You've watched YouTube tutorials. You've opened ChatGPT and stared at the blank screen. You've read articles that say 'just learn to prompt' but never explain what that means for YOUR actual job. The gap isn't knowledge. It's knowing where to start.

Who This Is For

Perfect for you if:

You're ready to commit 8 weeks to building real AI skills and a portfolio

You want hands-on projects you can show employers, not just certificates

You've done the Sprint or explored AI on your own and want structured depth

You're making a career change and need to demonstrate AI competence

Not the right fit if:

You just want a quick overview — the AI Career Sprint ($99, 2 hours) is better

You're under 18 — check out AI Builders for kids and teens

You want ongoing 1-on-1 support — AI Coaching is a better match

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding experience?

No. We teach AI tool use and development from the ground up. If you're comfortable learning technical tools (think: Excel, Salesforce, analytics dashboards), you're ready. Many professionals with zero coding background complete the programme successfully.

Is this for non-technical professionals?

Yes. AI Career Lab is designed for professionals in any field: marketing, finance, HR, sales, operations, product. You don't need to be an engineer. You need to be motivated to learn how AI can transform your role.

What makes this different from online AI courses?

Most AI courses teach theory or basic ChatGPT prompts. We teach professional AI product development: building real tools that deploy to production. You leave with a portfolio of working AI projects relevant to your industry, not just a certificate.

How much time commitment is required?

8 weekly 90-minute live sessions, plus 3-5 hours per week for project work. Designed for working professionals. Total commitment: 6-8 hours/week for 8 weeks.

What if I fall behind?

Small cohort sizes (15-20 standard, 8 premium) mean personalised support. If you struggle, we adapt. Premium tier includes 1-on-1 sessions for additional help.

Will this help me get promoted or change careers?

AI Career Lab positions you as the AI expert in your organisation. You leave with proof of competency: deployed projects, a professional portfolio, and optimised LinkedIn positioning. What you do with that positioning is up to you.

What industries do you support?

Any knowledge-work field where AI could improve workflows. We've designed programmes for marketing, finance, HR, sales, operations, product, consulting, and more. Projects adapt to YOUR industry.

Do you offer group rates or corporate enrolment?

Yes. If your company wants to enrol multiple employees, contact us for corporate pricing. Volume discounts available for teams of 3+.

What AI tools will I use?

Professional-grade AI development tools including Claude, ChatGPT, automation platforms, and deployment infrastructure. We teach the same tools used at top companies, not simplified versions.

What happens after the 8 weeks?

You graduate with a portfolio website showcasing your projects, optimised LinkedIn profile, and positioning as an AI expert. All graduates get lifetime access to the alumni community — a growing automation library, monthly skills workshops, project support, and a peer network of AI-skilled professionals.

What's included in the alumni community?

Four things that keep growing: (1) An automation and template library — deployable workflows you can use immediately, with new ones added regularly. (2) Monthly skills workshops — deep-dives on new AI tools and techniques. (3) Project support — bring your post-graduation builds for feedback and troubleshooting. (4) Peer network — alumni connections, project showcases, and opportunity sharing. The community grows with every cohort.

What People Are Saying

"Blend made AI feel genuinely accessible. I went from being curious but overwhelmed to actually using AI tools every day in my marketing work. They have this knack for breaking down complex things without ever making you feel like you're behind. Honestly one of the best investments I've made in my own development."

Nadia Padayachy

UK Marketing Manager

Grayling

"I was sceptical that AI would be relevant to my day-to-day work, but Blend completely changed my perspective. They showed me practical ways to use AI for project management and reporting that saved me hours every week. The coaching was tailored to what I actually needed, not some generic course."

Damith Rajakaruna

Business Manager

House of Commons

"Working with Blend opened up a whole new dimension in my design process. They didn't just show me AI tools — they helped me think about where they fit into creative workflows without replacing the human judgment that matters. I'm producing better work in less time now."

Joseph Shaffery

Head of Design

Design Council

"Blend is one of those rare teams that genuinely understands both the technology and how to teach it. They met me where I was and helped me build real AI skills I use every day. No jargon, no fluff — just practical stuff that actually made a difference to how I work."
