Programme
AI Foundations for Working Professionals
An introductory umbrella for professionals in any field who are starting to use AI at work. Six foundation courses cover what AI is and is not, working with the common assistants, prompting in practice, evaluating output, ethics and risk, and AI in the Albanian language. Six further short courses cover the compliance obligations that fall on organisations deploying AI.

- Learning only. Completion is not a qualification.
Study time is a planning estimate, not a measurement with participants. The courses listed below carry their own estimates; they add up to 93 hours.
Who it is for
Working professionals in any field who are beginning to use AI tools, and staff in organisations that are starting to deploy them.
What it develops
On completing the programme you can describe what current AI tools do and do not do; use the common assistants for ordinary professional tasks; write prompts that produce checkable output; evaluate that output rather than trusting it; recognise the ethical and legal risks of using it at work; and work with it in Albanian.
