Questions, answered

Everything you need to know before you start.

Still unsure? Contact IQ Training™ and the team can help you choose the right training route.

Do I need any technical skills?

No. If you can send an email, you can do everything in this course. Each lesson shows you exactly what to type and where to click.

Do I have to pay for any AI tools?

No. Everything in the course works on the free plans of ChatGPT and Canva. Paid plans give you more usage, but you do not need them to get started.

I use a different AI tool. Will this still work?

Yes. The prompts work in Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Claude too, as well as ChatGPT.

The example is a bakery. Will it work for my business?

Yes. Rosie's Bakery is just the example. Every technique works for any small business, from salons and cafés to trades, shops and services.

Will I receive a certificate?

Yes. Learners receive an instant digital certificate after completing all of the lessons and passing the short final quiz.

Is it relevant to UK businesses?

Yes. It uses UK spelling and examples, covers UK GDPR basics and email marketing rules, and includes a UK seasonal marketing calendar.

How long does the course take?

The 20 video lessons add up to about an hour, and most are under four minutes. Each one ends with a short task, and you can stop and pick up where you left off at any time.
