## The curriculum

Module by module, in the order they are assigned.

### AI in Business Right Now

AI adoption is already past the halfway mark for businesses like yours, but most use it narrowly and without a plan. You learn where the real returns sit, how AI behaves, what to check, which tool category fits the job, and where to start.

### How to Prompt AI with PRISM

Prompting with PRISM turns AI from a frustrating blank-box tool into a reliable drafting partner for owners who need usable business output fast. You learn to brief AI with Persona, Request, Intent, Structure and Model, improve drafts through feedback, and save prompts that keep paying back time.

### AI as Your Strategic Thought Partner

Owner-operators face high-stakes decisions with fragmented advice, and AI matters most when it closes that counsel gap rather than only saving time. You can use four thinking moves to pressure-test real decisions and build a weekly strategic practice that keeps judgement sharp.

### AI for Marketing and Operations

Marketing and operations are where business owners lose hours to visible campaigns and invisible admin, so AI pays back fast when used with oversight. You finish with repeatable marketing checks, mapped operational priorities, and one workflow ready to build from your own tasks.

### AI for Finance, Growth and People

Finance, growth and people are high-stakes areas where owner instinct often fills gaps in clear analysis. You learn to use AI for financial summaries, scenarios, hiring, onboarding and team adoption while keeping verification, ethics and final decisions firmly human.

### Safe Adoption and Your 30-Day Plan

Safe AI adoption starts with deliberate data rules, because the same customer, financial, and staff information that makes AI useful also creates owner-level risk. You finish with GUARD, a one-page policy, an Adoption Spectrum read, and a phased 30-day plan ready to start.

## Assessment and certificate

The course closes with a timed final exam with a pass mark and a limited number of attempts. A pass issues a PDF certificate with its own serial, in the name of the Straits Institute for Applied AI. Cohort progress, at-risk learners and a CSV export are in the admin console throughout.
