Getting started with the AI Academy

The Ten Past Tomorrow AI Academy is designed to help professionals build real capability with AI.

It takes you from the AI essentials through to advanced applications, without wasting time on hype or theory that never translates into your daily work (you can get plenty of they hype elsewhere!).

We start with a foundation course, Generative AI Essentials, then branch into the tools that matter most: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Copilot365 and NotebookLM.

From there, you’ll explore applied skills such as creating AI images, tailoring your AI to sound like you, and building automations that take hours of work down to minutes.

The Academy offers deeper modules on advanced prompting strategies, reasoning models, AI ethics, and responsible AI use. We also cover advanced applications like deep research and the critical topics of privacy, governance, and staying safe with data.

Importantly, the Academy is both platform-agnostic and industry-agnostic.

Being platform agnostic means it is not aligned with any of the tech providers. We cover any and all of the best tools and platforms available, from a non-biased perspective.

And being industry agnostic means the AI Academy is valuable for SMEs, not-for-profits, and even universities, showing its versatility across different sectors.


A LIVING RESOURCE, NOT A ONE-OFF

 

The Academy isn’t something you "finish" and move on from. It’s a constantly growing repository of courses and lessons that evolves as AI does.

New content is added regularly to cover emerging tools, platforms, and best practices.

This means your people aren’t just "doing AI once" and then being left behind as AI moves on.

By staying in the Academy they’re continuously developing as AI itself moves forward at the breakneck paces it does.

And because the Academy delivers industry agnostic teaching, you can be confident it will deliver value whether you’re in business, education, or the not-for-profit space.

simple & Fair SUBSCRIPTION pricing

 

AI Academy Pricing

The Academy runs on a simple subscription model designed to be fair, flexible, and easy for organisations to manage.

  • Cost: $19 NZD per user per month.

  • Pay only if they learn: A user is only charged if they log in and complete at least one lesson in that month. We do this to be fair. The Academy is a learning environment that people stay in, on an ongoing basis. Quite simply, this is the only way to stay up to date with AI. What you learn now, may be obsolete in 6 months as the tech advances. But we don't want to hold you to ransom. By charging organisations only for their people who have used the Academy each month, we have found a fair and equitable system which we are proud of.  

  • Consolidated billing: At the end of each month your company receives a single invoice covering only the employees who actively used the Academy.

Every company has one administrator account. That person controls enrolments by sending out invites to their people. When an employee tries to create an account, the administrator approves it before access is granted. This keeps everything clean, centralised, and under your control.

 


why the academy matters


Why the AI Academy matters

Every role in your organisation is touched by AI.

Boards need to understand governance implications, executives need to drive measurable transformation, and knowledge workers want radical efficiency and productivity gains that help them stand out.

The Ten Past Tomorrow AI Academy brings all of these needs together in one place.

What makes it different is that it’s designed for the New Zealand context.

The risks and the opportunities we talk about are relevant for organisations here, not borrowed from overseas.

proof & results


To validate and refine the Academy, we ran a month-long Alpha Testing Programme with 94 professionals from New Zealand firms across industries. The results were clear: participants reported major gains in productivity, capability, and confidence.

  • 9.1/10 average likelihood to recommend the Academy to a colleague.

  • Professionals moved from simply saving time to redesigning workflows and even building their own CustomGPTs. 

  • Reported outcomes included accelerating high-value tasks and learning skills to do entirely new tasks in their roles: "Without the AI skills I learned, I physically wouldn't have been able to do the task myself... This wasn't about saving time; it was about creating new capabilities."

  • As one participant put it: "This has genuinely opened my eyes to the power of AI. It's not just a tool; it's a new way of working. The structure of the Academy made it accessible and immediately applicable."

This case study showed the Academy works for SMEs, corporates, not-for-profits, and universities alike, delivering measurable results across sectors.

 


it all starts at the top

 

Please note: To be eligible for the AI Academy, your organisation’s senior leadership team must first complete our Rapid AI Traction for Senior Leadership Teams course.

We’ve learned through years of experience that starting your AI journey by training your operational teams first doesn’t work. If employees are given powerful new AI skills and the superpowers to redesign their own roles, but leadership isn’t equipped to understand, guide, and champion that change, AI adoption slows and inevitably stalls.

Conversely, when senior leadership is AI-literate, the opposite happens. Leaders see the opportunities, manage the risks, and actively encourage the rewiring of operations and culture. This creates the conditions where operational teams can apply their new AI skills and literacy with confidence, knowing their efforts are supported and celebrated from the top.

That’s why we begin at the senior level, with our Rapid AI Traction for Senior Leadership Teams course. Only when leaders have the literacy and skills to manage both the strategic and cultural shifts does the Academy become truly effective for the wider organisation.
