Literacy for a world shaped by AI

Clear, credible courses that help people understand what AI systems do, where they fail, and how to use them responsibly — without the hype.

01 — Context

Why AI literacy matters

Organisations are adopting AI faster than they are building shared language. Literacy is the foundation for safe use, informed decisions, and accountable oversight.

When every team touches a model — or a vendor that uses one — silence becomes risk.

AI literacy is not a synonym for coding. It is the practical ability to ask better questions: What is this system optimising for? What data shaped it? Who is accountable when it errs? How do regulation and internal policy apply?

These courses are designed for professionals who need clarity — whether you commission AI, oversee it, assure it, or simply use it in your work every day.

  • 01 Shared vocabulary across technical and non-technical roles
  • 02 Judgement about capability, limitation, and appropriate use
  • 03 Awareness of governance, assurance, and emerging regulation

02 — Curriculum

Course tracks

Four pathways. One editorial spine: understanding first, then judgement, then role-specific depth. Descriptions stay high-level until you enquire — no invented prices or accreditation claims.

  1. Foundations for everyone

    General literacy

    What AI systems are (and are not), how generative tools work in plain language, common failure modes, and habits for responsible everyday use at work.

  2. Leaders & managers

    Decision & oversight

    Commissioning AI with eyes open: capability claims, vendor questions, organisational readiness, and how leaders set tone without needing to train models.

  3. Practitioners · risk & assurance

    Governance depth

    For risk, audit, compliance, and assurance professionals who must evaluate AI systems, evidence controls, and connect literacy to existing frameworks.

  4. EU AI Act literacy

    Regulatory orientation

    A focused orientation to the EU AI Act’s concepts, roles, and obligations — for teams who need literate conversation, not a full legal opinion. Deeper programme study lives at our sibling LMS where relevant.

03 — Audience

Who it’s for

Built for people who need professional-grade clarity — not consumer tip lists and not a computer-science degree.

Professionals using AI tools

Knowledge workers who already use assistants, copilots, or analytics — and want to use them with eyes open.

Executives & line managers

Leaders who approve spend, set policy, and carry accountability for how AI lands in the organisation.

Risk, audit & compliance

Assurance functions translating AI activity into controls, evidence, and board-ready narrative.

Public & regulated sectors

Teams navigating higher scrutiny, procurement constraints, and rising regulatory expectations.

04 — Results

What participants take away

Outcomes we aim for — stated plainly, without fabricated testimonials.

Language

Better questions for vendors, projects, and internal champions.

Judgement

Orientation to governance and regulatory themes relevant to modern AI use.
