## Common questions

### Do I need any technical background?

Not at all. If you can use email and a web browser, you have all the technical skills you need to get started.

### What’s the difference between Foundations, Mastery, and Think Tank?

AI Foundations teaches the core skills: prompting, personas, research, and workflows. AI Mastery is a live 6-week program that goes deeper into advanced collaboration and implementation. Think Tank is a community membership for professionals who want monthly guidance and updates as they apply AI in day-to-day work.

### Can I expense this to my organization?

Yes. Every enrollment includes an expense justification template you can adapt for your manager or board.

### What AI tools will I need?

To get full value, you’ll need at least one paid AI subscription, around $20 to $30 a month. Programs work with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or others. You can also start with free tools and upgrade as needed.

### What’s the refund policy?

AI Foundations has a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you’ve worked through the course and it hasn’t moved your skills forward, reach out within 30 days for a full refund.

### When does AI Mastery launch?

The program is tentatively scheduled for Fall 2026. Join the waitlist and you’ll be the first to know once the exact dates are set.
