Who this is for

Chartered AccountantsDrafting, summarising and cross-checking without letting an unchecked figure reach a client file.
Company SecretariesWorking through long compliance documents, minutes and notices faster, with a review step you can defend.
HR managersPolicies, job descriptions, communication and analysis, with care around fairness and personal data.
Small business ownersCustomer replies, planning, marketing copy and routine admin, handled in less time.

What you get

The programme is built around doing, not watching.

8 live sessions

Two sessions on each of four weekends, taught live with room for your questions.

Hands-on exercises

Every session has a task you can try on your own, non-confidential work material.

A repeatable verification habit

A simple routine for checking AI output before you rely on it, shared and practised throughout.

Tool-agnostic skills

You learn methods that work across AI tools, so the course does not depend on any one product.

Clear limits

What AI is good for at work, where it fails, and which tasks and data should never be handed to it.

A working checklist

Take-away worksheets for your own workflow, prepared during the course.

The idea underneath: a human verifies

Every session returns to one principle from the Supervised Intelligence Model: AI output is a draft, and a person is responsible for checking it.

Ask well

Give AI clear context and a clear task, so there is less to fix.

Verify

Check facts, figures, sources and reasoning against something you trust.

Decide and own it

You approve, change or reject the output. The responsibility stays with you.

What we cover, weekend by weekend

An outline. The detailed plan may be refined before the first cohort starts.

Weekend 1

How AI tools actually work, what they are good at, and how to ask for what you need.

Weekend 2

Reading, drafting and analysing documents and data, and catching errors before they travel.

Weekend 3

Building repeatable workflows for your own role, with privacy and confidentiality in view.

Weekend 4

Questions

Do I need a technical background?

No. The course assumes you can use a browser and a word processor. There is no coding.

Which AI tools will we use?

The course is tool-agnostic. You learn methods that carry across tools. Specific tools and any free options will be announced to the waitlist before enrolment.

When does it start and what does it cost?

Dates are to be announced. The founding price is Rs 4,999 for the first 10 seats, and the price is Rs 7,999 after that. Waitlist members hear about dates and seats first. Joining the waitlist is free and commits you to nothing.

Will I need to share confidential work data?

No. Exercises use sample or non-confidential material, and one of the lessons is how to decide what should never be pasted into an AI tool.

Does the course give legal, tax or compliance advice?

No. It teaches how to use AI tools and how to check their output. It does not give legal, tax, accounting or compliance advice, and the instructor does not take on professional work through this programme.

Is there a certificate or professional credit?

Not confirmed. No CPE, CPD or other professional credit is claimed at this stage. Any certificate arrangement will be stated clearly before enrolment opens.
