Questions people ask
I’ve never used AI. Is this too advanced?
No. AI Foundations is written for complete beginners. If you can send an email, you can do this course.
Do I need to pay for Claude or ChatGPT?
No. Everything works on the free versions. In Module 2 we help you decide whether a paid plan is worth it for you. For many people it isn’t, at least not straight away.
Claude or ChatGPT: which does the course use?
Both. Every step shows you how to do it in each one, and we help you choose. You can also follow along with just one.
How long does it take?
About 3 hours in total, in short lessons. Most people finish in two weeks doing 15–20 minutes a day.
What’s a Course Pack?
A small file you add to Claude or ChatGPT. Your AI then becomes a patient tutor that runs the course with you, answers your questions and checks your progress.
What if I get stuck?
Your Course Pack tutor can help any time: just tell it “I’m stuck”. And you can always email us.
What if it’s not for me?
You’re covered by our 14-day money-back guarantee. Just email us.
