What we cover
Hands-on throughout. You work on your own tasks.
Building AI awareness
How large language models generate text, common pitfalls such as over-trusting output, generic phrasing and invented facts, and where human judgment must lead. Activity: a quick quiz spotting the hallucination, the filler and the line that needed a human edit.
Emails that connect: structure, tone and reader personality
Structuring emails with the ROAD framework, matching tone to the reader (DISC), choosing formal or casual, and handling pushback and bad news. Activity: rewrite one email with ROAD, then adapt it for two different DISC types.
From brainstorm to draft: reports and proposals that persuade
Using AI to brainstorm persuasion angles, turn jargon-heavy documents into plain versions for different readers, and cut low-information words. Activity: simplify a jargon-dense paragraph for a non-expert reader.
Quality control, ethics and workflow
Fact-checking AI output, confidentiality and data handling (what not to paste, anonymisation, company AI policy, output ownership). Activity: a "Spot the Risk" document audit.
