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

Most AI training teaches you to build courses faster. This bootcamp starts with a harder question: should you be building a course at all?

Faster is easy. Ask AI to "write 5 learning objectives for a sales training" and it will — but they'll be generic, inconsistent, and you'll spend as much time fixing them as you'd have spent writing them yourself.

Smarter is different. Smarter means building a tool that diagnoses the real problem first — is this a learning problem, a process problem, a management problem? — and then designs the right solution. A course if that's what's needed. A job aid, a feedback tool, or a coaching bot if it isn't.

Whether you're designing, administering, reporting, or leading: this bootcamp teaches everyone in the learning organisation to use AI to ask better questions, make better decisions, and build better solutions — not just work faster.

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.

  • Pick a use case, e.g. SME transcript summariser, needs analysis synthesiser, problem diagnosis app — or bring your own

  • Build a prompt template, GPT, app or agent(s) using the tried & tested FRAME™️ process

  • Stress-test it with typical and edge use cases, fix what breaks, and ship a tool you'll use at work on Monday
