What you learn
Learn to prompt for variance commentary, check the numbers and explain a scenario with clear assumptions.
Use sample actuals, budgets or banking operations reports to prepare a financial brief relevant to your responsibilities. Draft variance commentary with the period, units and assumptions clearly stated, and point reviewers back to the numbers.
Who this level fits
Start here for a structured prompting foundation and one well-defined task. No technical background is required.
Build on the financial judgment you already have. Whether you lead a finance function, work in banking or prepare management accounts, shape your AI project around the decisions and reporting you handle. Progress from clear analysis to repeatable workflows and coordinated agents, with assumptions and review controls you can inspect.
Bring a suitable sample or sanitized project. Practice with live trainer guidance, inspect the output and refine the instructions. This is a structured shared class, with practice shaped around your experience.
