FAQs

Who is this course for?
This course can be a great choice for:
  • Current and aspiring business professionals looking to build strategic AI skills and increase their career opportunities
  • Graduates of the Diploma of Artificial Intelligence who want to further their AI skills
  • Supervisors, managers and leaders who oversee AI use in their teams or organisations
  • Small business owners who want to better implement AI governance and responsible AI practices
How is the Diploma of AI different to the Advanced Diploma of AI?
The Diploma of AI and Advanced Diploma of AI both build skills in using readily accessible AI tools. While both are designed for current and aspiring business professionals, there’s a few differences between them. The Diploma of AI builds skills in using a range of AI tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude) to make you more productive and effective at work. It will build your understanding of prompt engineering, generative AI tools and how different types of AI technologies work. It’s great for people looking to build a solid foundation of AI literacy and better use AI-based tools to make themselves more productive at work. On the other hand, the Advanced Diploma of AI builds on this foundation to teach you more advanced skills. In the Advanced Diploma, you’ll learn how to apply AI for strategic decision-making, data analysis, managing projects and creating custom assistants. You’ll also be empowered to create AI governance and data strategies, and lead AI-driven business transformation. The Advanced Diploma of AI can be a great fit if you’re a graduate of Diploma of AI or you’re already quite familiar with how AI works. If you’re looking to boost your AI literacy and build your skills in using a wide range of AI tools, you may wish to consider studying a double diploma. Apply to study the Diploma of Artificial Intelligence for 1 year and the Advanced Diploma of Artificial Intelligence the following year. You can apply to enrol in both courses when completing your online application form.
Can I apply this course to my own workplace?
Yes! If you’re currently working in a business role, or have your own start-up or small business, you’ll have the option of applying your practical assessments to your workplace. You’ll also have the flexibility to choose to use provided case studies for each assessment instead.
How long does it take to complete the course?
The Advanced Diploma of Artificial Intelligence has designed to be completed within one year. If you study in-person at ABCI’s Sydney CBD campus, you’ll complete this course over a series of 4 terms. Each term consists of 9 weeks. View ACBI’s academic calendar to see more information on term dates. If you are a domestic student (an Australian/New Zealand citizen, or Australian permanent resident), you may choose to study this course in a 100% online, flexible format. You’ll receive a suggested study plan that guides you through completing the course in 1 year (50 weeks). However, if your circumstances allow, you can finish each unit more quickly. For example, it is not uncommon for our domestic students to complete their qualifications in 9 months or less.
