20 hours. Four weeks. A credential that proves you can apply AI strategically.
Live, instructor-led training for experienced professionals who want practical skills, not another video course to complete alone.
AI tools are available to everyone. The ability to use them well is not.
Most professionals have experimented with ChatGPT. Fewer have learned to apply it to work that requires judgment, context, and knowing what questions to ask. Research shows employees with structured AI training report 40% higher productivity, yet nearly half of AI users say they’re unclear on how to get there.
This program bridges that gap. You’ll learn to use AI as a strategic tool by pairing your professional expertise with AI’s capabilities. The professionals who benefit most from AI aren’t those who use it most often. They’re the ones who know when to use it, what to ask, and how to evaluate whether the output meets their standards.
You’re learning alongside 19 other professionals with an instructor who can answer your questions and evaluate your work as you go.
This is not a lecture series. You’ll work directly with ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney, and ElevenLabs during every class.
You’re not learning AI fundamentals. You’re learning how to apply these tools to the expertise and judgment you’ve built over your career.
A capstone project solving a real problem in your field, plus an NJIT credential you can add to LinkedIn immediately.
