UCD Professional Academy AI courses: which to take (2026)
Choose a UCD Professional Academy course by the tool you use: the ChatGPT or Microsoft 365 Copilot diplomas for productivity, the AI for Business diploma for strategy, or the shorter Generative AI Skill Sprint to try it first. We list 4 courses, all paid and all beginner level. The main caveat: no price is shown on any course page, and two diplomas need paid AI tool subscriptions.

Which UCD Professional Academy course should I start with?
All four are beginner level, so choose by goal. Try the Generative AI Skill Sprint (six hours over three weeks per level) first; for a non-technical business view take the Professional Academy Diploma in Artificial Intelligence for Business. If your work runs on a specific tool, pick the Professional Academy Diploma in AI Productivity with ChatGPT or the Professional Academy Diploma in AI Prompt Engineering with Microsoft 365 Copilot.
