Yes. Everything Upskailed offers is designed for people who aren’t technical. You don’t need to know how to code, and you won’t learn to code. You’ll learn how to work with AI tools practically: prompting, research, content creation, workflow design. If you can use email and a web browser, you have the technical skills you need.

It depends on where you are and what you need. AI Foundations is a good starting point if you’re new to AI or want to build a solid base. AI Mastery is a live six-week cohort for people who already use ChatGPT or Claude and want to get considerably more from it, built around their own work. The Think Tank is ongoing advisory and peer support for professionals who want to keep sharpening their practice after Foundations and Mastery. Corporate Training is for teams and organizations. Consulting and Advisory is strategic work with Jonathon for professionals and teams with specific challenges. If you’re not sure, reach out and Jonathon will help you figure it out.

That’s common, and it’s a great starting point. Many of the professionals who get the most out of the training arrive already using ChatGPT or similar tools but sense there’s more they’re not seeing. The program builds on what you already know and helps you discover capabilities you hadn’t considered. If you’re already experienced, AI Mastery or Consulting might be a better fit than Foundations.

You’ll need access to at least one AI platform. The training covers multiple platforms including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini so you can learn to choose the right tool for each task. A paid subscription to one of these, around $20 to $30 a month, gives you the best experience, but you can start with free versions. There’s no required software beyond that.

The specific tools will keep evolving, but the skills you learn transfer across platforms and updates. Upskailed teaches you how to think about AI, how to prompt effectively, how to evaluate output quality, and how to build workflows. Those skills apply whether you’re using today’s models or whatever comes next.

Yes. The training covers practical applications like research and analysis, content creation, workflow design, and working with AI on tasks you already do. Participants in past cohorts have used what they learned for grant writing, client proposals, market research, meeting preparation, email drafting, onboarding guides, and more. Everything you build uses your own work, so it’s immediately useful.

AI Foundations is a self-paced course with about two and a half hours of content plus exercises. You work through it on your own schedule with lifetime access. AI Mastery is a 6-week live program with two-hour weekly sessions. Corporate Training is scheduled around your team’s availability. Consulting is flexible.

Jonathon Bloomfield, Upskailed’s founder. Jonathon has led five cohorts of AI training with over 30 professionals across nonprofit, consulting, education, and small business sectors. He leads every program, workshop, and consulting engagement personally.

The programs (AI Foundations, AI Mastery, and the Think Tank) are for individuals building and maintaining their AI skills. You follow a curriculum, join an ongoing membership, or both. The services (Corporate Training and Consulting and Advisory) are custom work with Jonathon on your organization’s specific challenges. Think of programs as investing in your own growth and services as bringing Upskailed into your team.

The Think Tank is a small, ongoing membership for professionals who want continued advisory, tools, and peer support as they work with AI. It includes monthly live office hours with Jonathon, a prompt and workflow toolkit, a members-only Q&A space, and a curated reading and watching list. Membership is capped to keep the group personal.

Professionals who have completed AI Foundations (or equivalent training) and want ongoing support as they apply what they’ve learned. If you’re past the basics and want to continue improving how you use AI, the Think Tank is designed for you.

AI Foundations and AI Mastery teach the skills. The Think Tank is where you continue practicing them with ongoing guidance, stay current as tools evolve, and get help with the specific challenges that come up in your work.

The training is built from the ground up for non-technical professionals. It teaches transferable skills (prompting, evaluation, workflow design) that work across platforms and updates, so you’re not dependent on any single tool. Everything is grounded in outcomes from five cohorts of working professionals, corporate training sessions, and Jonathon’s personal explorations.

It takes effort. AI training isn’t instant, and the results depend on how much you put in. That said, participants across five cohorts have consistently reported saving hours per week on tasks they used to do manually, discovering applications for AI they hadn’t considered, and approaching their work with noticeably more confidence and clarity. Upskailed offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on AI Foundations.

A significant portion of Upskailed’s participants come from nonprofits and social impact organizations. The training has been used for grant writing, board documentation, stakeholder communications, program reporting, and donor research. The skills are the same regardless of sector.

AI Foundations is $399 CAD, one-time, with lifetime access and a 30-day money-back guarantee. The November AI Mastery cohort is $2,800 CAD or $2,000 USD, plus applicable taxes. Think Tank pricing is being finalized (you can join the waitlist to be notified). Corporate Training and Consulting and Advisory are custom-priced based on scope. Prices are in Canadian dollars unless noted.
