Questions people ask before they start
Is this course for total beginners to ChatGPT?
Yes. It starts with 'What ChatGPT Is (and Isn't)' and 'Core Capabilities,' which are designed to build a correct mental model before you touch anything advanced.
Will this teach me advanced prompt engineering or automation?
No. The curriculum covers foundational prompting practices in 'Prompting ChatGPT Well,' not advanced techniques, chaining, or automation workflows — this is an introductory field guide.
Why does a cybersecurity company teach a ChatGPT course?
Securafy built this because most ChatGPT guides skip privacy. The 'Security & Privacy with ChatGPT' module specifically covers how privacy defaults work by tier so you understand what happens to your data.
Is there any hands-on practice, or is it all theory?
There's one hands-on lesson, 'Hands-On: Your First Real Task,' where you apply what you've learned to complete an actual task with ChatGPT.
Does this course cover other AI tools besides ChatGPT?
No, the curriculum is entirely focused on ChatGPT — its capabilities, prompting, and its specific privacy/security defaults.
How is the course structured?
Two modules: 'Understanding ChatGPT' (what it is and what it can do) followed by 'Using ChatGPT Well' (prompting, privacy, and a hands-on task).
