AI Training

Building practical AI capability for businesses across Australia

Learn generative AI from the people who build generative AI solutions

At Time Under Tension, we’ve been privileged to work with some of Australia’s leading companies to demystify generative AI and turn curiosity into capability.

Our training is led by doers - our team, who build real generative AI solutions, so your teams learn what works in practice, not just in theory.

From marketing teams to IP specialists, our programs have equipped hundreds of professionals with the skills and confidence to apply AI in their daily workflows.

The AI Academy

The Time Under Tension AI Academy is a 8 week program of generative AI training, based on a set of interactive, hands-on training modules. Each module is tailored to your organisations tasks and jobs, and can be delivered as a complete training programme or select modules.

  • Give your teams a confident, realistic understanding of what modern AI can and cannot do. We cover the current model landscape, core concepts, and the risks and guardrails that matter for Australian organisations, then ground it in live demos and hands on exercises.

    Outcomes

    • Shared language about AI across the business

    • Clear understanding of responsible and safe use

    • First practical wins people can use the same day

  • Move from “trying prompts” to using AI as a serious productivity tool. This module focuses on everyday work scenarios such as summarising, drafting, structuring information and switching between models to get better results.

    Platforms & Tools (examples)

    • AI Chatbots (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity)

    • Microsoft 365 Copilot for email, meetings, documents and presentations

    • Gemini for workspace across Gmail, Docs, Sheets and Slides

    Outcomes

    • Repeatable prompting patterns for day to day tasks

    • Better documents, faster, with less grunt work

    • Confidence choosing the right tool for the job

  • Show teams how to create on brand content, images, audio and video assets with AI while staying within your approvals and compliance processes. We explore what is possible today with media models, and where the boundaries should be.

    Outcomes

    • Faster content and campaign development

    • Consistent tone and brand across AI generated assets

    • Practical guidelines for where human review is still essential

  • Deepen capability for people who work with large volumes of information. This module focuses on using reasoning models for research, analysis and decision support, and on turning document sets into living knowledge bases for teams.

    Platforms & Tools

    • Using and advanced features in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

    • Building light weight knowledge hubs in tools like NotebookLM

    Outcomes

    • Faster, higher quality research and insights

    Outcomes

    • Working proof of concept automations and agents

    • Practical understanding of where agentic AI is useful today

    • A clearer view of emerging tools and what to watch
