🧠 FAQ: Everything You’ve Wanted to Ask About Learning AI (But Didn’t Want to Google)

Published 20 days ago • 2 min read

📊 Practical, hands-on experience in using AI tools is the biggest predictor of success.

Hello Reader,

Let’s be real:

Everyone’s talking about AI, but most professionals are still experimenting blindly.

If you’ve been wondering whether an AI workshop is worth your time — this one’s for you.

Here are the most common questions I have been getting about the AI F.A.S.T. Class Series — and straight answers from someone who’s seen hundreds of professionals go from “AI-curious” to AI-confident.

❓ What is the AI FAST Class Series?

It’s a four-part, hands-on training pathway that helps you turn automation into alignment.

You’ll go from learning how to write effective prompts to building full workflows and using AI as a thinking partner.

FAST = Foundations, Applications, Scaling, Thinking.

Each session builds on the last:

  • ✏️ Foundations – learn how to prompt like a pro.
  • 🧩 Applications – design your first AI workflows.
  • ⚙️ Scaling – automate what matters.
  • 🧠 Thinking – turn insight into advantage.

❓ Is this technical? Do I need coding skills?

Nope. Zero code. This is built for knowledge workers, not developers.

If you can write an email, you can write a prompt. You’ll practice directly inside tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and NotebookLM — using your own laptop.

❓ What makes this different from all the other AI webinars online?

Three things: hands-on, interactive, human-first.

Most AI training tells you what AI can do. I show you how to actually use it — guided exercises, frameworks, and prompts you can take with you and reuse.

I focus on making AI your first instinct, not your last resort.

❓ What will I walk away with?

  • A repeatable framework for writing powerful prompts
  • Templates and workflows you can copy into your own business
  • Confidence to use AI as a teammate, not a threat
  • A few “holy-wow” moments when you see what’s possible

❓ Who is it for?

Professionals who:

  • Feel like they’re falling behind in AI adoption
  • Want to work smarter, not harder
  • Need a structured way to integrate AI safely into daily work

I've trained marketers, project managers, accountants, engineers, HR teams, and board members — empowering all of them to leave with a system that fits their real work.

❓ Do I need to attend all 4 workshops?

  • No, you can attend any workshop individually. They do build on one another, so a sequential progression is recommended, but not required.

❓ How much does it cost?

Each half-day workshop is $350 + GST per person. You can join all four for $1,400 + GST, and you’ll graduate with a digital badge, a credential recognised by LinkedIn and the Open Badges Protocol.

(I also run in-house sessions for teams — contact me about group rates.)

❓ Where and when?

📍 Christchurch, NZ – 146a Lichfield St, The Loft Coworking

🕐 Full series every Wednesday in November 1-4:30pm
💻 Also available on Zoom
Next intake dates are listed at
👉 agenticintelligence.co.nz/training/fast

❓ What if I’m still not sure?

Register for just the first session — Foundations of AI — and see for yourself.

If you'd like to take the entire F.A.S.T. Class in person or on Zoom I have public workshops available, and I am available for private workshops at your venue when I have availability.

🤖 “There will be two types of companies in the future: those who are leading with AI, and those who are irrelevant.” - Jeetu Patel, Cisco Hello Reader, There’s a growing difference between people who use AI and people who think with it. That’s the difference between overwhelm and opportunity. Between playing catch-up and setting the pace. The AI F.A.S.T. Class Series is built to bridge that gap.

🎓 “AI might take some jobs, but if you don’t learn AI, how are you going to be competitive?" - Michael Park Hello Reader, What I hear from people, when they want to improve their AI skills, is that they don't know where to start. Because there's so many different tools, that can do so many different things, it's overwhelming. So they just pick one tool to learn how to do a thing or two, but they don't have a structured learning plan to grow. I think people are probably worried about falling...
