ChatGPT can do far more than answer questions. Used effectively, it can help you research information, work with documents, create content and images, analyse files and build repeatable ways of working that save time in everyday workplace tasks.
This practical, hands-on course gives you a solid foundation in using ChatGPT confidently and effectively at work. You’ll learn how to write better prompts, work with uploaded files and documents, use Projects to organise ongoing work, create and refine AI-generated images, and customise ChatGPT to suit the way you work.
You’ll also explore more advanced capabilities, including building Custom GPTs, connecting ChatGPT to other apps, scheduling recurring tasks and using Agent Mode for multi-step work. Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to use AI responsibly, including checking facts, protecting confidential information, recognising potential bias and knowing when human judgement needs to take the lead.

Note About Different Versions
Why Bring Your Own Laptop?
Personal Comfort and Efficiency
Working on your own laptop means you’ll be instantly familiar with your keyboard layout and system preferences. No need to spend 20 minutes figuring out why the volume button is launching the calculator instead. This familiarity allows you to focus entirely on learning new skills rather than wondering why someone set the desktop background to dancing hamsters.
Access to Your Complete Work Environment
Your laptop comes with your personal setup of applications, customised settings, and existing files. Think of it as bringing your digital home with you, minus the dirty dishes in the sink. This means you can immediately apply what you learn to your real work documents and seamlessly integrate new skills into your daily workflow.
Practical Setup
During the training, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds, your personal laptop connected to our professional training setup. Each workspace is equipped with a 27-inch monitor (perfect for those who squint at their phones even with reading glasses), full-size USB-A keyboard, and USB-A mouse.
Software Accessibility
With your own laptop, you’ll have immediate access to your licensed software and saved preferences. This is particularly important for applications where having your existing login credentials readily available ensures a smooth training experience. No need to remember that complex password you created after your third coffee of the day.
Don’t Have A Laptop?
No problem! We’ll provide a fully equipped laptop for your training session. Contact us in advance, and we’ll make sure you’re ready to go. We promise it won’t be running Windows XP – remember those days?
