Safe AI at Work

About 20 minutes · 6 modules · Pass mark 80%

100% online · At your own pace · No booking needed

Employees complete the lessons and quiz on their own computer, whenever suits them — no scheduled classes or appointments.

Safe AI at Work shows employees how to get the benefits of AI tools without leaking confidential information, passing on made-up answers, or falling for AI-powered scams. It takes about 20 minutes across six short modules.

Who it's for: every employee who uses — or might use — tools like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, Claude, AI meeting note-takers, or AI features built into everyday apps. No technical knowledge needed.

How it works:

  • Six modules of 3–4 minutes each, with a short knowledge check after each one.
  • One short video introduces the course.
  • A 12-question final assessment. Pass mark 80% (10 of 12). Unlimited retries.
  • On passing, you receive a certificate and your employer's training register is updated.

By the end you will be able to:

  1. Explain what can happen to information you type, paste, upload or say into an AI tool.
  2. Decide what you must never put into an AI tool, and how that links to POPIA.
  3. Use only the AI tools your employer has approved, and know why.
  4. Check AI output before you rely on it or send it to anyone.
  5. Recognise deepfake voice, video and AI-written scams, and verify before you act.

The four rules to remember: Approved tools only. Nothing confidential or personal goes in. Check everything that comes out. Verify any urgent request on a second channel.

AI is a useful assistant, not a decision-maker. You stay responsible for what you share with it and what you do with its answers.
