Every program below is a vocational module — instructor-led, tool-specific, and designed for billable knowledge work. Tuition is quoted in CAD when you enquire. Most learners complete the full circuit over several weeks; individual modules can be taken separately if you already meet the listed prerequisites.
Sessions are offered at our Vancouver studio and via live online cohorts. Pacific Time schedules apply. Contact us for upcoming start dates and corporate cohort options.

Circuit Entry — AI Income Foundations
Prerequisite: none · Format: studio or online · Duration: 2 days
Establish baseline fluency with ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Claude before any billable workflow. You configure accounts responsibly, learn context-window limits, compare model strengths, and practise verification habits that every later module assumes. Exercises use anonymised professional scenarios — research summaries, meeting notes, and draft emails — so you leave with a personal checklist for when AI assistance is appropriate and when human judgment must lead.

Node Lab — AI-Assisted Service Delivery
Prerequisite: Circuit Entry · Format: studio or online · Duration: 2 days
Translate foundations into repeatable service steps clients can understand. You map intake questions, scope boundaries, and delivery timelines for AI-assisted tasks such as market scans, content drafts, and data narratives. Role-play feedback covers how to describe your process without overpromising automation. By the end you draft a service menu with three scoped offers and the prompts that power each deliverable.

Link Module — Packaging Billable AI Outputs
Prerequisite: Node Lab · Format: studio or online · Duration: 1.5 days
Outputs that look amateur erode trust — even when the underlying analysis is sound. This module focuses on formatting, citation discipline, version control, and handoff notes that make AI-assisted work presentable to managers and buyers. You build template packs for reports, slide summaries, and email sequences, each with a quality gate you run before delivery. The emphasis is professional packaging, not graphic design software mastery.

Circuit Pricing for AI-Assisted Projects
Prerequisite: Link Module · Format: studio or online · Duration: 1 day
Pricing AI-assisted work requires honest time estimates and clear revision policies. You practise quoting fixed-fee and hourly structures, separating discovery from production, and documenting what is included when tools change mid-project. Case exercises use Canadian freelance and in-house contexts with CAD figures. You leave with a pricing worksheet tied to the service menu from Node Lab and assumptions you can defend in client conversations.

Throughput & Quality for More Billable Hours
Prerequisite: Circuit Pricing · Format: studio or online · Duration: 1.5 days
Speed without quality creates refunds; quality without throughput limits income. This clinic teaches batching prompts, parallel review steps, and error-catching routines that protect reputation while increasing usable hours. You time baseline tasks, apply circuit workflows, and measure delta honestly — including when AI adds review overhead. Managers receive guidance on team norms for shared prompt libraries and escalation when outputs fail verification.

Capstone — AI Income Circuit Demonstration Project
Prerequisite: full circuit or equivalent · Format: studio or online · Duration: 2 days
Integrate every prior module into a demonstration project you present to peers and facilitators. Choose a realistic brief — internal or client-facing — and execute it with documented prompts, verification logs, packaged deliverables, and a pricing summary. Feedback covers clarity, ethics, and commercial viability without guaranteeing any specific contract outcome. Graduates receive a completion record suitable for professional development files, not a regulated trade licence.
