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

Become the person in your L&D team who knows what AI should do — & builds the tools that do it

🏆 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 teaches you how to use AI tools or make content faster.

This bootcamp teaches you something more valuable: how to look at real L&D work, decide where AI can genuinely improve it, and build something that does.

Over 4 weeks, you'll bring your own work into the bootcamp and use it to:

Map where AI actually adds value — break down your workflow task by task and identify what AI should take off you 🐒, make faster ⚡, help you do better 💎 or make possible for the first time 👻.

Build AI specs, not just prompts — use my Four Rs framework to make AI behave like an apprentice who follows your rules, not an expert who follows its own.

Build and test 4 tools for your real work — one each week, with personalised feedback from me on every submission.

You'll leave with four working tools, a clear picture of how AI should change your own role & a method you can use for your next 100 AI builds.

What you’ll learn

Learn how to decide where AI adds value, how to build AI tools for your real L&D work, and how to test whether they actually improve it.

  • Map every task in a phase of your workflow and tag each one: take it off me, make it faster, help me do it better, make it possible

  • Score tasks on frequency, pain and who'd notice — so you build where the payoff is, not where the hype is

  • Surface the ghosts: the tasks that should happen but never do because they're too big or complex

  • Check a task is buildable with three questions, then write a hypothesis with a countable pass mark in it — before you build

  • Write a product spec using my Four Rs framework, to make AI run to your method & standard, not its own

  • Build four tools live in class, one per phase of L&D: analysis, design, development, evaluation

  • Test each tool against real cases and the check the task already has — the template, the SME, the learner

  • Read the results against the pass mark you set — and find where the tool skipped, invented or averaged

  • Learn how to scale succesful tools using Projects, Skills, Agents or Apps

  • Spot the tasks & decisions you should never hand to AI — modality, scope, whether it should be a course at all

  • Choose the form — prompt, Project, Skill, Agent or App — and where the human check sits at each step up

  • Chain tools into a system and place a check at every join, for quality and accountability

  • Build learner-facing tools — a practice coach, a tutor, feedback bot etc — using my Four Rs framework to optimise reliability & impact

  • Decide where AI sits in the learning experience: what it can hold learners to, and what a human still has to see

  • Test a learner-facing tool with synthetic AI learners before it goes anywhere near a real learner

  • Ground every claim you make in the research — the failure modes, the evidence for each fix, and what's still unproven

  • Show your team a working tool, its test results and its pass rate, not a slide about potential

  • Take back a method anyone can follow — map, tag, validate, hypothesise, specify, test, scale

  • Learning Designers, IDs & SMEs — with or without formal ID training: get a reliable method for what to build with AI, how & why

  • L&D Leaders & Partners — you need to make defensible calls about where AI fits your team's workflow, and to raise quality, not just speed

  • L&D Ops, Admin & Reporting — many of your tasks are exactly the kind AI can own or draft; learn which ones, and how to automate them safely
