Certificate in AI Essentials
Move from manual work to faster, smarter, AI-powered productivity.
Most people use AI the way they use a search bar – one question, one answer, move on. That's why the results feel underwhelming.
This is a practical AI course for professionals who want to save time, improve work quality, and become more valuable in the workplace. No coding required.
Over 3 days, you'll learn to brief AI properly, work across the leading tools, and build reusable workflows you can apply to your own job from the Monday after. Whether you're a busy professional, an entrepreneur, or part of a marketing or operations team, you'll leave able to hand off the repetitive parts of your week to AI – and keep the quality.
Around 90% of the workforce is not AI-proficient. Most people are stuck at “I've tried ChatGPT once or twice.” This course moves you past that.
Eligible for SkillsFuture Credit (SFC) and NTUC UTAP. Up to 70% course fee subsidy.
