02 What makes this different
A prompt you have not measured is a guess.
Most AI courses hand you a list of magic phrases. Most of those phrases do not survive testing. This program teaches you to check them yourself, on a spreadsheet, with a free account.
03 What a session is
90 minutes. Five parts. Every single day.
No mystery about what you are signing up for. Here is the exact shape of every one of the 148 sessions.

05 What you walk away with
A certificate that says what you actually did.
Ten course certificates, four path certificates, one program certificate. Each one names the hours, the sessions, and what was assessed.
05.1 Printed on every course certificate
This assessment was not supervised.
That sentence is printed on every course certificate. Most online AI certificates do not tell you how they were assessed. We do. The one credential backed by a live, supervised defense says so too.
06 What it costs you
A phone and a free account. That is the whole toolchain.
- Free accounts on the chat apps you already have. No API keys, no installs, no card.
- Every session is completable on a phone, deliverable included. Not a reduced version. The same work.
- Every prompt is a tap to copy. Nobody retypes a paragraph on a phone.
- A phone-only learner earns exactly the same certificate.
07 Who this is for
This is for you if
- You use AI most days and are not sure when to trust it.
- You have to explain or govern this for other people.
- Your work is words, pictures, documents or decisions.
- You have never written a line of code and do not intend to.
This is not for you if
- You want a list of prompts to paste.
- You want to build models or write code.
- You want a certificate without doing the work.
