The three-month programme
The modules.
Skills, Security and Setup, each taught at three levels. Basic and intermediate run side by side inside the twelve weeks, and advanced follows for those ready for it.
AI Edge teaches three AI training subjects, Skills, Security and Setup, at basic, intermediate and advanced level. The assessment at the start of the three-month programme places each person at basic or intermediate, and advanced is a follow-on for those ready for it.
Skills
Getting real answers out of AI instead of generic ones.
- Prompting that works, and iterating instead of accepting the first answer
- Giving the tool enough context to be useful on your work
- Which model to reach for, and how hard to make it think
For: Anyone who has an AI tool open and is still getting answers they would not send to a client.
BasicIn the programme
Prompting, giving the tool context, iterating, using projects, choosing the model and effort level, and fixing poor output.
IntermediateIn the programme
Advanced prompting and context, reusable instructions, turning a task that works into a reusable skill, and using AI inside the tools you already run.
AdvancedFollow-on
Advanced workflows, automation, and building AI agents.
The difference. Basic gets a good answer every time. Intermediate stops having to ask for it again. Advanced makes the work happen without asking.
Security
Knowing what is safe to put in, and judging it mid-task.
- What can and cannot go into these tools, in plain English
- How to make that judgement in the middle of real work, not by reading a policy afterwards
- The settings that decide where your data goes
- How your draft AI policy works day to day
For: Everyone, before real client work goes into the tool. This is the module that matters most in an accountancy.
BasicIn the programme
What can and cannot go in, judging it mid-task, the data settings, and configuring the platform safely.
IntermediateIn the programme
Safe practice once AI reaches beyond the chat window: which connectors and integrations are safe to turn on, what each can read, and keeping shared work safe.
AdvancedFollow-on
Security and governance for AI that runs on its own: access and permissions for automations and agents.
The difference. Basic protects what a person types in. Intermediate protects what the tool can reach. Advanced governs what runs without a person watching.
Setup
Building it around the work you actually do.
- Setting the tool your team has chosen up properly in the first place
- Projects set up per person, around the tasks they repeat
- Context and instruction documents, so the tool already knows the business and your standards
- Working from a real task rather than a demo
For: Anyone whose week has a repeated job in it: proposals, reports, write-ups, chasing, formatting.
BasicIn the programme
A project per person around the tasks they repeat, with context documents, instruction documents and templates, built from a real task.
IntermediateIn the programme
Turning one person's project into something the whole team reuses, and connecting the platform to the systems you already run.
AdvancedFollow-on
Deeper integration and automation, with agents built into how the business runs.
The difference. Basic sets up one person's tool for their own work. Intermediate shares it across the team and connects it. Advanced builds it into your systems.

This is the set we teach today, and it grows. If your audit turns up something none of these covers, we build the module for your team rather than sell you the nearest fit.

Skills, then Security, then Setup, all at basic level. Skills gets someone from generic answers to usable ones on their own work. Security comes next, before any real client work goes into the tool. Setup then builds the tool around the tasks they repeat, which is where the hour is saved. The draft AI policy is in place from the audit report before any of it starts.
Everyone covers all three, but at their own level. The assessment places each person at basic or intermediate, and the two levels run side by side: the same subject in the same week, in separate sessions. Someone already confident is taught the intermediate version rather than sat through the basics.
Then the audit will probably place more of your team at intermediate. Most teams that already use ChatGPT get generic answers from it because it knows nothing about their business; Setup fixes that with per-person projects and context documents, and the intermediate level makes it repeatable across the team and connects it to your other systems. Security still runs for everyone handling client data. We also ask you to pick one tool for the whole team, so if that is ChatGPT, everything is taught on ChatGPT.
Real work. Each 45-minute session sets a task on the person's own work, a written review seven days later checks how it went, and the next session opens with a recap. At week four everyone gets the assessment call again, so the owner sees the time saved so far. Sessions are weekly in the first month and every other week after that, online, which keeps a working team at its desks.
Which of these does your team need?
That is what the audit answers. Fifteen minutes first, to work out whether your team is the right fit at all.
