FAQs
Can I complete this course on my phone?
If the course shows a Mobile-first badge, yes — lessons, tools and practice tasks are all designed for a phone screen.
Is this beginner-friendly?
Beginner-level courses assume nothing. Intermediate courses assume you're comfortable using a chat AI tool day to day.
Do I get lifetime access?
Yes. Once you enrol, you keep access to the course, including updates as tools change.
What if I get stuck?
Ask HAI inside the course, or post in the cohort space. Every lesson has a practice check.
