Checkpoint 1 · Course method

Know how the course works.

This course is designed around action. You will not simply watch demonstrations. You will configure tools, test outputs, apply each skill to a real responsibility and save the result for future use.

LearnReview the concept and see a practical demonstration.

BuildFollow the steps inside an approved tool or template.

ApplyAdapt the method to a real workplace responsibility.

ReviewCheck accuracy, safety, usefulness and human accountability.

Course standard:

AI may assist with the work, but a person remains responsible for the decision, the quality and the final result.

I understand the course method.I will complete the practical work, review AI-generated output and retain human responsibility for the final result.

Checkpoint 2 · Technical readiness

Confirm that your working environment is ready.

Complete each item before moving forward. Account, browser and access problems should be resolved before the hands-on modules begin.

I have a reliable device and internet connection.A laptop or desktop computer is recommended for the hands-on work. My browser is current.Update the browser and close unnecessary tabs or extensions. I can sign in to the AI tool approved by my organization.Do not create an unauthorized account using company information. Multifactor authentication is enabled where available.Use an approved authentication method and protect account recovery information. I have a place to save course resources.Use an approved local or organizational storage location. I know whom to contact for internal policy or access questions.Your instructor cannot approve organizational data, tools or permissions.

Checkpoint 3 · Safe use

Use the data traffic-light rule.

Before entering information into an AI tool, classify the data and confirm that the account and task are approved.

Green data

Public, non-sensitive or organization-approved information that may be used for the task.

Yellow data

Internal information that may require sanitization, limited access or explicit approval.

Red data

Confidential, regulated, privileged, credential, financial, security-sensitive or prohibited information.

1. A public job description is being summarized for an approved internal planning exercise.

How should the information be classified?

2. Draft internal notes include employee names and performance concerns.

What is the safest starting decision?

3. A prompt would require a password, API key or account-recovery code.

What should you do?

4. You cannot determine whether the organization has approved the tool or the data.

What is the correct next action?

5. An AI response includes a polished factual claim and a citation.

What remains necessary?

I will follow organizational policy.I will not enter restricted information, passwords, personal identifiers or confidential materials into an unapproved AI tool. When uncertain, I will stop and ask.

Checkpoint 4 · Baseline assessment

Record your starting point.

Rate your current confidence from 1 to 5. This is not a test. It gives you a baseline for measuring growth after the course.

Selecting the right AI toolI can match a task, data type and desired output to an appropriate tool. Protecting workplace informationI can identify information that should not be entered into an AI tool. Writing useful instructionsI can provide enough context, constraints and quality criteria to get a useful result. Verifying AI-generated outputI can identify unsupported claims, missing information and quality problems. Improving a recurring workflowI can identify where AI should assist, where a human must review and how success will be measured.
