What Our Students Say About Vertical Institute
Fion Heu
Generative AI Course Alumni, Sep 2025
This course sharpened my AI skills through hands-on practice with ChatGPT, Copilot, and Claude, while strengthening my prompt engineering techniques. I also explored advanced methods like Tree/Graph of Thought prompting and Custom GPTs. Grateful to Vertical Institute for a comprehensive course.
Boon Peng Yeo
Generative AI Course Alumni, Sep 2025
I love how the course focused on prompt engineering concepts: from zero-shot prompting to chain-of-thought reasoning, where you guide the AI through step-by-step logic. My instructor didn’t just teach us to use these tools; he made us understand that prompt engineering is part psychology, part linguistics, and part strategic thinking. Very useful for my consulting career.

Vertical Institute Alumni
Excellent Gen AI course for beginners. Came with zero knowledge. At the end of the course managed to leverage on GenAi to complete the Capstone project. Thankful for my instructor and teaching assistant.

FAQs About the Introduction to AI Course
What's the difference between AI, machine learning, and generative AI?
AI is the broad field of building systems that perform human-like tasks. Machine learning is a method within AI that learns patterns from data. Generative AI is a subset that creates new content, like text or images, based on what it’s learned.
Do I need a maths or statistics background to understand this course?
No. The course focuses on applied concepts and hands-on practice rather than the underlying mathematics, so no statistics background is required.
How is AI actually used in industries like finance, healthcare, or marketing?
Common applications include automating repetitive analysis, summarising large volumes of information, and supporting faster, more informed decision-making, areas this course introduces through practical examples.
How can AI be useful in daily life, not just at work?
The same skills apply outside the office too, things like planning, drafting messages, simplifying complex information, or organising everyday tasks. It’s less about a specific industry and more about asking better questions to get useful answers.
Is this course beginner-friendly?
Yes. No prior AI or technical experience is needed. The course starts with foundational concepts before building up to more advanced techniques, so it’s accessible even if you’re starting from scratch.
What will I actually learn in the Introduction to AI Course?
Over 21.5 hours, you’ll cover generative AI and machine learning fundamentals, decision tree modelling, text analysis, prompting techniques, and AI ethics, building toward more advanced AI skills.
What certificate do I receive at the end?
You’ll receive a certificate from Vertical Institute upon completion, along with a WSQ Statement of Attainment.
What subsidies can reduce the cost of this course?
Yes. This course qualifies for SSG funding, which covers up to 70% of the fee for eligible Singapore Citizens and PRs. Singapore Citizens can also tap into SkillsFuture Credit and PSEA to bring the out-of-pocket cost down further. UTAP is available to NTUC members, including non-Singapore Citizens, subject to individual eligibility.
Is corporate training available for my team at work?
Yes. Vertical Institute offers corporate Generative AI training for companies of all sizes.
