Course Overview:

The Artificial Intelligence and Its Practical Applications in the Workplace course is an institutionally focused programme designed to help employees and managers understand artificial intelligence and apply it effectively, responsibly, and securely in everyday work. The course moves beyond general awareness by demonstrating how AI tools can support report writing, professional correspondence, document summarisation, information analysis, idea generation, work planning, and decision support.

Participants will explore generative AI and distinguish it from traditional automation, machine learning, and data analytics. They will also develop practical prompt engineering skills, learning how to define the role, context, task, constraints, audience, and required output when interacting with AI systems. The programme explains how to use ChatGPT and similar generative AI tools while critically reviewing their outputs for accuracy, relevance, bias, and reliability.

A defining feature of the course is its integration of practical AI use with institutional governance. Participants examine roles and responsibilities, acceptable and restricted uses, risk classification, data protection, human oversight, output approval, and accountability. These areas align with recognised AI ethics principles, including fairness, privacy and security, reliability, transparency, explainability, and responsibility.

The course also considers AI’s impact on tasks, skills, job quality, and workplace organisation, emphasising that AI should augment human capability rather than replace professional judgement or human accountability.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Explain the fundamental concepts of artificial intelligence and generative AI.
Distinguish AI from machine learning, traditional automation, and data analytics.
Identify workplace tasks that can be automated or augmented using AI.
Use AI tools to prepare reports, correspondence, summaries, and structured content.
Apply prompt engineering techniques to obtain clearer and more relevant outputs.
Construct prompts using a defined role, context, task, constraints, and output format.
Use ChatGPT in the workplace while critically reviewing its responses.
Improve work planning, meeting preparation, documentation, and follow-up activities.

Training Methodology:

The course uses an applied learning methodology that combines clear conceptual instruction, guided practice, workplace scenarios, and institutional case analysis. Each unit begins with a concise explanation of a relevant concept before participants apply it to a realistic workplace task, such as drafting a report, summarising a document, preparing professional correspondence, analysing information, or developing an action plan.

Participants will complete structured exercises in prompt engineering and progressively improve their prompts by adding context, defining the intended audience, specifying constraints, and clarifying the required output. They will compare initial and revised outputs and assess them against defined criteria, including accuracy, clarity, relevance, consistency, and reliability.

Group-based case studies will examine institutional uses of artificial intelligence. Participants will identify responsible parties, classify risk levels, determine what information may or may not be shared with AI systems, and establish suitable review and approval controls. Cases will also address bias, weak transparency, overreliance on automation, and the inappropriate use of personal or sensitive information.

Reflection and feedback sessions will allow participants to revise their prompts, improve AI-generated outputs, and identify points where human intervention is essential. This methodology reflects the growing importance of AI literacy, which requires not only effective use of AI tools but also an understanding of their limitations, potential bias, privacy implications, and misuse risks.

FAQ:

What qualifications or prior experience are required before attending the course?

No technical qualifications, programming experience, or data science background are required. The course is designed for employees, managers, and non-technical professionals who want to understand how artificial intelligence can be used in the workplace. Basic familiarity with computers, internet use, and standard office applications is sufficient.

How long is each daily session, and what is the total course duration?

Each daily session lasts approximately four to five hours, including breaks and interactive activities. The course runs for five days, with a total duration of approximately 20 to 25 training hours.

What does risk classification mean in the context of institutional AI use?

Risk classification involves evaluating an AI use case according to the type of data it processes, the significance of its outputs, its effect on employees or stakeholders, and the likelihood of error, bias, or harm. A low-risk use may involve summarising non-confidential information, while higher-risk uses may include analysing employee data or supporting recruitment, performance, or eligibility decisions. AI ethics principles recognise different risk levels and emphasise that monitoring and controls should be proportionate to the potential impact of the system.

How This Course Differs from Other AI Courses:

Artificial Intelligence and Its Practical Applications in the Workplace differs from general AI courses that focus primarily on definitions, technical concepts, or demonstrations of popular platforms. This programme is structured around real workplace responsibilities, including report preparation, professional correspondence, document summarisation, meeting coordination, information analysis, and work planning.

The course also treats artificial intelligence as an institutional capability rather than merely an individual productivity tool. Participants learn to distinguish personal experimentation from authorised organisational use and to define responsibilities, classify risks, protect information, and review outputs before they are formally adopted or communicated.

Another distinguishing feature is the integration of prompt engineering with governance. Participants do not only learn how to produce stronger prompts; they also learn what information should not be entered into public tools, when an output requires approval, how its use should be documented, and who remains accountable for the final result.

The course places the human user at the centre of AI-supported work. It reinforces the principle that artificial intelligence should complement professional expertise and human decision-making rather than weaken critical thinking, autonomy, or responsibility. This is consistent with a human-centred approach to workplace transformation, in which technology supports human capability while institutions actively manage its risks.
