The AI Bootcamp for L&D

Dr Philippa Hardman

World-leading expert in AI + L&D

"All L&D roles will be AI-enhanced roles in the very near future "

Use AI where it makes your L&D work better, not just faster.

🏆 Join the #1-rated AI bootcamp for L&D, alongside L&D professionals from organisations including Google, KPMG, LinkedIn, Arizona State University and the UN.

Most AI training shows you tools and how to make content faster. This bootcamp goes further. You'll learn how to look at your own L&D work, decide where AI genuinely improves it, and build tools that do it — tested before you trust them.

____

Every week, you get two things:

⚡ Quick wins — How Dr Phil uses AI. The off-the-shelf AI tools Phil uses for analysis, design, development & eval, with instructions + checkpoints for each. Try one in 10 minutes and use it at work the same week.

🛠 Build your tools. Map the tasks in each stage of your workflow, pick the one where AI adds most value, and create a prototype to test on real work.

____

Over four weeks, you'll cover the whole L&D workflow: Analysis → Design → Development & Implementation → Evaluation.

You'll leave with a toolkit of AI tools for every stage of your workflow, and a proven method you can use for every time you work with AI

What you’ll learn

How to decide where AI adds value in your L&D work, build tools that do it, and prove they work.

  • See the off-the-shelf tools I use for analysis, design, development and evaluation, and what each is good for

  • Try each one with a ready-made prompt on your own work or practice files

  • Know what to check in the output for each task, so you catch errors before anyone else does

  • Map the tasks in each stage of your workflow

  • Tag each task: take it off me 🐒, make it faster ⚡, help me do it better 💎, or make it possible 👻

  • Pick the task with the biggest payoff, and know which tasks should stay human

  • Write a spec, not a prompt, using my Four Rs™ framework: Role, Rules, Resources, References

  • Make AI follow your method, use only your sources, and match your examples of good work

  • Build one tool for each stage of your workflow, with my feedback on every one

  • Set a pass mark before you build, so you know what "good enough" means

  • Test your tool on real cases and find where it skipped, invented or averaged

  • Decide on evidence: ship it, fix it or shelve it

  • Choose the right form for a tested tool: a saved prompt, a Project, a shared Project, a Skill or an agent

  • Decide where the human check sits at each step

  • Take back a method your whole team can follow

Chat with my bootcamp AI teaching assistant

Throughout the bootcamp, you'll get to work with both Dr Phil and her AI Teaching Assistant.

Got a question about the bootcamp? Ask the AI teaching assistant. It’s trained on everything about the course, from “Is this right for my role?” to “Can I do it with just Copilot?”

You can also use it to try the bootcamp before you join. Describe a task from your work, and the bot will show you how we’d tackle it: which stage it sits in, what kind of value AI could add, and what you’d build.

The Four Rs Framework™️

The bootcamp centres around Dr Phil's Four Rs Framework, a game-changing approach to working with AI that turns generic AI output into the output of a well trained and expert colleague.


The Four Rs™

🎭 Role — how AI should behave, and what it must not decide
📏 Rules — the steps AI must follow, and what it can't skip
📚 Resources — the files AI must work from, and nothing else
🖼 References — a real example of good and poor output, so AI knows what you mean by "good"

A prompt tells AI what to do. On the bootcamp, you will learn how to write a spec which tells AI how to think and work.

The result: AI tools and outputs built from your sources, by your method, to your standard.
