Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we actually get about AI Fluency Foundations and the READY Method. Missing one? Email support.

How is this different from prompt engineering courses?

Most prompt engineering courses teach tricks for one tool. This course teaches a transferable skill called AI fluency: a way of thinking that works across any tool, any update, any new model. It is about how you think about the collaboration, not which magic words to type.

What if I already use AI every day?

Even experienced users find gaps. The course covers anti-patterns that daily AI users fall into, like over-prompting, skipping verification, and trusting hallucinated outputs. Module 1 is free, so try it and see if you learn something new.

Will this still be useful in six months when the models change?

The whole design of the READY Method is to outlast any particular model or tool. The stages (Recognise, Evaluate, Articulate, Determine, Your Responsibility) describe how you think about AI work, not which buttons to press. When GPT-5 or Claude 5 ships, you will apply the same method with new capabilities.

Can I try a lesson before diving in?

Start with Module 1. That is five lessons (about 20 minutes) plus a 10-question self-assessment that tells you which module addresses your biggest gap. No sign-up required for the free module.

Who is this course for?

People who already use AI at work (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot) and sense their output is mediocre. Developers, marketers, analysts, managers, students. No technical background required. If you have ever pasted something into ChatGPT and thought "there has to be a better way," this is for you.

Who is it not for?

Engineers building LLM applications who need API-level depth. People looking for copy-paste prompt templates for one specific tool. People looking for hype about how AI will change everything.

What is this course about?

The READY Method: a repeatable framework for working with AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot. Instead of guessing at prompts, you learn how to recognise what AI can do, evaluate when to delegate, articulate clear instructions, determine if the output is trustworthy, and take responsibility for the results.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. All 7 modules, 13 hands-on exercises, and the capstone project are completely free. No subscription, no recurring charges.

How long do I have access?

As long as you like. You can revisit the course material anytime. Any future updates to the existing modules are included at no extra cost.

How long does the course take to complete?

Most people complete it in 4-6 hours spread across a few sessions. Each lesson is 5-15 minutes. You can go at your own pace. There are no deadlines.

Do I need any specific AI tools to take this course?

No. The READY Method works with any AI tool: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or whatever comes next. The exercises use free-tier tools so you will not need any paid subscriptions.

What is the READY Method?

READY stands for Recognise (understand AI capabilities), Evaluate (decide what to delegate), Articulate (craft effective prompts), Determine (verify output quality), and Your Responsibility (own the results). Each module maps to one stage.

Is there a certificate?

Not yet. The capstone project in Module 7 helps you build a personal AI use policy and reflect on your fluency growth. Certificate functionality is planned for a future update.

Is my data safe?

Yes. We do not store your personal data. We do not track you with third-party analytics. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Is this affiliated with Anthropic?

No. AI Fluency Foundations is independent. This course is not an Anthropic product and has not been reviewed or endorsed by them.
