Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any technical background to take this course?

Not at all. The course is designed for all levels and starts from the very beginning. Whether you've never touched an AI tool or you're already prompting daily, the modular structure lets you skip ahead or dive deep based on where you're at. There's no coding, no command lines, and no assumed knowledge.

How is this different from other AI courses and tutorials?

Most tutorials show you one tool doing one thing. This course builds genuine capability across the full AI landscape — from prompt engineering and image generation through to agentic workflows and vibe coding. You get hands-on projects, downloadable cheat sheets, and real-world workflows that connect the dots between tools. It's the difference between watching someone cook a single dish and actually learning to cook.

How long do I have access to the course materials?

Your access lasts for the duration of your subscription. AI moves fast, and the course content is regularly updated as tools evolve. When a major platform changes or a new capability drops, the relevant lessons get refreshed so your learning stays current.

What tools does the course cover, and do I need to pay for them?

The course covers ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Midjourney, ChatGPT Images 2.0, Nano Banana Pro, Zapier, Make, Gemini Omni, and Runway, among others. Many of these have free tiers that are perfectly adequate for the course exercises. Some professional tools like Midjourney require a paid subscription, but the course always highlights free alternatives where they exist. You won't need to spend hundreds on software to get value from this.

Can I take individual modules, or do I have to go through everything in order?

Each of the eight modules is designed to stand on its own, so you can jump straight to the topics that matter most to you — say, AI Image Generation or Agentic Workflows — and come back to earlier modules whenever you like. That said, the course is sequenced deliberately, so working through it in order gives you the strongest foundation.

What's the live lesson option, and how does it work?

The live online course covers the same core material in an instructor-led format with real-time Q&A, group exercises, and direct feedback from Rupert. It's $220 AUD ($150 USD) per person for the course. It's a great option if you learn better with structure and accountability, or if you want to ask questions as you go.

What will I actually be able to do after completing this course?

You'll be able to write effective prompts across multiple AI platforms, generate and edit images with AI, build automated workflows using tools like Zapier and Make, create simple applications through vibe coding, and develop a personal AI strategy for your work. The goal is practical capability, not just awareness — you'll finish with workflows you can use immediately.

Who is this course actually for? I'm worried it might be too basic (or too advanced) for me.

The course genuinely works across experience levels. Complete beginners start with the AI Foundations module and build up gradually. If you're already comfortable with ChatGPT, you'll likely move quickly through the early modules and find the depth you're looking for in Prompt Engineering, Agentic Workflows, or Vibe Coding. Feedback comes from students across the full spectrum, from first-timers to people who've been using AI for over a year.

How does this compare to university or TAFE AI courses?

Most formal education programmes focus on either the computer science behind AI or high-level business strategy. This course sits in the practical middle ground: it's about using AI tools effectively in your actual work, right now. It's regularly updated (unlike a fixed curriculum) and focused entirely on applied skills rather than theory for theory's sake.

What kind of support is available if I get stuck?

Every lesson includes clear walkthroughs and the course is designed so you can follow along step by step. If you hit a wall, you can reach out via the contact page for direct support. The downloadable cheat sheets and prompt templates also serve as quick references you can come back to whenever you need a refresher.
