ChatGPT Course

In the ChatGPT Course you do not learn a collection of loose tips. You learn a repeatable way of working with review points that catch mistakes before you send anything. You start with how a language model arrives at an answer and where it fails structurally, because without that foundation you cannot tell when to distrust the output. Then you choose a concrete task from your own work that you do regularly.

Around that task you build a way of working. You learn the five elements that make a prompt predictable: role, context, goal, output and criteria. You learn three basic applications for recurring work, namely writing, analysing and planning, and use them to build one workflow of your own with review points. And you learn five check questions that you apply before you share or publish anything.

In the practical assignments you run the workflow on a real piece of work from your own job. For each step you record the prompt, your own action and the review point, and you check the output with the five check questions. At the end you have a personal AI work portfolio and a certificate. You secure your way of working in a Project, so you can reuse it straight after the course without starting over. In module 8 you also learn when to hand a task to ChatGPT Work, which carries out steps for you, and which working agreements you set before it acts on your behalf.

The ChatGPT Course is for professionals who deliver work under their own name and must be able to account for it. In concrete terms:

• Professionals who already use ChatGPT but without a fixed way of working, and get inconsistent quality as a result
• Marketing and communication specialists who produce copy, campaigns and customer communication
• HR advisers and policy officers who work where factual accuracy counts
• Consultants, advisers and content creators who release their output under their own name
• Managers and project leaders who want to learn for themselves what works before they train their team
• Freelancers and self-employed professionals who want to document their way of working and make it repeatable

You do the assignments on real tasks from your own work, so you decide whether that is a client email, a policy memo or a product description. Only just started with ChatGPT? Then begin with the 10-minute Free ChatGPT Starter Course; this course follows on from it directly.

The ChatGPT e-learning has eight modules that you follow at your own pace, each with a practical assignment on your own work, plus a final assignment that brings the results together. The modules build up from understanding where ChatGPT fails to a secured, repeatable way of working.

Module	Topic	What you learn
1	How ChatGPT works and fails	Understanding how ChatGPT, as a language model, arrives at an answer, recognising where it goes wrong structurally (hallucinations, made-up figures, convincing but wrong summaries) and which model choice suits which situation.
2	Choosing the right use case	Selecting a concrete task from your own work using four questions per use case, and turning it into a structured AI instruction with clear boundaries.
3	Prompting as a skill	Applying the five elements of a usable prompt (role, context, goal, output, criteria) and working iteratively to get usable output instead of generic text. Including building your own prompt library.
4	Building AI workflows	From one-off prompts to a workflow: three basic applications for writing, analysing and planning, and one workflow of your own with review points, documented so that a colleague can take it over.
5	Quality control	Checking output systematically with five fixed check questions and concrete verification techniques, and dealing with assumptions, missing sources and privacy risks.
6	Embedding your way of working with Projects	Recording your way of working in a Project so you can reuse it straight after the course, without starting over in every new session.
7	Making your way of working transferable	Sharing your Project with colleagues and choosing the right access level, deciding what ChatGPT remembers and when you limit that, and what the phase-out of Custom GPTs and the move to Plugins mean for your way of working. In Assignment 7.1 a colleague carries out one task with your shared Project, so you can see where your instructions still need explaining.
8	Agentic work with ChatGPT Work	When to hand a task to Work rather than to a regular chat or deep research, how permissions for local files, apps and plugins work, and which working agreements you set before ChatGPT acts on your behalf. Ends with your own AI work portfolio.

How each module is structured

Each module of the ChatGPT Course contains lessons, a practical assignment on your own work, transfer and scenario questions and a knowledge check with instant feedback. A transfer question presents a situation that was not literally in the lesson. A scenario question makes you choose between two options that both seem defensible. The knowledge check tests whether the explanation has stuck. For the certificate you score at least 80 percent on each knowledge check; you may retake it as often as you like. The final assignment brings the eight end products together in one personal AI work portfolio with a self-evaluation.

Example prompt from module 3

In module 3 of the ChatGPT Course you learn to build a prompt as a fixed structure rather than as a trick. This is what the five elements look like for the example at the top of this page, exactly as you then build them for your own recurring tasks.

Role: policy adviser writing for senior management.
Context: senior management was briefed last month.
Goal: after reading, senior management can make a decision.
Output: max 200 words, decisions first, then risks.
Criteria: do not fill in missing figures, flag them.

Three examples of practical assignments

Each module of the ChatGPT Course ends with a practical assignment of 30 to 60 minutes on your own work, with steps, a worked example and a self-check. Three of them show how the way of working plays out in practice:

• Module 2: score five tasks from your own week against the four questions from the lesson and choose your top three use cases. For each use case you record what ChatGPT does, what you safeguard and which data stays out.
• Module 3: build a prompt library for those three use cases, with a tested prompt, a fixed test case and a template you then reuse for each task.
• Module 5: draw up a review protocol for your own work. You run the output of your workflow through the five check questions, trace three sources from a deep research report and set the review level for each use case.

The final assignment on your own work

In the final assignment of the ChatGPT Course you bring the end products of the eight practical assignments together in one personal AI work portfolio. It holds your error log, use case scorecard, prompt library, workflow with review points, review protocol, configured Project, transferable project instructions, and your task brief, report and working agreement for Work, completed with a self-evaluation. Not a fictional practice scenario, but a piece of your own work that you reuse straight after the course.

You keep that final portfolio yourself. You do not submit client documents or internal documents for assessment, so confidential work stays within your own environment; you assess the result with the self-evaluation from the course.

The best ChatGPT course teaches you a way of working that you repeat in your own work, with a fixed check of what ChatGPT produces. Loose prompt tips go out of date as soon as OpenAI releases a new model or a new feature.

• You practise on tasks from your own work instead of on standard examples.
• You learn to check output for made-up figures, missing sources and privacy risks.
• You record your way of working, so you keep using it after the course.

This ChatGPT Course is built on those three points: eight modules, each with a practical assignment on your own work, five fixed check questions and a final assignment that brings everything together in a Project.

Taking a ChatGPT course pays off when you learn what you do not easily pick up from blogs or YouTube: recognising when output is unreliable. ChatGPT generates text based on patterns, not on facts. That is how you end up with a well-phrased paragraph without any basis, a statistic without a source or a summary that leaves out the nuance.

Your name is on the document and your organisation carries the risk. "ChatGPT said so" does not hold up with your manager, your client or your compliance department. That is why this course teaches you a repeatable way of working with review points, which you keep using in your daily work and can hand over to colleagues.

Another AI course suits you better if your work consists mainly of long documents, if your organisation has no agreements yet about what may go into an AI tool, or if you want to automate tasks rather than carry them out. All courses start from the same basis, checking against the source before output goes out; how that is worked out differs per course.

Course	Choose this if	Time
AI Literacy course	You use AI without agreements on input, checking and responsibility, and want to lay that foundation first	8 hours
Claude Course	You work with contracts, policy documents and reports running to dozens of pages	9 to 11 hours
AI Automation Course	You want to automate recurring work, without code through Zapier or Make, or with Python	8 to 9.5 hours

If you later combine this ChatGPT Course with a second course, that one goes faster: the principles for checking are the same everywhere.

How much does the ChatGPT Course cost?

The ChatGPT Course costs €149.99 per person incl. VAT. Business customers reclaim the VAT through their VAT return. For teams of five or more employees, the course runs through the office licence: €169.99, €149.99 or €129.99 incl. VAT per employee per year, depending on team size, for all four courses.

How do I enrol several colleagues at once?

From five employees, you enrol several colleagues at once in the ChatGPT Course through the office licence: you tell us how many employees via the contact page, receive a quote within two working days and pay by invoice. We set up an account for every employee, so certificates and completion dates stay traceable per person. With two to four colleagues, each person buys the course separately in their own name. Do not put several copies of the same course in one shopping basket: one order enrols one account.

Can I get an invoice in my company name?

You receive an invoice in your company name for the ChatGPT Course straight after purchase, with a VAT breakdown, so your accounts department can process it right away. You pay for individual seats with iDEAL or credit card. For five or more employees, you request a quote for the office licence and pay by invoice in your organisation's name.

Can I use the ChatGPT Course as a training or workshop for my team?

You can use the ChatGPT Course as a training or workshop for a whole team. Each participant gets their own account and follows the same modules at their own pace, with 12 months of access. Afterwards, discuss the practical assignments together in a team meeting, so everyone uses ChatGPT with the same review points.

From five employees, that runs through the office licence, or through AI Literacy for teams if everyone mainly needs the same foundation. Both are on the page about AI training for teams.

Is there a ChatGPT course for beginners?

The ChatGPT Course is suitable for beginners: you need no technical background and do not have to be able to write prompts beforehand. You get the most out of it if you have used ChatGPT a few times already. If you do not use it at all yet, start with the free 10-minute starter course and then move on to this course.

How do you learn to work with ChatGPT?

You learn to work with ChatGPT by practising on a task you do regularly, with a fixed approach. In the ChatGPT Course you start with where ChatGPT makes mistakes, choose a task from your own work and build a workflow with review points around it. You record that way of working in a Project, so you keep reusing it.

Is the course video or text?

The ChatGPT Course consists of text lessons with practical tips, practical assignments on your own work, knowledge checks and transfer questions. You read at your own pace and can reread any lesson later for reference, which is harder with video. That way you use the course while learning and afterwards as a reference whenever you rebuild a prompt.

Do I need a paid ChatGPT account for the course?

A free ChatGPT account is enough for seven of the eight modules of the ChatGPT Course. Projects also works on the free plan, with a lower file limit: five files per project, compared with twenty-five on Go and Plus and forty on Pro and the business plans. A paid plan also gives access to the heavier models and higher message limits, which is mainly helpful for the more intensive exercises in module 6. Module 8 on ChatGPT Work is an exception: on the web and mobile, Work is available on paid plans only. Without a paid plan, you do Assignment 8.1 as a simulation; what the desktop app shows on a free account differs per account.

Which model is on which plan changes at OpenAI a few times a year. That is why the course is not built on a specific model version; module 1 teaches you to weigh up a fast model against a heavier one, whatever they happen to be called at the time.

How much time does the course take?

The ChatGPT Course has eight modules, each with a practical assignment on your own work, plus a final assignment: eight to nine hours in total, including practical assignments. You follow the course at your own pace, so you decide whether to finish it in a few days or spread it over a few weeks. After purchase you have 12 months of access to all the material.

Does the course stay up to date?

The ChatGPT Course stays up to date: I update the content when OpenAI releases new models or features, which happens a few times a year. The most recent update round ran in October 2026. Within your 12 months of access you always work with the current version.

Do I get a certificate on completion?

Yes, after the ChatGPT Course you receive a certificate of completion in your name, with the date, a certificate number and a verification code that an employer or professional body can use to check it online. To earn it, you complete all lessons and the final assignment and score at least 80 percent on each knowledge check. It comes with a learning record listing the learning objectives per module and the study load, which you can include as evidence in your CPD file. You can share it with your employer or add it to your portfolio. Within an organisation, you record the completion as a learning activity in your L&D or HR system.

Can I return the course if I am not satisfied?

As a private individual, you get your money back for the ChatGPT Course within 14 days of purchase, as long as you have completed no more than 20 percent of the course. This is LearnLLM's own satisfaction guarantee. The statutory right of withdrawal lapses as soon as you get access, because at checkout you agree to immediate delivery and waive that right. If you pay in a company name or with a VAT number, you are buying as a business and the guarantee does not apply. Send your request to info@learnllm.nl; the full conditions are in the refund policy.

Will my employer pay for the course?

Some employers reimburse the ChatGPT Course from their training budget. You receive an invoice straight after purchase that you can submit as an expense claim. Because the course counts as further training, it usually falls within a training or development budget. If in doubt, check with HR or your manager beforehand.
