Talk to our expertsFrequently Asked Questions
Is this course right for me?
This course is designed for working professionals who want to use AI tools such as ChatGPT in a more structured, reliable, and responsible way in their day-to-day work. It is particularly well suited to those who work with information, documents, data, planning, or communication and are looking to improve efficiency without needing technical or coding skills.
You do not need a background in AI, computer science, or data science. The course starts from first principles and builds confidence gradually through live demonstrations, guided labs, and practical exercises. What matters most is a willingness to engage actively and apply the tools to real workplace tasks.
How will this course help with my career?
AI literacy is rapidly becoming a baseline professional capability rather than a niche technical skill. This course helps you develop practical, applied competence in using generative AI to improve the quality, speed, and consistency of your work, while maintaining appropriate human oversight.
This course focuses on long-term professional relevance. Rather than teaching isolated tools or shortcuts, it equips you with frameworks and judgement that can adapt as AI technologies evolve, helping you remain effective and credible as AI continues to reshape how work is done.
What is the learning experience like?
Many of our courses are now available in a variety of formats. All formats cover the same course content. You now have more choice in how you learn with us:
Live Online
Our online experience is designed to be just as interactive, supportive, and inspiring as the UCD Professional Academy campus experience.
Online courses can be accessed from any computer or laptop with an internet connection.
Live lectures are delivered using Zoom. During these lectures, your teachers will use technology interactively to ensure an engaging learning experience. When appropriate, students will be encouraged to activate their microphones so that they can ask questions and communicate with other students.
On Campus
UCD Professional Academy is delighted to welcome learners back on the UCD Belfield Campus. On Campus courses are delivered in-person with our industry experts in the O'Brien Science building.
On Demand
On Demand courses enable you to complete your course on your own schedule. Course modules are delivered in the form of one “lesson”. The lesson is broken up into short videos followed by activities designed to put the new information and concepts into practice through exercises, quizzes, forum participation and other activities.
What is the student experience like?
Student care is a high priority at UCD Professional Academy, which is why our Student Services team is on hand to support you throughout your time with us. They will respond to any queries you have, help you with any technical issues, and facilitate your learning experience at every point. All students are given access to our Student Portal, where you can see your timetable, access all your study materials, and manage your account.
How is this course assessed?
This course uses two assessments designed to support ongoing ChatGPT use in real work contexts:
Action Learning Log (25%): A reflective log tracking learning progression throughout the course.
Written Assessment (75%): A report on integrating ChatGPT into professional practice, demonstrating how ChatGPT has been integrated into existing workflows and how its use will be maintained and improved.
What are the benefits of a Professional Academy Diploma?
UCD Professional Academy Diplomas and Certificates are designed to give your career an advantage. Developed in conjunction with industry thought leaders our courses teach practical, applied skills to support you to achieve your career and business goals. Professional Academy Diplomas are suitable for career minded learners wishing to advance their professional skills and prospects rather than their academic credentials.
The Professional Academy is an independent wholly owned part of UCD designed to address the need for skills development in the workforce. Courses tend to be short, designed and delivered by industry practitioners, and are not part of nor do they lead to a traditional University award such as a degree or a masters. They are widely accepted by employers and many students are sponsored to study by their organisation.
