Develop a clear understanding of how AI works and how to use it responsibly and effectively in your day-to-day role.
Master practical skills to develop effective prompts and AI Agents, undertake critical evaluation and iterative improvement, so you can get reliable, high-quality results from AI tools for real-world challenges.
Use real examples from your role to experiment with AI for writing, analysis, planning and communication to turn insight into immediate impact.
Build simple, repeatable routines and safeguards that help you reduce fear, increase adoption and make AI part of how you work every week.
Build practical confidence using AI through real-world tasks that translate directly to professional contexts.
Learn to design high-quality prompts, assess AI outputs with rigour and apply frameworks that improve accuracy and decision quality.
Move beyond curiosity to capability—develop sustainable habits, overcome resistance and build trust in responsible AI use.
Gain insight from leading practitioners at the intersection of psychology, leadership and technology, supported by AGSM’s applied learning approach.
Build the literacy, practical skills and professional habits to use AI effectively and responsibly in your daily work. AI Unlocked empowers you to move beyond experimentation to confident, high-quality application.
You’ll learn how to craft precise prompts, build an AI Agent, evaluate AI outputs with rigour and integrate trustworthy tools into your workflow to enhance clarity, creativity and decision quality.

|---|---|---|---|
AI readiness Diagnose your current AI capability and identify high-value use cases in your role and team. Apply foundational AI concepts and current trends to make informed, low-risk adoption decisions while addressing common concerns and barriers. |
Prompt engineering and AI Agent creation Construct effective prompts (including task, context, constraints and criteria) to reliably generate usable outputs for writing, analysis, ideation and planning. Iteratively refine prompts using structured feedback loops to improve accuracy, transparency and efficiency. |
AI literacy Evaluate AI outputs for quality, bias and risk using clear criteria (accuracy, sources, explainability, confidentiality). Implement responsible use practices (red-teaming, verification, versioning) to build trust, reduce errors and form sustainable AI habits. |
Future-ready & wrap-up Build a personalised AI workflow for your role, including a small set of “go-to” tools and repeatable routines. Develop an adoption plan that embeds micro-habits and safeguards to sustain behaviour change beyond the course. |
By completing this course, you will receive a verifiable digital badge issued by AGSM, certifying your achievement.
The Australian Graduate School of Management (AGSM) will formally recognise your commitment to professional development and lifelong learning with the Certificate in Executive Management and Development (CEMD). The CEMD is a flexible program that allows you to build your leadership capabilities through stackable learning.
A CEMD is a unique pathway to future study that can directly contribute to accelerating the attainment of an AGSM MBA or Graduate Certificate if you choose to embark on this journey in the future. Each time you complete a short course with the AGSM, we’ll award you with CEMD points. CEMD points can be collected and stacked together to create a unique professional development pathway that works for you and your specific career goals.
Once you collect 12 points over a period of up to 4 years you will be awarded the CEMD. The CEMD is a specialised credential and can contribute to 2 course credits towards our AGSM MBA and Graduate Certificate qualifications.
This flexible model supports continuous learning and creates a recognised pathway from short courses to postgraduate qualifications at UNSW's AGSM.
