Who it’s for

For busy professionals. No technical background needed.

CAAIBE is for people who want AI to save them real time at work. Module 1 starts with setting up two free accounts, and every step after that is numbered, so you always know what to do next.

A small business owner packing an order beside her laptop

You run a business

You want AI to take on the writing, research and reporting that fills your week, without putting customer data at risk.

A professional on a sales call, laughing

You work in marketing, sales or operations

You’ve tried ChatGPT and want answers you can use the first time, plus reports and automations that run every week.

A team lead talking a colleague through a chart

You lead a team

You need workflows your team can repeat, an AI use policy people will follow, and a measure of the time it saves.

What you need: a laptop, an email address for two free accounts, and about 4 hours a week for 11 weeks. Excel helps for module 8; Copilot in Excel is optional.

How each module works

Step by step, in your own work.

Every module gives you the same four things, so the routine is familiar by week 2 and the time goes into using AI, not working out the course.

Numbered walkthroughs
44 walkthroughs across the 11 modules, with 265 guided steps between them. You do each one in your own work, not on made-up examples.
A quick reference card
Every module has one: the steps and settings that matter, on one card you keep beside you.
A prompt library
Prompts for each module that you adapt, test and add to your own library as you go.
The IDNZ Learn portal
The reading material and activities for each module, open whenever suits you.

With your mentor

More than a course. AI business transformation.

You work with your mentor on your existing business or role from the first session, so you can put AI to work and start saving time in less than a day. With the right mentoring and business coaching, AI saves you time and money long after the 11 weeks.

Find where AI saves you time

With your mentor you map the tasks that drain your week, then pick the ones AI can take on first, in your own business or role.

Move your work to where AI helps

Your recurring work, sorted with your mentor into what AI can take on, what it helps with and what stays yours.

The course in numbers

Small steps, and ideas that stick.

CAAIBE is built from short, numbered steps you do in your own work. Running through them are 20 key ideas that explain why each step matters. Here are seven of them.

hours of study, about 4 a week

AI is a prediction engine, not a database.

It predicts likely words, so it can sound certain and still be wrong. You learn to check facts at the source.

Module 2

What you paste in is data collection.

Anything you paste may be kept. You redact first and set both accounts so your chats stay private.

Module 2

Context is a budget, not a bin.

Give it what the task needs, not everything you have. Long, crowded chats lose the thread.

Modules 3 and 4

Instructions are a job description.

Brief it the way you’d brief a new colleague, and the first answer is usually usable.

Module 3

Excel does the maths. AI does the words.

Formulas and pivot tables do the numbers; AI writes the formula and the summary, and you test both.

Module 8

Autonomy is a dial, not a switch.

You decide how much an automation or agent does on its own, with a human checkpoint where it matters.

Module 9

Modules 9 to 11

The AI acts. You are accountable.

Whatever AI drafts or does, your name is on it. That’s why every workflow in your playbook has a check, and why you finish with an AI use policy.

Tools you use

Free accounts and the tools you have. Used safely.

You start on free ChatGPT and Claude accounts and the Excel you already have. Later modules add deep research, automation tools with AI steps and AI agents. Pick a tool to see what you do with it, then roll over the picture to see how you keep it safe.

What is the CAAIBE AI for Business course?

The Certified Agile AI Business Expert (CAAIBE) is IDNZ’s 11-week AI for business course. It teaches working professionals to use ChatGPT and Claude in their everyday work, step by step, from their first useful chat to their own AI playbook of five workflows, which they present at the end. It’s an IDNZ industry certification.

Do I need a technical background to learn AI for business?

No. Module 1 starts with setting up two free accounts and a tour of the screen. Every walkthrough has numbered steps, and you do each one in your own work, so you always know what to do next.

Which AI tools does CAAIBE cover?

ChatGPT and Claude on free accounts, Excel (including Copilot in Excel for those who have it), deep research tools, automation tools with AI steps, and AI agents.

Do I need to pay for ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot?

No. The course uses free ChatGPT and Claude accounts. Copilot in Excel is covered for people whose workplace already has it, and the course works without it.

How many hours a week does CAAIBE take?

About 4 hours a week, around 45 hours over the 11 weeks: reading and activities in the Learn portal, the walkthroughs in your own work, and at least one live session with your mentor.

How does mentoring work on CAAIBE?

You have at least one live session with your mentor every week, and you can book extra sessions as often as you like during the 11 weeks. Some activities, such as design thinking, a workload kanban and qualitative and quantitative research, run live on a shared online board with your mentor and group.

Where is the course material?

In the IDNZ Learn portal: the reading material and activities for each module. Each module also has walkthroughs with numbered guided steps, a quick reference card and a library of prompts.

What will I have by the end of the course?

A personal library of prompts, a reusable AI assistant built for a task you do every week, a brand voice card, an automated weekly report, a working automation with a human checkpoint, a one-page decision brief, an AI use policy, a measure of the time you’ve saved, and a final AI playbook of your five best workflows, which you present.

How do I finish the course?

In module 11 you write a short AI use policy, measure the time you’ve saved, and build your five best workflows into a playbook that you present.

Is my data safe if I use AI at work?

Module 2 covers it before you paste anything real: stopping your chats being used for training, checking memory and using temporary chats, and redacting before you paste. You also catch a hallucination on purpose, so you know how to check what comes back. In module 11 you write an AI use policy.

Will I learn to build automations and use AI agents?

Yes, in module 9. You map a real workflow first, build it as an automation with an AI step and a human checkpoint, set up the AI step with structured outputs, and use an agent safely for a multi-step task. You don’t need to know how to code.

Does the course cover Excel?

Yes, in module 8. AI writes formulas that you test, you build a pivot table and chart, and you set up a weekly report you can run in about 20 minutes, with checks that keep it safe. Copilot in Excel is covered for those who have it.

What’s the difference between CAAIBE and a one-day AI workshop?

IDNZ’s one-day workshops cover one topic in 4 to 6 hours with a mentor, for $489.99 + GST, and every one includes AI for its topic. CAAIBE is 11 weeks of AI across your whole job, with a live mentor session every week and your own playbook at the end.

Is CAAIBE endorsed by OpenAI, Anthropic or Microsoft?

No. IDNZ is independent and isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI, Anthropic or Microsoft. The course teaches you to use their tools well and safely.

Is CAAIBE NZQA-accredited?

No. CAAIBE is an industry certification from IDNZ, not an NZQA qualification. It’s built for working professionals who want practical skills they can use at work straight away.

When are the CAAIBE intakes?

Intakes start on the first Monday of January, March, May, July, September and November, and enrolments close the Wednesday before. The next intakes are Monday 4 January, Monday 1 March and Monday 3 May 2027.

Before you buy

Questions about enrolling.

Can CAAIBE be invoiced to my employer or paid with a purchase order?

Yes. Email godigital@id.ac.nz with your name, your employer’s name and billing contact, the intake you want and any purchase order number, and we’ll send the invoice. No interest-free instalments are offered.

Can I enrol several people from my team in CAAIBE?

Yes. Team enrolments are invoiced: email godigital@id.ac.nz with the names of the people taking part and the intake, or book a consultation if you’d like the course shaped around your team’s own work.

What happens after I pay for CAAIBE?

An email confirms your place and your start date. Before module 1 you get your IDNZ Learn portal login and the details for booking your mentor. Module 1 opens on the intake’s start date and begins with setting up two free AI accounts.

What do I need ready before CAAIBE module 1?

A laptop, a reliable internet connection, an email address for your free ChatGPT and Claude accounts, and about 4 hours a week in your calendar for the 11 weeks. Excel is used in module 8; Copilot in Excel is optional.

Which intake should I choose for CAAIBE?

The one where you can give the course about 4 hours a week for 11 weeks in a row. If you’re not sure, book a consultation and we’ll help you pick.
