Put AI to work properly
Prompt engineering, AI image and video generation, AI design. Practical courses in ChatGPT, Midjourney, Firefly, Runway and more.
Why this school
Put AI to work properly.
AI tools reward the people who learn them deliberately. Prompting well is a real skill (the difference between generic output and work you can actually use) and it's learnable in weeks, not years.
Start with prompt engineering in ChatGPT or DeepSeek to build the core skill, then specialize: Midjourney and Leonardo for images, Firefly for design workflows, Runway for video. Every course is hands-on with the current versions of the tools.

Before you start
Questions people ask about AI & Automation
What is prompt engineering and is it worth learning?
Prompt engineering is writing instructions that get usable work out of an AI tool instead of generic output. It is worth learning if you already have a job you want done: drafting, research, code, analysis. Certificate in AI Prompt Engineering Using ChatGPT runs mostly on the free plan. If you are only curious, spend a weekend with the tool for free first, and enroll when you want to get good at it.
Do I need paid plans for these AI tools?
Mostly no, with two clear exceptions. ChatGPT, DeepSeek and Leonardo AI all have free tiers the courses can be followed on. Midjourney has no free tier, so nothing gets generated there without paying, and the Adobe Firefly course needs Photoshop and Illustrator for half of its modules. If free matters in practice rather than in principle, start with the DeepSeek or Leonardo AI course.
Which AI course should I take first?
Start with prompt engineering, then specialize. Prompting well is the skill underneath everything else, and either Certificate in AI Prompt Engineering Using ChatGPT or the DeepSeek version builds it. After that, follow your work: Midjourney or Leonardo AI for images, Adobe Firefly for generation inside Adobe applications, Runway for video. None of them teaches design or editing, so bring that skill or take a course in it.
Will AI skills still be useful when the tools change?
The judgment transfers, the button locations do not. These tools move quickly, and every course is a snapshot: model names change, panels move, free tiers shift. What lasts is knowing how to break a job into instructions, iterate on a result, and spot output that is confidently wrong. If you want to understand how the models work underneath, that is a different kind of course and it is not here.
