training focuses on practical application rather than technical AI theory. Participants will learn how AI can support real workplace activities and how better prompting can improve the quality of AI-generated results.
The programme is particularly useful for professionals who have experimented with ChatGPT or other AI platforms but are unsure how to use them consistently or effectively. Participants will practise different prompting approaches and learn how to refine AI responses based on context, requirements and intended outcomes.
