Welcome to
BrainStation Toronto
at The Well
Learn in the Center of Toronto's Tech Hub
Located in the heart of Toronto's Tech Alley, BrainStation is at the center of Toronto's tech scene, surrounded by the best tech companies in Toronto. In addition to courses, BrainStation Toronto offers training sessions, industry events, expert panel discussions, and more.
This course builds practical, applied AI skills you can use immediately in your work. You will move from foundations to hands-on application across three areas:
Foundations & Prompt EngineeringUnderstand how generative AI, large language models, and neural networks work, and learn structured prompt engineering to get reliable, high-quality results.
Advanced Prompt EngineeringApply prompt chaining and multi-step techniques to build repeatable, higher-quality AI workflows.
AI Workflows & AgentsDesign automated workflows and AI agents that handle multi-step tasks, and leave with a clear plan for applying AI in your role.
Not at all. You do not need any coding, engineering, or data science experience. This course is about learning to apply AI tools effectively, not building AI models from scratch. You will learn how to use generative AI to strengthen your thinking, writing, and problem-solving, regardless of your technical background.
You will get hands-on experience with leading generative AI tools, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot, and learn to build automated workflows and AI agents using platforms such as Make and OpenAI. You will also apply AI-assisted creative tools like Canva to real tasks.
It's ideal for both. The course is beginner-friendly and requires no prior experience, so it's open to anyone looking to add AI to their professional toolkit. For those new to AI, it teaches the foundations and practical skills the modern workforce expects. For experienced professionals, it's an effective way to formalize and expand your AI skills and stay competitive in an AI-driven workplace.
Classes are taught live by experienced practitioners from top tech companies (like Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft). They actively use AI in their daily work to solve real problems and build with these tools, so you get practical, real-world insights from people applying AI on the front lines.
The course is a part-time, 5-week program designed for working professionals. It requires 3 hours of live instruction per week, which you will attend in person at one of our locations in either New York, Toronto, or London, or entirely live online. The schedule is built to be flexible around a busy professional schedule, with hands-on training, case studies, and projects.
Absolutely. Because this course directly focuses on building practical, in-demand AI skills, it qualifies for most corporate Learning & Development budgets. We provide an Employer Sponsorship Package complete with a syllabus breakdown and an expense justification letter to help you pitch the ROI of this course to your manager.
When you enroll, you join a global network of over 40,000 BrainStation certified professionals. At our New York, Toronto, and London locations, you'll have access to networking mixers, industry panel events, and collaborative workspaces, and all learners gain access to our community Slack, where you can connect with peers and instructors and stay in touch after the course ends.
The AIC™ is a globally recognized credential. BrainStation has been a leader in AI and digital skills training since 2012 and has certified over 40,000 professionals globally. Adding this certification to your resume and LinkedIn signals to recruiters that you possess modern, validated AI skills.
Don't worry: flexibility is built into the program. If you need to miss a session, our team will help make sure you're able to catch up with your cohort. Sessions are live, interactive, and hands-on, so it's important to make class attendance a priority.
We want to make upskilling accessible. We offer flexible payment options, including payment plans and partial scholarship opportunities, subject to eligibility. A Learning Advisor can help find the option that works best for you.
