About the Role

The programme is delivered fully virtually over 16 contact hours across 8 sessions, twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM EAT. There is no coding involved.

​

Who We’re Looking For

​

You are someone who:

​

• Uses at least two generative AI assistants confidently in your own day-to-day work, rather than simply being familiar with them.

​

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver live demonstrations covering:

  • No-code AI models

  • Grounding AI in source documents

  • Data cleaning

  • Building custom AI assistants

  • AI-powered automation

• Teach practical habits around AI verification, bias, and data protection.

• Assess learner progress through quizzes, peer review, and a capstone project.

• Support learners between sessions through cohort communication channels.

• Work with the Learnly Africa team to refresh examples, datasets, and tool instructions between cohorts as AI tools evolve.
