About the programme

A five-day intensive introduction to AI for school leavers, career starters and anyone new to AI. By the end of the week, you will understand what AI actually does, how to use it safely, and how to talk about it in a university application or job interview.

Every session is delivered live by Charles Nwankpa. You get his full attention in a small group, not a recorded video and a chat channel.

What you will walk away with

By Friday afternoon, you will be able to do all of this.

These are not vague promises. They are the specific skills you will practise and demonstrate during the week.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Explain what AI is, how it works, and where its real limits lie, in plain English, not jargon.

  2. 02

    Use safely

    Use AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT effectively through prompt engineering, without falling for the hype.

  3. 03

    Spot risks

    Identify bias, data quality issues, and ethical risks in AI systems before they become problems.

  4. 04

    Know the rules

    Describe how the UK actually regulates AI, through existing regulators and the data protection law that already applies, in plain English. Knowledge that already sets you apart from most candidates.

  5. 05

    Build something

    Complete and present a small AI-enabled project to a non-technical audience, start to finish.

  6. 06

    Own your CV

    Write about AI skills confidently on a CV, personal statement, or LinkedIn profile, because you actually have them.

On completion

A Gen3Block digital badge you can share on LinkedIn and your CV, verifiable by employers.

After the programme

Join a small learning community to keep asking questions, share what you build and keep growing.
