How to Prove You’re AI-Ready in 4 Weeks — Without Being Technical

The 4-week journey to becoming AI-ready through CFTE’s Executive AI Certificate in financial services

You don’t need to code to become AI-ready. You just need a structured way to prove it.

While many professionals are experimenting with AI tools, few can show how it improves their thinking, work, or value. The real advantage today isn’t using AI — it’s being able to demonstrate that you can apply it responsibly in your specific role.

That’s where the Executive AI Certificate comes in.

The Problem: Everyone's Using AI, But Few Can Prove It

AI has become part of daily work, from prompting chatbots to rewriting emails, summarising meetings, and drafting documents.

But here’s the problem:

  • Most professionals rely on experimentation, not frameworks
  • Most outputs are invisible or unstructured
  • Most employers can’t tell who’s AI-literate, and who just plays with tools

In high-trust sectors like finance, credibility is everything.

“It’s not about knowing what AI can do. It’s about proving you know how to use it — and when not to.”

A Structured Journey: From Diagnostic to Certification

This programme isn’t just about learning. It’s a complete transformation experience — designed to take you from uncertain to credible in 4 weeks.

Here’s how it works:

Week 0 – AIQ Diagnostic

Start by benchmarking your current AI fluency with the AIQ — a tool developed with banks and regulators

Week 1 – Foundations

Understand what AI is, how it works, and how it applies to financial roles in risk, strategy, operations, or client advisory

Week 2 – Prompting & Productivity

Learn how to prompt AI effectively, use it in workflows, and document your results

Week 3 – Responsible Use

Explore ethics, hallucinations, bias, and risk frameworks using practical case studies (like generating and analysing a deepfake)

Week 4 – Your AI Life Stack

Build your personal AI workflow, create your portfolio, and earn your certificate

What You Walk Away With

This certification doesn’t give you just a badge — it gives you professional evidence of capability:

  • A shareable Executive AI Certificate
  • Your personalised AIQ Score
  • A portfolio of AI-enhanced outputs (Notion site, playbook, case studies)
  • Career confidence to speak about AI in interviews, reviews, and strategic meetings

Designed for Financial Professionals — Not Developers

You don’t need to know Python. You don’t need to build models.

You just need the ability to evaluate, use, and communicate AI clearly in your context.

That’s what this certification delivers — and why it’s trusted by professionals at banks, fintechs, insurers, and regulators.

In a world where everyone’s talking about AI, the real advantage is being the one who can prove it.
