AI AT WORK · DEFINE THE WORK BEFORE YOU DELEGATE IT
Define the outcome.
Test the handoff.
A polished AI draft can still solve the wrong problem. Learn to specify who needs the work, the decision it supports, approved inputs, action limits and tests before you delegate to an assistant, colleague or automation.
Show how you delegate: a clear brief, checkable tests and an assessed completion credential.
- About 3.5 hours
- Six practical modules
- Seven narrated explainers
- Instructor-reviewed case
THE HANDOFF THAT MATTERS
The output looks finished. Did you define the right job?
The assistant follows an unapproved spreadsheet.
Name the controlling source, required fields and how discrepancies reach the owner.
“Accurate and professional” is the only check.
Replace adjectives with input conditions and expected results a reviewer can inspect.
MAKE YOUR METHOD VISIBLE
Bring a brief someone else can follow.
A task brief
State the user, decision, scope, approved inputs, output and permissions.
Five acceptance tests
Use ordinary and edge cases, expected outcomes and a check on prohibited actions.
An exception and revision plan
Name who resolves missing or conflicting data and connect a focused change to a retest.
Use authorized, redacted work to document your application. Employer recognition depends on your role and demonstrated results.
EARN IT. KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.
A verifiable record of assessed completion.
Complete the required labs and reflections. Pass an independent case reviewed by an instructor at 16/20, its decisions at 10/12, with no unresolved critical error. Pass the 30-question final exam at 80 percent.
Three distinct exam versions, three attempts and a 24-hour wait after an unsuccessful attempt. The online exam is unsupervised.
Your name. The course. The assessment record.
The certificate records completion of this training and its assessments. It is not accreditation, a license or permission to operate a workflow.

Coach Q helps you reason through the brief.
Your AI quality and compliance colleague helps you clarify a brief and draft documents. Check its output against approved facts and permissions.
Independent assessment help is limited to clarification and navigation.
Illustrative practice exchange
You: Our approved queue says open, but an old unapproved tracker says closed. Which status should the draft use?
Coach Q: Use the approved queue for its stated purpose; disclose the tracker discrepancy for owner reconciliation.
Coach Q: If two approved sources conflict and no precedence is defined, hold the consequential decision and ask the authorized owner.
