"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 — and builds the tools that do it

🏆 Join the #1-rated AI bootcamp for L&D, with L&D pros from orgs like Google, KPMG, LinkedIn, Arizona State University & the UN.

_____

Most AI training teaches you to make content faster. Alumni here say this bootcamp changed how they think — from "how do I use AI to do this quicker?" to "how do I build AI tools that 10x my impact?"

You will:

✨ Sort your L&D tasks into AI's three roles — Operator (AI does it; something else checks), Apprentice (AI does it; you check a sample), Advisor (AI informs; you decide) — using one question you'll apply every week.

✨ Build & stress-test proper AI tools — with a "brain" inside: your method, your quality bar, decades of learning science. Then test against real cases until it holds up — and see exactly why it beats anything a quick prompt produces.

✨ Ship 4 working tools for your real work — with personalised feedback from me on every build (the thing alumni love most!).

Four 90-minute live classes later — whether you design, deliver, administer or lead — you'll leave with the method you need for your next 100 AI builds.

What you’ll learn

You'll learn how to decide when and how to use AI (for both you and your learners), across your end to end workflow.
