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


📊 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

❓ 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.
