AI Clinics:
Become an AI Pro at MDC

• No prior coding experience is required for any level. Levels 1 and 2 involve no coding whatsoever. While Level 3 is designed for hands-on builders who will create, run, and deploy code, no previous programming background is necessary, you will do it all with the assistance of AI.

• Graduates leave able to prompt effectively, research and synthesize information with AI, automate recurring tasks, connect AI tools to everyday apps, and, for technical learners, build custom AI agents.

Format & Time Commitment:

• Duration: 4 weeks per level
• In-Person Workshops: One 3-hour session per week (12 total contact hours). Days and campuses vary by cohort (see program list above).
• Self-Paced Work Between Sessions:
• Level 1: Google courses on Coursera
• Level 2: Anthropic Academy courses
• Level 3: hands-on lab assignments on your own laptop

• Level 1 covers a broad range of leading tools, including chatbots (ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, etc.), Suno, Udio, heygen, Synthesia, Midjourney, Google Vids, Otter, Gemini Notebook, Google AI Studio, Zapier and N8N.
• Level 2 is taught with Anthropic’s Claude (Cowork, Projects, Skills and connectors to your everyday apps). You may follow along with comparable tools such as Microsoft Copilot if you prefer.
• Level 3 centers on Claude Code, with comparisons to OpenAI Codex, Google Antigravity and GitHub Copilot, plus GitHub, Hugging Face and cloud hosting platforms.

• Level 1 uses only free versions or free trials. Levels 2 and 3 use features that require a paid subscription, purchased separately.
• Level 2: a Claude Pro plan, or a comparable paid plan such as Microsoft 365 Copilot if you choose that option.
• Level 3: a paid Claude plan (Pro or Max) or similar in OpenAI, Google, etc. depending on your preferred environment.
• Please have your plan active before the first workshop.

• A laptop (Windows or macOS) and a smartphone for every workshop.
• Level 1 also requires a Gmail account to use when logging into AI applications on the web.
• For Level 2 you will also require a Claude Pro (or similar) account with available tokens.
• For Level 3, make sure you can install software on your laptop, because you’ll install coding tools and environments. Company-managed laptops with install restrictions may not work.

• Every level awards an MDC Certificate of Completion when you complete the online or lab work and attend the workshops. In addition, Level 1 participants earn the Google AI Professional Certificate (plus 8 individual course certificates from Google) through Coursera, and Level 2 participants earn an Anthropic Academy certificate for each course they complete.

• After Level 1, you’ll use AI confidently to research, write, create content and analyze data, and you’ll know which tool fits which job.
• After Level 2, you’ll delegate real work to AI. You’ll build projects and reusable skills, connect AI to your email, calendar and files, and set up recurring automated tasks.
• After Level 3, you’ll be able to take an idea to a live, version-controlled app on the web, and you’ll understand your options for open models, local models and the cloud.

• Yes. Each cohort shares a WhatsApp group for daily questions and resources, and instructors host free weekly office hours every Monday from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. (in person at the Wolfson Campus AI Center or via Zoom). The program wraps up with a project presentation during the final class showcase.

• Yes. Select Level 1 cohorts are taught in Spanish. Look for “Clínica de IA” in the program list above.
