On campus in Geneva, Paris, Milan or Madrid, you learn to build AI agents, to apply generative AI to your own work and to lead its adoption in your team, on a real project from your own job, with the faculty alongside you. At the end of the program, you receive a certificate of completion.
Choose your campus
One campus to chooseMost AI programs send you home with a roadmap. You go home with it built.
You don’t buy a drill to make holes, but to build something. The same goes for AI: what matters is what you will do with these skills, and the impact this program can have on you, your team and your performance.
- 01
Automate your day and save time.
You learn to code with AI agents and build tools that do real work for you, not just use chat assistants. Your repetitive tasks run without you.
- 02
Lead with AI.
Be the person in the room who gets listened to. You understand what AI can and cannot do, and you apply it to your own project every month, each session starting from what you shipped the month before.
- 03
Understand this revolution and be the best at it.
Stay current in a field that moves too fast to follow alone, without stepping away from your job. Every date is fixed from day one.
- 04
Make AI help your job, not take it.
You build automations that save time in your day-to-day work and show the impact they deliver. You leave with a certificate of completion at the end of the Executive Program in Applied AI.

Hear from our founding cohort about what they built.
“I’ve spent 20 years in investment management: the limiting factor is never ideas but the time it takes to run the analyses and get to answers. Useful signals can be buried in pages of lengthy reports that nobody has time to read, or in millions of data points that are time-consuming to extract. And then memos and presentations need to be created.
The AI course and the hands-on teachers at Albert School gave me the technical baggage to automate my workflow and leverage AI, from the executive assistant role to the senior analyst. Investment recommendations that took days now take an afternoon, with an arguably better quality of output.
I’m a better investor because I decide faster, on more evidence, while owning my AI workflow. Albert School has given me the confidence to go deeper and build my own tools, without reliance on a single model vendor.”
“The program is exactly what I needed! As an executive with 20+ years of experience, I wanted to reskill for the AI era, and it delivered.
I got hands-on with the AI tools that are changing how we work, and learned techniques straight from the best in data, machine learning and AI. Best of all, it challenged me to roll up my sleeves, and I ended up building my own tools for my day-to-day. Real substance, not theory.
This Executive Program in Applied AI is what I needed to stay competitive for the next twenty years, not just the next two. A rare chance to step back from the day-to-day and separate signal from noise in all the AI hype.
Highly recommended for any executive who wants to have an edge and stay ahead.”
How the AI program works
Six sessions of 2.5 days over six months (124 hours on campus). A selected cohort of participants from a broad range of industries.
One technical theme per session. Four threads across all six.
Each session is built around one technical theme. Alongside it, four threads run through the whole program, so you leave able to build with AI and to lead its use.
Risk management & regulation
Data protection, AI regulation and risk, model risk and bias, security and data residency.
Governance & leadership
Your team's AI rules, human in the loop, model governance, build versus buy.
Change management
Why AI adoption stalls, building a data culture, leading the rollout.
Learning to learn & judgment
Your learning loop, evaluating AI output, deciding under uncertainty, reading a vendor pitch, staying ahead.
Learn, apply, judge. Every month.
Learn and build.
Two taught sessions on the technical theme, then two hands-on builds.
Apply it to your own project.
Project work and a peer clinic, a guest speaker over lunch, then two thread sessions.
Step back and judge.
A judgment lab, then a project clinic on your own work.
Every session ends with work to apply before the next, so each one starts from what you shipped the month before.
A guest speaker joins every Friday, and stays for lunch.
