The practical version. How to think about the questions, and who in your organisation actually answers them. It teaches judgement and where to look, not rules to memorise.
Who it’s for
Anyone using these tools on real work, and managers deciding what their team should and should not do with them.
What you need first
AI Foundations is assumed. The rest is judgement rather than knowledge.

- Explain who is accountable for a wrong answer, and why it is you
- Decide when using one of these tools is worth disclosing
- Find your own organisation's position instead of guessing at it
- Have the conversation with your team without it becoming a warning

Questions about this course
- Does this tell me what the law says?
- No, and deliberately so. Obligations differ by country, industry and employer, and a confident wrong sentence about the law does real damage. The course teaches how to think about the question and points you at the person in your organisation whose job it is to answer it.
- Is this a compliance course?
- No. There is no policy to sign and nothing here satisfies a training requirement on its own. It is the practical judgement that a policy assumes you already have.
- Is it useful if my workplace has no AI policy yet?
- That is the case it is written for. Most people are making these decisions without guidance, and the course is about deciding well in exactly that situation — including how to raise it.
- Is it worth buying for a whole team?
- This is the one most teams take together, because the value is in everybody drawing the same line rather than each person guessing. An admin can allocate it to named people from the Team page.
