Four-week guided cohorts, a self-paced library, and on-site corporate workshops that take working adults, K-12 teachers, and small-business owners from "AI is intimidating" to "I built a workflow this morning that saved me two hours."
We started AI Literacy Program because the gap between "people using AI well" and "people staring at a chatbot wondering what to type" is now the largest career and operational divide in the modern workplace. Our job is to close that gap with practice, not slides.
I spent fourteen years inside university classrooms, watching the same pattern repeat: a powerful new technology arrives, productivity gaps appear within months, and the people left behind are almost always the ones whose jobs depend on knowing how to write, plan, summarize, communicate, and explain. That includes teachers, librarians, administrators, tradespeople, and small-business owners — the backbone of working America.
When ChatGPT crossed into the public consciousness in late 2022, I left my faculty post and rented a single classroom on Melcher Street with eighteen students. Our first cohort was three middle-school teachers, four HVAC and plumbing owners, two librarians, a chef, a children's hospital scheduler, and a handful of admin staff. We taught them how to actually use the tools — not the theory, not the hype. By week four, every one of them had built something usable. We've kept that model ever since.
The Program is a private Massachusetts education LLC. We charge real tuition because we pay real instructors and curriculum specialists. But we also keep our cohort price below the cost of a single graduate-school credit, run pay-what-you-can scholarship spots in every batch, and license the curriculum to public school districts at a fraction of vendor pricing. That is the contract we keep with the people we teach.
Every session ends with a working artifact you built — a lesson plan, a customer-quote draft, a research summary, a parent letter, a hiring rubric.
Cohort pricing intentionally sits below one university credit. Every cohort holds two pay-what-you-can scholarship seats, no application essay required.
We teach the underlying skills — prompting, evaluation, verification, workflow design — across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and the local-model tier.
Public school district licensing is priced separately and significantly lower than corporate workshops. Educators always pay less than enterprises.
Whether you have four weeks or one Saturday, whether you're a solo learner or buying a seat for every staff member at your district, there is a track sized for you.
Our four-week flagship. Live weekly sessions, async exercises, a peer-graded capstone, and one 1-on-1 office hour with an instructor. Cohorts capped at 28 students so feedback is actually personal. Spring, summer, and fall intakes.
Eighty-plus recorded lessons, downloadable templates, prompt patterns, and the full back-catalog of past cohort capstones. Updated monthly as new tools and best practices land. Renews annually; cancel anytime.
A half-day on-site workshop for teams of 8–40. Custom-tailored to your industry — we've run it for legal teams, school admin offices, manufacturing back-office staff, and everything in between. Includes pre-survey, custom prompt pack, follow-up Q&A.
Full curriculum license for school districts. Includes student-safe lesson plans for grades 6–12, teacher PD modules, parent-communication templates, and an annual refresh. Pricing scales by enrolled student count; tier brackets start at 500 students.
A condensed version of the cohort, run as an in-person Saturday in Boston, NYC, or Chicago — or as a single live virtual day. Fast, dense, and ideal if you can't commit to four weekly evenings. Includes 30-day library access afterward.
A six-month track exclusively for K-12 teachers and instructional coaches. Two cohorts back to back, a curriculum-design module, a peer mentorship circle, and 18 graduate-level PD hours documented for state license renewal. Two intakes per year.
General-purpose AI courses fail because they speak to no one specifically. Our entire curriculum is structured around the actual workdays of these three audiences.
Office workers, project managers, paralegals, ops coordinators, recruiters, communications staff. People whose jobs are made of writing, summarizing, planning, and translating between teams.
Classroom teachers, instructional coaches, school librarians, curriculum directors. Educators who need to teach AI literacy AND use AI to recover their own time.
HVAC owners, plumbers, contractors, salon operators, restaurant owners, independent consultants. People running 1–25 person businesses who can't hire a CMO but need one's output.
We tell you exactly what each session looks like before you enroll. No syllabus surprises, no week-five upsells, no vague "modules."
We start with a working mental model: tokens, prompts, context, hallucination, evaluation. Two hours of plain-language framing followed by your first six prompt-pattern exercises. You leave week one already faster at three concrete tasks.
Roleplay, few-shot, chain-of-thought, structured-output, retrieval-augmented, critique, re-prompt, and the underrated "explain to a junior" pattern. Each pattern gets a paired live exercise from your own actual work.
We move from one-off prompts to small workflows: templates, saved prompts, voice dictation, file uploads, and the responsible use of "memory" features. By end of week three you have two repeatable workflows you'll actually keep using.
Pick a real project from your job. Build the full solution end-to-end with AI assistance. Present a five-minute walkthrough to your peer group. Receive structured feedback from two peers and one instructor. Walk away with something you'll use Monday.
Every alum keeps free access to our monthly office-hour evenings, our prompt-pattern updates, and our private alumni Slack. We don't disappear after the certificate.
Pick the format that fits your time and budget. Every tier includes the same core curriculum — the difference is depth, pace, and whether you want it with a live group.
For independent learners who prefer their own pace.
The flagship four-week guided program.
A condensed Saturday for fast learners.
For K-12 teachers needing PD hours.

We cap every cohort at 28. That number isn't accidental — it's small enough that an instructor can actually read every assignment, large enough that peer review produces genuinely useful feedback, and large enough to keep the price below most graduate credits.
Larger cohort sizes make the math easier on us, but they kill the feedback loop that makes the curriculum work. We won't do it. If a cohort fills up, we open a second one rather than dilute the experience.
Our instructors are working practitioners — not lifelong academics. Every one of our eight current instructors has shipped real AI-assisted work in the past 12 months in a domain we teach. They know what the tools actually do at midnight on a deadline.

Every cohort session follows the same simple loop. Your instructor demonstrates a pattern with a live, unscripted example. You apply it to a piece of your own actual work. You build a small artifact. You present it for two minutes. You get feedback.
The loop is repetitive on purpose. Skill comes from cycles, not lectures. By the end of week four you've completed roughly 24 of these mini-loops, each tied to a real job task, and the skills are now muscle memory rather than notes you took once.
We use the same teaching method whether the cohort is full of teachers, small-business owners, or office workers. The exercises change. The loop doesn't. It works.
Every quote below is from a verified alum of the four-week cohort, used with permission. We list city, role, and cohort number so you can ask them yourself in our alumni community.
I'm a sixth-grade ELA teacher. Before this program I was honestly avoiding AI because everything I'd read assumed I had a CS degree. Elena's cohort took the abstract anxiety out and gave me a working classroom protocol, three lesson rubrics, and a parent communication template I still use. The peer feedback alone was worth the tuition.
I run a four-truck HVAC business. I sat in this cohort surrounded by teachers and librarians and thought, "What am I doing here?" By week three I had AI drafting my customer estimates, my Google review responses, and the first round of every job ad we post. I bill out maybe six fewer hours of admin a week. That's a real number.
As a public librarian I was getting daily questions from patrons about AI and didn't have honest, calm answers. Now I do. I also use the workflow patterns to do collection summaries, programming descriptions, and grant outline drafts in a fraction of the time. My branch chief enrolled the whole reference desk in cohort 60 because of my results.
