    A practical outline of the day's learning. Each part includes guided hands-on practice.

    1. AI fundamentals and limits

    2. Prompt practice

      Write, test and refine prompts until the answers are genuinely useful.

    3. Workplace tasks

      Apply AI to everyday work such as writing, summarising, research and planning.

    4. Checking outputs and responsible use

      Check accuracy before you rely on an answer and handle information with care.

    5. Your personal application plan

      Decide how you'll use AI in your own role or business after the day.
