A zero-jargon, zero-code introduction to Artificial Intelligence for anyone who wants to understand what AI actually is, how it works, and how to use it confidently in everyday life and work. By Week 4, students have used AI tools across writing, research, image creation, and automation — and can explain AI clearly to anyone in the room.
Highlights
Students explore three major AI platforms for the first time, run a set of guided tasks on each, and produce a personal "AI World Map" — a simple one-page document showing where AI already exists in their daily life, which tools they tried, and one way they could use AI to make their work or studies easier right now.
Students build a practical personal prompt library of 10 tested prompts they will actually use — covering professional emails, study help, content ideas, task planning, and personal productivity. Each prompt is documented with the technique used and the result it produces, creating a ready-to-use reference they keep after the course.
Students use AI tools to produce a practical productivity pack tailored to their own work or studies: an AI-written CV or LinkedIn About section, a research summary from an uploaded document, three AI-generated images for a real or fictional project, and a one-week personal schedule built with AI assistance.
Students compile their three previous projects into a clean, shareable AI showcase document — a one-stop portfolio piece that demonstrates what they have learned and how they have applied it. They also write a short personal AI plan outlining five specific ways they will use AI in their work or studies going forward, and record a two-minute video walking through their showcase.
A completed showcase document and a personal AI plan are required to complete the course.
| Week | Project | Output |

| Week 2 | Personal Prompt Starter Kit | 10-Prompt Library · Before & After Examples |
| Week 3 | AI Productivity Pack | CV · Research Summary · Images · Schedule |
| Week 4 | My AI Showcase | Full Portfolio Doc · AI Plan · Loom Video |
Students finish the course with a clear understanding of AI, hands-on experience across five tool categories, and a personal plan for making AI work for them immediately.
No code, no technical background, no prior experience with any tool. If a student can send a WhatsApp message, they can start this course on day one.
Week 1 is devoted entirely to building a solid mental model of what AI is and how it works — so that everything students do in Weeks 2, 3, and 4 makes sense rather than feeling like magic tricks they cannot explain.
Every subtopic and every project connects directly to something students face in real life — writing emails, preparing for interviews, summarising documents, generating images for a presentation. There is no abstract theory without a practical application.
Introduction to AI is designed to feed directly into AI & Prompt Engineering, Virtual Assistant, Personal Branding & Online Presence, and every other LTN course — because AI fluency is now a foundational skill across all of them.
