Generative AI Intermediate Prompting Training in Norway

This course provides a practical and accessible introduction to generative AI, focusing on how modern AI systems create content, support decision-making, and enable new ways of working across organisations. Learners will explore the capabilities of generative AI, understand how it differs from traditional AI approaches, and assess both the opportunities and risks associated with its adoption.

The course emphasises real-world relevance, helping learners evaluate where generative AI can deliver business value and how it can be implemented responsibly. Through examples, discussion, and hands-on interaction with generative AI tools, participants will build the confidence to engage with these technologies effectively and apply learning back to their organisational context.

This course is designed to be accessible to a wide audience and does not require deep technical expertise. Learners should have:

• A general awareness of digital technologies used in modern organisations.
• An interest in understanding how AI is influencing business, roles, and decision-making.
• No prior experience with AI development, data science, or programming is required.
