The first experiences

This programme is new. There are no graduates yet who can tell you their story — and we would rather show you nothing than something invented. What does exist already: the modules, and the learning with AI that is built into every class from day one. Here is what that feels like.

how a module runs

Four blocks a year, alongside your job

The programme is modular: one theme per period, two starting moments each year. You study while working, and that job is not an obstacle — it is your practice material.

rhythm

One theme per period

Four blocks a year — September, November, February and April. You start in September or February. Miss a block and you simply rejoin at the next starting moment.

study load

Class every other week

Friday from 13:00 to 19:30 and Saturday from 10:00 to 16:30, every other week. Count on 15 to 20 hours a week in total, including self-study and assignments.

assignments

Your own work is the case

You carry out assignments inside your own organisation. Study and work largely overlap: what you build in a module is something you can take further on Monday.

lecturers

Taught by people who do the work

During the week your lecturers are with clients: building AI solutions, setting up data management, advising boards. What they tell you on Saturday, they lived through that week — including what went wrong.

learning with ai

Every class, you work with bots

Here AI is not only the goal but also the medium you learn with. Every learning situation has its own bot. That mainly changes when you learn: not when a lecturer has time, but when you are ready.

in class

Lesson bots

They explain the material at your level and answer your questions — without limit, at eleven at night, long after the class has ended.

on assignments

Feedforward bots

Feedback before you submit, not after. You hear what could be better while it still helps — so you learn from every version instead of from your grade.

for presentations

Presentation bots

A practice audience that asks sharp questions about your story. As often as you like, before it counts for real.

speaking practice

Voice bots

Practise out loud in a real conversation: you speak, the bot speaks back. For conversational skills and presenting.

for exams

Practice and exam bots

Unlimited practice with exercises and mock exams, at your own pace and level, with an explanation for every answer.

alongside work

Study coach bot

Helps you plan and keep track of your progress. That is exactly what makes the difference when you combine studying with a full-time job.

in projects

Role-play bots

They play your stakeholders: a critical client, a board member, a regulator. Safe practice before the real conversation.

what already runs

No graduates yet. But a method that already runs.

This programme is new, so we cannot present you with alumni. And we will not put invented quotes here — you would not believe them anyway, and rightly so. What we can show you is what sits underneath the programme. That is not a plan; it is the class as it is taught today.

three years of practice

Tried and tested at the AI Proeflokaal

The teaching approach and the AI modules did not come fresh off the drawing board. They have been running for three years at the AI Proeflokaal: in projects with business and government, and across a range of part-time modules and minors. What you meet in class here has already been worn in elsewhere.

the redesign

Not one more module

The graduate profiles were redefined for a world in which you direct agents, the curriculum was redesigned onto them, and the teaching team was taken along — the part that is usually skipped elsewhere.

in class

The bots are running, not piloting

Lesson bots, feedforward bots, presentation bots, voice bots, practice and test bots, a study coach, role-play bots. Each built for one learning task. Not a trial with a single chatbot: this is how the teaching works here.

the teachers

Those who designed it, teach it

The people who designed this programme stand in front of the class themselves and still work in the field. You are not hearing the story from a support department.

coming here soon

Their words next, not ours

What we see is that skills are built far faster this way. Honestly: we have not measured it yet. Once the first participants have finished their module, their verdict goes in this space — you would rather hear it from them than from us.
