Beginner / Advanced

The AI baseline every technical professional needs before using AI at work.

Understand how AI and generative AI actually work, where they fall short, and how to use them responsibly at work. Anchored by the AI Essentials course and hands-on literacy labs, this is the foundation every technical professional needs before using AI on the job.

Before anyone reaches for an AI tool, they need to know what it is and where it breaks. This training builds that baseline — core AI and generative-AI concepts, mental models, evaluating outputs for bias and hallucination, and responsible, ethical use — through the AI Essentials course and its Foundational AI Literacy labs like Fundamentals of AI, Everyday AI Productivity, and AI Ethics in Action. Learners don't just watch; they practice. Included with ITPro — learn online, on your schedule.
