The workplace is evolving rapidly, with Artificial Intelligence transforming the way organisations communicate, analyse data, and deliver presentations. Our AI in the Workplace Series is designed for individuals who already possess foundational digital and IT skills and are looking to advance their expertise using Microsoft Office applications alongside modern AI tools.
These short courses combine professional digital productivity skills with the latest AI-assisted workflows used in today’s workplace. Learners will gain experience in creating professional documents, analysing data, automating tasks, and developing impactful presentations using Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and AI-powered tools such as ChatGPT.
Each course within the series is delivered across three sessions. The first two sessions focus on developing and strengthening advanced skills within the software itself, ensuring learners build confidence in the core Microsoft Office tools and techniques. The third session then introduces how Artificial Intelligence can be integrated into these workflows to improve productivity, support creativity, automate tasks, and enhance workplace efficiency.
Each course is designed to provide practical knowledge, workplace-relevant skills, and confidence in using AI responsibly and effectively.
