Three programmes. The Darla Method applied to whichever AI you are working with, plus a dedicated programme for SME owners running Claude for Small Business. Free, self-guided, and built around the work you actually do.
Most AI training teaches you what a system can do. This teaches you how to work with it: every day, for real tasks, at a professional standard.
Each course follows the same structure: a question you would actually ask, an answer that treats you as a capable professional, and a prompt you can try immediately on your own work. No demos. No generic exercises.
Both courses cover the same Darla Method foundations. Choose the AI you are using (or plan to use) and start there. You can always come back and take the other one.
The training programme for SME owners running Claude for Small Business (launched May 2026 by Anthropic). Three tiers, sixty-nine lessons. Built for SMEs worldwide - APAC, the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.
Built around Claude's specific capabilities: Personal Settings, Projects, Memory, Artifacts, Skills, Connectors, Cowork, Excel & PowerPoint, and Plugins. The deepest integration with the Darla Method.
Built around ChatGPT's capabilities: Custom Instructions, the 4Ds framework, prompting, Custom GPTs, DALL-E image generation, Projects, and daily workflow. Build your personalised Darla inside ChatGPT.
Start with Claude. It has the deepest integration with the Darla Method and the most advanced free features. If your organisation uses ChatGPT, take that course second; the foundations carry across.
Speaking to your AI is covered in the setup module of both courses. It is the most natural way to work with AI, and giving your assistant a name shifts the relationship from operating a system to working with a thinking partner.
Pass the final quiz in either course and you receive an unlock code for Stage 2 - six advanced courses, thirty lessons, and the Claude Practitioner or ChatGPT Practitioner certificate. Each Stage 2 is platform-specific and built around the deeper capabilities of that AI.
If you have your unlock code from the final quiz, Stage 2 is waiting. Six advanced courses, thirty lessons, and your platform-specific Practitioner certificate.
