What Our Students Say
Don't just take our word for it. Hear from professionals who've transformed their AI confidence through Hartz AI Academy.
"Craig's Prompt Engineering course was nothing short of transformative. The 3 days were full of lightbulb moments and clarity in a way that you can only experience when sitting in the training room. What stood out was the trainer's ability to break down complex concepts into simple, practical steps that I could immediately apply across my organisation. The insights streamlined my workflow, improved project work, and helped me share knowledge across the senior leadership team. I learned how to craft precise prompts through priming and contextualising, producing highly relevant and actionable responses. This training is a must for anyone looking to harness the full potential of AI."
Melissa Sher
Head of Operations, Camp Simcha
"I attended Craig's Prompt Engineering course which was spread over 3 days and was everything I had hoped it would be and much more. It was very informative and after each session I was left eager as the possibilities of how this would transform my way of working. Craig took the time to explain everything clearly and in bite size portions so you did not have the feeling of being overwhelmed. We learned how to prompt and prime, dance (!) and ask questions to get responses that are game changing. I dabbled in AI before this course but now I feel confident using AI to its potential and cannot wait to share the knowledge with the rest of the team. The sessions flew by and I am so pleased I chose this course, it was so worth it."
Amanda Fisher
Head of Operations, JBD
"Great course & great instructor. Before I did this course on AI prompting, I didn't see what all the fuss was about. However, with what I have learnt during this course, I realise proper AI prompting is an unbelievably powerful tool. This course has left me very excited about all the things one can do with properly structured AI prompts and the infinite use-cases to which it can be applied. Simply put, the content of this course is great! Craig is outstanding in the way he runs his course. It was engaging, hands-on, and fun. Thank you for a great course and for making it so engaging and fun!"
Charles Darwish
CEO, Cashmere Choice
"I had the pleasure of completing four one-hour sessions with Craig and they were absolutely fantastic. Each session was packed with valuable insights, all delivered in a clear and engaging way. The content was informative and practical, making it easy to apply within my organisation. Highly recommend!"
