AI Quick Wins

Go from Zero to AI-Confident in 60 Minutes

Course Overview

The world is buzzing about AI, but where do you actually start? Forget dense theory and confusing jargon. This is your hands-on, 60-minute bootcamp designed to give you immediate, practical wins that you can apply to your work today.

This is a 'doing' course. In just one hour, you will:

  • Tackle a Real-World Challenge: We'll jump straight in and use AI to distil Google's dense, 68-page guide on prompt engineering into a handful of actionable insights. This is your first win, in the first few minutes.
  • Master the GCO Prompting Framework: Learn the simple but powerful Goal > Context > Output method to get better, more reliable results from your AI, every single time.
  • Build Your First Custom AI Assistant: Move beyond basic chat. You'll design and deploy a specialised assistant tailored to a specific task, turning your generic AI into a focused expert.
  • Connect Your AI to the Real World: Go beyond the AI's static knowledge. Learn how to use MCPs (Model Context Protocol) to give your assistant real-time "senses," connecting it to deep research, image creation and more.
  • Get the Jargon-Free Mental Model: Finally understand how AI actually works. We'll cover why it sometimes "hallucinates" (and how to manage it) and how to control its memory for consistent, personalised performance.


Stop watching from the sidelines. In one hour, you won't just understand AI – you'll be confidently using it to solve real problems.

I really enjoyed this course! I came in with zero knowledge and I genuinely feel as though I have a deeper understanding of LLMs and how to use them now. I enjoyed the structure of small videos, made it feel less overwhelming, and was easy to complete the course in 20 min bits. The interactive element was also a nice touch and helped solidify the information easier. Cheers, guys!

She's a winner!

Nicola Slatter

I found this session really valuable, and not just in a student context. I've attended enough lightweight AI info sessions and courses over the past 18mths to know a five-star offering when I experience it. Thank you!

Excellent Training Videos!

Carly Movizio

These videos helped me go from a very basic AI user, to understanding what's actually going on. I loved the step-by-step tasks and clear instructions. Looking forward to the next training module. Thank you!

Super useful

Alan Millett

This course is easy to follow because it is segmented into 9 short videos and most on them have a hands-on activity to make it experiential. The instructor is very clear in his instruction and has a dry sense of humour to kick it along. Well done

This series of small classes has put me in a much greater position to use our Madgwick platform. I have been doing some testing and the lessons in the 'Quick Wins' series are helping me understand where I was going wrong in the past and now with stronger prompting techniques, helping me realise the potential of AI using Madgwick. Great course Aaron.
