During this 8-hour deep dive, you will be introduced to the key techniques, services, and trends that will help you understand foundation models from the ground up. This means breaking down theory, mathematics, and abstract concepts combined with hands-on exercises to gain functional intuition for practical application. Throughout the course, we focus on a wide spectrum of progressively complex generative AI techniques, giving you a strong base to understand, design, and apply your own models for the best performance. We’ll start with recapping foundation models, understanding where they come from, how they work, how they relate to generative AI, and what you can to do customize them. You’ll then learn about picking the right foundation model to suit your use case.

This course is designed for trainers, facilitators, learning specialists, and project leaders who want to enhance their ability to design impactful training that drives real behavioural change. It is also ideal for organisations aiming to multiply the impact of their initiatives by embedding a Training of Trainers (TOT) approach.
