FAQ
Questions people ask before starting
Do I need any technical background?+
No. CIAI is built for people who don't code. We start in plain language and assume nothing — the free AI-Literate track exists precisely so you can begin from zero.
Is the first track really free?+
Yes. AI-Literate is free and needs no card. It's a genuine foundation, not a locked demo. You move up to AI-Fluent or AI-Native only when you're ready.
How much do courses cost?+
There's no subscription. Courses are priced individually — some are free, others are paid — and each paid course is priced by its value and length. You'll always see a course's exact price before you enroll.
Will learning this actually keep me employable?+
We can't promise any specific job or outcome — no honest school can. What we can say is that employers increasingly value people who work fluently with AI, and our courses teach those skills directly.
How is CIAI different from free videos online?+
Structure, role-specific practice, and feedback. You build real work samples for your field, follow a clear path, and always know your next step — instead of piecing together scattered clips.
Do you teach a specific AI tool or product?+
We teach durable skills and workflows that transfer across the tools your workplace uses, so what you learn doesn't expire when a single product changes.
What is the AI-Native track?+
It's the premium track for people who want to build their own AI-powered online business — from a first working offer to finding early customers.
Who is behind the Institute?+
CIAI is an affiliate of MindHYVE.ai. Our curriculum and platform are built with its engineering and applied-AI teams.
Can my employer or team enroll?+
Team enrollment is on our roadmap. Use the contact form and we'll follow up as group options open.
