Course: AI In Action

One hour a week to add AI to your existing skillset, for digital teams and IT leadership.

No fluff. Just real, practical capability you can use on the job.

  • I've seen first hand Alex's ability to help organisations understand AI and see how they can apply it. He has a rare ability to demistify complex subjects and make them real for business. Highly recommended.

    Rita K, Technical Specialist, Microsoft Australia

  • There is only a very small collection of people in Australia who have both the expertise and hands-on experience building real applications with generative AI, and Alex is one of the very best.

    Stuart T, Telstra

  • In just a short period of time Alex demistified generative AI for our software development team, and through this has helped us shape our product roadmap to deliver even greater value for our customers. He doesn't just talk the talk, he walks it too.

He holds 4 Salesforce certifications and 5 Microsoft certifications across Power Platform, Azure Data, and AI, and is a hands-on developer fluent in Python, Node.js, and React.

Alex is also an inventor with a patent in AI vision, underscoring his commitment to innovation and real-world impact.

Widely regarded for his ability to demystify complex technology, Alex makes hard concepts easy to understand and apply. His focus is on helping teams move from experimentation to execution with confidence.

In this program, you’ll benefit from his practical expertise, clear teaching style, and passion for building AI that delivers measurable value.

Here’s why this course is the best for your team

  • This course focuses on one thing - generative AI - and how organisations can use it.

    It’s designed for digital teams and technologists who are keen to add generative AI to their existing set of skills.

    It’s not a complete course on AI spanning analytics, machine learning or vision systems.

    Instead we focus on what we consider to be the most important aspect of AI for businesses, as once you see it, you’ll see how transformative generative AI can be for organisations of all sizes.

  • Many AI courses spend a lot of time on the theory, because their authors lack the practical “on the job” experience needed to help your team understand how they can apply AI in a practical sense.

    Hypergen’s core business is delivering AI projects, and we share our learnings here.

    What you end up with is a practical course, built from years of experience designing and delivering generative AI solutions to large Australian organisations.

    So we will teach you what you need to know to be successful with this new generation of generative AI.

  • We limit participants to 25 people per class. This enables participants to engage with the instructor, and ask plenty of questions to accelerate their understanding.

    This small class size, combined with an expert in the field as your instructor, ensures the learnings you gain are unparalleled, both in terms of time efficiency and quality of learning outcomes.

  • Your instructor Alex is well known for his ability to demistify complex topics into easily understandable messages.

    Alex has been at the forefront of generative AI in Australia, leading teams delivering AI projects to some of the largest institutions in the country.

    Combined with his experience leading Hypergen, participants will gain excellent insights that accelerate their learning in a way that they can use immediately in their day job.

  • This course takes just one hour of your time each week, with optional coursework if you wish to get hands-on.

    Classes have been deliberately spread one week apart, as this (a) generally fits into calendars and (b) enables participants to reflect on the course content and bring their questions along, to enhance the learning experience for eveyone.

  • This course has been designed to be high impact while light on your wallet.

    You can book via credit card, and being under AUD $1000 per participant tends to fit inside most budget envelopes.

    The cost of the course is roughly equal to the fully loaded cost of a mid-level employee for a single day of work.

  • Being grounded in practical examples, we are very confident you can identify ways to recover at least 10x your investment within 6 months of this course.

    If you can’t, then let us know and we will run a free AI workshop with your leadership team at your offices, in any capital city in Australia.
