Training a team larger
than a cohort?

If your team exceeds a cohort cap (9 for cohorts, 12 for individual sessions), the offering is a private team session scheduled separately. Your team gets a dedicated slot at a mutually agreed time, covering the same content as the public track — without competing for seats or sharing the session with others.

Contact Z to scope pricing and availability. Private sessions are priced per engagement, not per seat.

Interested? Send us your details and Z will follow up.

Everything you need to
know before you register

What time zone are classes in?
All classes are live virtual and taught in Pacific Time. Individual sessions are at 12pm Pacific. Cohort sessions meet at 9am Pacific.
How big are classes?
Individual class sessions are capped at 12 registrants. Cohort sessions are capped at 9 registrants to keep the experience collaborative and hands-on.
What happens if a cohort doesn't fill?
Cohorts need at least 5 enrolled registrants to run. If fewer than 5 are signed up 5 days before the cohort start date, Z will contact registrants to offer either a spot in the next cohort or individual classes at the cohort discount rate.
Are classes recorded?
Yes. Classes are recorded and the recording is provided only to those who registered for that session. If you cannot attend live, you still receive the recording after the session.
What is the refund policy?
Full refund available up to 72 hours before the scheduled start time. No refunds are issued inside the 72-hour window. This policy protects the waitlist — a refunded seat can be offered to someone on the waitlist with enough time to prepare.
Can I mix Beginner and Intermediate classes?
Yes. The checkout process lets you select classes across both tiers in a single transaction. Mix and match based on your team's skill levels and needs.
Do I need to take the Beginner classes before Intermediate?
There is no strict prerequisite, but Intermediate classes assume you are already using AI tools day-to-day. If you are new to AI, starting with the Beginner track is recommended.
