2-Day AI Course for Companies — Advanced Programme

Why Choose a 2-Day AI Course?

A 1-day AI course gives your team confidence and a working foundation. A 2-day programme gives them mastery.

The difference is not simply more hours — it is a fundamentally different learning outcome. With two days, participants move beyond knowing how to prompt AI tools to understanding when and why to use specific techniques. They build larger prompt libraries, tackle complex multi-step workflows, and leave with a measurable adoption plan that includes success metrics and accountability.

For companies serious about embedding AI into daily operations — not just introducing it — the 2-day format delivers the depth, practice time, and adoption infrastructure that a single day cannot.

What Two Days Achieves That One Day Cannot

• Depth over breadth — Rather than introducing seven prompt patterns, participants master them and learn to combine patterns for complex, multi-step tasks
• Meaningful practice time — 3x more hands-on time means participants work through real scenarios from their own roles, not just instructor-led examples
• Department-specific mastery — Extended breakout sessions allow each function (HR, Finance, Sales, Operations) to build tailored workflows, not just see a brief overview
• Adoption planning with measurement — Participants create comprehensive 30-day plans with baseline metrics, weekly checkpoints, and success criteria — not just a list of intentions
• Measurable skills — By the end of Day 2, participants can demonstrate specific competencies that translate directly to productivity improvements

Who Should Attend a 2-Day AI Course?

The 2-day format is ideal for:

• Teams wanting mastery, not just awareness — Organisations that need employees to use AI tools independently and proficiently from Day 1 back at work
• Companies with specific ROI targets — When leadership expects measurable productivity gains and needs a structured adoption framework to track them
• Mixed-role cohorts — Groups spanning multiple departments who need both shared foundations and role-specific depth
• Change champions and power users — Employees who will lead AI adoption within their teams and need deeper expertise to coach others
• Organisations with governance requirements — Companies in regulated industries that need thorough coverage of safe use, compliance, and policy frameworks

No technical background is required. The course is designed for business professionals across all functions and seniority levels.

Day 1 Curriculum: Foundations and Core Skills

Day 1 builds the essential foundation — from AI literacy through prompt engineering mastery to initial hands-on application.

Morning: AI Literacy and Prompt Engineering

The morning mirrors the 1-day course structure but moves at a pace that allows deeper exploration. Participants learn all seven prompt patterns with extended practice time for each:

1. Role Prompting — Assigning expert personas for domain-specific output
2. Constraint-Based Prompting — Controlling format, tone, length, and scope
3. Chain-of-Thought — Step-by-step reasoning for complex analysis
4. Few-Shot Prompting — Teaching by example for consistent quality
5. Rubric-Based Prompting — Structured evaluation against defined criteria
6. Comparative Analysis — Side-by-side assessment of options
7. Iterative Refinement — Multi-round improvement for polished output

Each pattern includes a live demonstration, a guided exercise, and an independent practice task — giving participants three exposures to each technique before moving on.

Afternoon: Structured Outputs and Department Introduction

The afternoon introduces a skill that separates proficient AI users from beginners: getting AI to produce structured, business-ready outputs. Participants learn to generate formatted tables, multi-section reports, evaluation frameworks, and presentation-ready summaries.

The day closes with an introductory department breakout where each function identifies their highest-value AI use cases — setting up the deep dives that follow on Day 2.

Day 2 Curriculum: Mastery and Adoption

Day 2 transforms knowledge into capability. Every session is designed to ensure participants can work independently with AI tools when they return to their desks.

Morning: Department Deep Dives and Governance

Department-Specific Deep Dives (9:30 AM) — The most valuable session of the entire programme. Participants spend 75 minutes in function-specific groups working through detailed scenarios:

• HR: Job descriptions, interview frameworks, policy drafting, performance review narratives, training needs analysis
• Finance: Management reports, board paper summaries, variance analysis, budget justifications, audit documentation
• Sales: Prospect research, proposal narratives, outreach sequences, competitive analysis, objection handling
• Operations: SOPs, RFP drafting, vendor evaluations, incident reports, KPI frameworks
• Marketing: Content briefs, campaign copy, social media calendars, competitive positioning, customer personas

Governance (11:00 AM) — Extended governance coverage including data classification, confidentiality boundaries, accuracy verification protocols, bias awareness, and regulatory compliance. This session includes hands-on case study exercises where participants practise applying governance principles to realistic scenarios.

Afternoon: Prompt Libraries, Advanced Techniques, and Adoption

Prompt Library Building (1:30 PM) — Participants build a comprehensive personal library of 20-50 tested prompts. Unlike the 1-day course where participants create 10-15 prompts, the 2-day format allows time to refine, test, and organise prompts into categories for daily use.

Advanced Techniques (2:30 PM) — The session that truly differentiates the 2-day programme. Participants learn to combine multiple prompt patterns into complex, multi-step workflows:

• Chaining Role + Constraint + Few-Shot for production-ready first drafts
• Using Chain-of-Thought + Rubric for structured decision analysis
• Combining Comparative Analysis + Iterative Refinement for thorough evaluations
• Building multi-prompt workflows for complex tasks (research → analysis → recommendation → executive summary)

30-Day Adoption Planning (4:00 PM) — A comprehensive planning session where participants define:

• Three priority tasks for AI integration
• Baseline metrics for each task (current time, quality, frequency)
• Weekly milestones for the first 30 days
• Success criteria and measurement methods
• Accountability partners and check-in schedules

Results Comparison

Delivery Formats

The 2-day programme can be delivered in several configurations depending on your team's availability and learning preferences:

Consecutive Days (Monday-Tuesday or Thursday-Friday)

Best for: Teams that can dedicate two consecutive days. Provides the strongest learning momentum — concepts from Day 1 are fresh when applied in Day 2's advanced sessions.

Split Days (e.g., Monday + Following Monday)

Best for: Teams that cannot be away for two consecutive days or want time to practise between sessions. The one-week gap allows participants to try their Day 1 prompts in real work situations and bring questions and experiences to Day 2.

Intensive + Follow-Up (Full Day + Half Day, 2-4 Weeks Later)

Best for: Companies that want to measure initial adoption before investing in the advanced content. The follow-up half day becomes a coaching session addressing real challenges participants encountered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can participants attend Day 1 only? We recommend the full 2-day programme for maximum impact, but participants can attend Day 1 as a standalone session if needed. Day 1 covers the same foundations as the 1-day course. However, the advanced techniques, extended practice, and adoption planning on Day 2 are where the biggest ROI gains occur.

What should participants do between Day 1 and Day 2 (split format)? Use their prompt library for at least 3-5 real work tasks. Note which prompts worked well, which needed refinement, and which tasks they could not figure out. Bring these experiences to Day 2 for targeted coaching and advanced technique application.

How do you measure the difference between 1-day and 2-day outcomes? We use pre-training and post-training assessments covering prompt quality, task completion speed, and confidence ratings. For the 2-day programme, we also include a 30-day follow-up survey measuring sustained adoption, time saved per week, and prompt library growth.

Is the 2-day course twice the cost of the 1-day? Not exactly. Per-person costs are typically 60-70% higher than the 1-day course, not double, because setup, preparation, and materials costs are shared across both days. With HRDF or SkillsFuture funding, out-of-pocket costs may be minimal.

Can the 2-day programme be delivered virtually? Yes. Virtual delivery works well for distributed teams, with the added benefit that participants use their own work environment during exercises. We use breakout rooms for department-specific sessions and screen sharing for hands-on practice review.
