Frequently asked questions

AI is rapidly transforming how professionals work with data. The most effective professionals are using AI to move faster, uncover insights, and deliver recommendations that earn buy-in—while still maintaining human judgment and analytical integrity. 

If you’ve been wondering how to use AI beyond surface-level experimentation, this course provides a clear, practical approach. Designed for business professionals, it helps you build a repeatable AI framework and apply it confidently.

This course is built for business professionals—not data analysts, not engineers, not anyone who writes SQL for a living. No coding, no data science background, no technical prerequisites beyond basic AI experience. If you work with data to inform decisions but you're not a data specialist, this is for you.

It's a strong fit for professionals who want to:

  • Deliver faster, more confident data-driven recommendations
  • Investigate business questions on their own—without waiting on an analyst
  • Validate AI outputs and know when to trust the results
  • Present recommendations that leadership and stakeholders can act on
  • Build a repeatable framework that they can use for every future analysis

This course is relevant for professionals across functions (marketing, sales, operations, product, HR, customer success) who want to use AI to work with data more effectively, not become data analysts.

Because this course is designed for professionals looking to advance their AI skills, prior AI experience with LLMs (including ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, or Claude) is recommended. You should be comfortable reviewing dashboards or spreadsheets. No coding, SQL, or data science experience required.

This is a high-impact program designed for working adults. Our courses are built for real life. Whether you're balancing a full-time job, family, or both, we've designed the experience to fit your schedule—without sacrificing results. 

You can expect to spend six to eight hours per week on interactive, on-demand content, including hands-on activities and applied playbook assignments.

Weekly live online sessions (2 hours) are led by experienced practitioners and include demos, discussion, and deeper dives into course content. These sessions are optional and recorded for later viewing.

Yes. You’ll earn a university-issued certificate of completion verifying your hands-on experience and knowledge in AI for Data Analysis. This credential can be added to your LinkedIn profile, resume, and professional portfolio.

To receive a university-issued certificate of completion, you must achieve at least 70% on the module assessments and successfully complete all of the playbook assignments.

No, this is a noncredit course. As such, it is not eligible for financial aid. However, many employers offer reimbursement for continuing education, so check with your human resources department to determine your eligibility.

There are multiple payment options for this course. The first way is to pay upfront, online. This option also provides the largest savings.

We offer both installment and financing options. To find out if you qualify for either of these payment options, fill out the enrollment form to be directed to the payment page. From there, you can click on the "Get Qualified" link to see what options are available.

Many employers also offer tuition reimbursement. Our guide gives you suggestions and templates for how to ask your employer to cover the cost of the course.

View our reimbursement guide.

We are confident in the quality of our learning experience, having supported thousands of learners and received hundreds of 5-star reviews. Because we believe so strongly in the value and impact of our course, we offer a 7-day money-back guarantee from the start date. If the course isn't the right fit for you, you can withdraw within the first week of your course and receive a full refund, no questions asked.

Everything is online. You’ll access on-demand content and assignments through our online learning platform and join the optional instructor-led live sessions once a week through a video conference platform. The live sessions are recorded and available for playback on demand. The online Learner Dashboard can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection on a computer.
