AI for L&D and HR: Build Better Training, Faster
Aki Wijesundara, PhD

Use AI to build better training, and actually understand how it works.
You've been told to use AI, and handed a list of prompts. But the output comes back generic, you're not sure when to trust it, and none of it adds up to training you'd put in front of real people.
The problem isn't the tool. It's that nobody grounded you in how AI actually works. This course does. You'll understand it well enough to use it with judgment, put it to work on your real HR and L&D tasks, and build a training programme end to end.
- Get grounded in how AI works, and where it helps and where it doesn't
- Use AI for everyday work: policies, comms, research, and people data
- Build a real programme: needs analysis, objectives, content, and assessments
- Create microlearning, job aids, slides, and role-plays without a designer
This is hands-on. You'll bring a real training need and leave with it half-built. TAI courses are built and taught by practitioners who ship with these tools every week. 5,000+ students trained. Alumni from OpenAI, Google, Meta, McKinsey, and BCG.
Stop generating generic AI filler. Start building training that works.

Who this course is for
The L&D Specialist. You design and deliver training. You want AI to speed up the build without dropping your quality bar.
The HR Generalist. You wear many hats and own people work end to end. You want AI carrying the load, with your judgment intact.
The People Team of One. You run L&D or HR on limited time and budget. You want to do more, and do it well, without more headcount.
Prerequisites
No technical background needed
Everything is in plain English. Show up with zero AI experience and leave with real, usable training assets.
Bring a real training need
Pick one training request or programme you actually have to build. You'll work on it live and leave with it half-done.
An AI tool account
Have access to an AI assistant. The short pre-work walks you through setup so the live session is all hands-on.
What's included
Live sessions
Learn directly from Aki Wijesundara, PhD & Manu Jayawardana in a real-time, interactive format.
Build a real programme, live
Bring a real training need and leave the session with it half-built: one module, an assessment, and a job aid.
A reusable AI toolkit for L&D and HR
The prompts, templates, and workflows from the session, ready to drop into your own work the same week.
Lifetime access to recordings and materials
Revisit the session, slides, and resources anytime. Everything is shared with every student.
Certificate of completion
A shareable certificate to mark the skills you built, for your profile and your team.
Taught live by practitioners
Three hands-on hours with Aki and Manu, who build and ship with these tools every week.
Work-along, not watch-along
You use AI on your own real HR and L&D tasks as we go, and leave with drafts you can keep, not just notes.
Maven Guarantee
Your purchase is backed by the Maven Guarantee.
