AI Basics in 30 Days
AI Basics in 30 Days is a practical, step‑by‑step programme designed to help you use AI confidently in everyday work. Each day takes just 10 to 15 minutes and focuses on one simple, useful action, helping you build skills gradually without feeling overwhelmed. The course is organised into five sections, covering foundations and safety, marketing, admin and time‑saving, customer conversations, and finally using insight to make better decisions.
Move through the course in a way that works for you. Each day stands on its own, so you can dip in, revisit topics, or follow the full journey. By the end of the 30 days, you’ll have a practical understanding of how to use AI to support your work, along with simple habits to save time, improve consistency, and make clearer decisions.
