Practical AI skills for everyday work

Typical brief

“Show our team how AI chatbots can draft e-mails, slides and training material in a fraction of the time—without losing accuracy or creativity.”

Delivery

• Kratis: 3 sessions × 3 h (face-to-face)
• Vavlitis: one full-day session, 7 h (face-to-face)
• ONEK: one full-day session, 7 h (face-to-face)

Key activities

• Shifting from keyword searches to conversational prompts
• Building prompt templates for consistent, high-quality output
• Drafting training material, slide decks and addressing long-term challenges with generative AI

Outcomes reported

• First-draft slide deck produced in minutes, not hours
• Thirty-minute e-mail cut to five minutes
• Staff confidence to use AI without sacrificing creativity
• Staff learn to use AI chatbots as collaborators and co-creators

Participant feedback

“The seminar exceeded every expectation. I now integrate AI across the whole training-development cycle and save valuable time.” — Vassos Lappa, Senior Consultant, Kratis

“Answering an e-mail used to take thirty minutes. With George’s techniques the chatbot now gives me structure, examples and notes in just five.” — Antonia Michael, Accounts Dept., Vavlitis

“In just a few hours George changed my view of AI and showed me how to use it without losing my creativity.” — Glikeria Kalamata, Youth Officer, ONEK

After the course

Kratis now applies prompting frameworks in daily course development, while Vavlitis and ONEK staff use conversational AI techniques for routine correspondence, presentations and research.

Audience

Teachers and trainers from primary, secondary and higher education.

Format

Live online • 21 hours over three weeks • Cohort size ≈ 2 × 10.

Learning goals

• Understand how generative AI works
• Create teaching material with chat-based tools
• Critically assess AI-generated outputs
• Discuss assessment and policy implications

Result

Teachers prepare lesson plans in 15–20 minutes instead of several hours.

Participant feedback

“I needed a lot of time to prepare lesson plans and fresh ideas. With George’s methods the chatbot now does it all—plans, examples, notes—in under twenty minutes.” — Pantelitsa Anastasiou, Secondary Teacher, Ministry of Education

Next steps

More cohorts are planned in the next few months.

Audience

Professionals who want a practical introduction to AI tools they can use in everyday work.

Format

Online workshop • 20 hours over 7 afternoons • Hosted by partner training centres.

Tools covered

ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, Mistral Le Chat, Local LLMs, Gamma app, Napkin AI and others.

Exercises

Create project plans, write/refine prompts, design visuals and presentations, summarise documents.

Participant feedback

“I only knew ChatGPT and couldn’t make it work for me. During the session I discovered other chatbots and improved my prompts. Now I can quickly produce course descriptions, syllabi and learning outcomes.” — Rodoula Rousou, Vocational Educator

Audience

Higher Education students espacially in Computer Science majors

Format

CCNA Introduction to Networks • Face-2-Face & Instructor led • 40 hours over one academic semester • Implemented by Universities

Concept

The Computer Networks class of the Computer Science program has been aligned with Cisco Netacad's CCNA Introduction to Networks. While students complete their class, they also pass their Cisco exam.

Benefits

Students get ECTS credits towards their degrees while at the same time they receive their Cisco Networking Academy Certificate, giving them an extra qualification for the job market.
