What to prepare
How you learn at CTAD
CTAD’s ALA means Adaptive Learning Architecture. You learn by doing. Watch the trainer demonstrate tasks and practise along for three hours. Then try your own idea for one hour, with trainer feedback. As AI tools change, learn how to find information, test it and adjust the way you work.
Course curriculum
First three hours of live demonstration and practice: Choose a task; save project instructions; upload Drive examples; test normal and unclear requests in Work; improve the setup. Final hour: try your own task in the playground and check it with the trainer.
