This 1-day beginner ChatGPT course is an instructor-led introduction to using ChatGPT effectively for work, learning, and everyday productivity. The course is delivered in Belfast, Dublin, and across the UK, and is suitable for beginners with little or no prior experience of artificial intelligence or AI tools.
The course is designed for professionals, educators, students, business owners, and teams who want to understand what ChatGPT is, how it works, and how to use it confidently in real-world situations. Participants will learn how to communicate clearly with ChatGPT, write effective prompts, refine responses, and apply the tool to common tasks such as writing, research, idea generation, planning, problem-solving, and content creation.
Rather than presenting ChatGPT as a replacement for human thinking, the training emphasises good judgement, critical thinking, and responsible use, showing how ChatGPT can support productivity, creativity, and decision-making when used correctly.
By the end of the course, participants attending in Belfast, Dublin, or elsewhere in the UK will understand how to use ChatGPT as a reliable everyday tool, avoid common beginner mistakes, and apply AI assistance appropriately across a wide range of personal and professional tasks.

Both course content and instructor knowledge is exceptional – fresh, engaging and relevant. The ongoing support that Big Rock Designs provides is a real plus. I plan to attend future courses and would recommend other do too!

Although my Photoshop knowledge was very limited, I found the organised sessions very easy to follow and I was over the moon at the amount I had learned. I’m looking forward to putting it all into practice in the coming months ahead.

As someone who has attended numerous digital workshops and training I can honestly say Big Rock Academy’s introduction to Photoshop was the best I’ve ever experienced. They excelled in teaching us the logic behind the main tools in a very easy to understand way.

I just completed the Advanced Photoshop course at Big Rock Academy and I’m extremely pleased with what I’ve learnt. I now feel equipped to put it into practice in my job. I had a great teacher and I was able to really get to grasps with the software very quickly.
