It is well laid out, easy to follow, and packed with substance—providing the context and tools needed to increase effectiveness with generative AI. Just the information on prompting was worth the price. My brain has a happy buzz, and I am genuinely inspired. If you've been unclear about how AI can help or need more guidance to get started, I highly recommend this course."

"I purchased licenses for Nicole Leffer’s 'Foundations of Generative AI for B2B Marketing' course for 18 members of my marketing team at Katalon. I knew we needed a solution to help us get more work done with the same number of people, and this course delivered exactly that. This small investment led to a big payoff. The ROI has been undeniable. We recently held an internal showcase where the team presented how they’ve been applying what they learned in the course. Beyond the impressive results—more productivity and creativity—the team genuinely enjoyed the process. Every example of their work was fantastic, and the course received high marks from everyone who participated. As marketing leaders, one of our most critical responsibilities is to equip our teams with the tools and skills they need to thrive. Nicole’s course enabled my team to produce higher-quality output, faster, without increasing our operational costs. And when you can't have as many people on your marketing team as you'd like, it’s incredible when you can make your current team members 5-10x more productive. Kudos to Nicole for putting together such a high-caliber course."

"Let’s face it - becoming comfortable and competent with AI prompting has fast become a requirement for almost any role in marketing. Really understanding the process when working with ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini or any AI platform will put you at the head of the class. I took Nicole’s course early on and I continue to come back to it because she has clearly laid out the bedrock principles for crafting a valuable prompt and working successfully with Generative AI. Nicole takes a light, enjoyable approach to explaining things, so learning from her is truly enjoyable. But it’s the foundational knowledge she provides that has continued to buoy my confidence whenever I use ChatGPT. I don’t use it every day, but the insights she provided into how a LLM works, and why, help guide me through my queries and help me build my actions with a lot less stress and second-guessing. Whether I pursue other paths in marketing or build a company of my own, Generative AI is now first and foremost on my list of tools to utilize. if you are wondering about or even a little bit fearful of AI, take this course. Nicole’s easily digestible segments will have you feeling 'AI confident' in no time!"
