Testimonials

Huge thanks to IEC for offering this course! As someone new to AI, it was exciting to try tools like Leonardo AI – creating images and videos was way more fun and easier than I expected.

Good mix of theory and practice with homework and tests after lessons.

This course was very interesting and easy to follow. I liked that it focused on practical AI tools that can be used for creating images, videos, and other digital content. The lessons were clear and helped me understand how AI can be applied in real projects, especially for marketing and social media. It was a great introduction to creative AI, and I feel more confident using new technologies after completing the course.

After completing the course, I created my own AI-based project for the final assignment. It was a great way to combine creativity and technology and actually apply everything I learned.

Very useful and practical course. I learned how to use AI tools for study and work.

I had been looking for a long time to take an AI course, as AI is becoming very important nowadays, and this Applied AI course was a great choice. The lessons are clear, practical, and easy to follow, even without a technical background.

I liked that the course is fully online and accessible anytime. The platform is user-friendly, and it’s great that certificates are provided after each part. This makes it easy to learn at your own pace.

Thanks to IEC for providing each participant with the opportunity to take the Applied AI course for free. It’s a educational public-spirited initiative. I really enjoyed it! As someone just getting into this stuff, it was super cool to try out tools like Leonardo AI and Krea AI for making images—they’re way more powerful than I expected and pretty easy to use. The video tools like Sora, Runway, Kling, Lumalabs, and Pika were also really impressive. It’s unbelievable how you can create full-on videos or animations with just a few clicks. And here are some tips: When you are using these AI tools, you need to be careful to write the prompts as complete and detailed as possible, just as detailed as when describing something to a blind man that he has never seen before, for the AI to accurately generate what you have in mind. If you are generating a detailed image, it is better to describe it clearly at once, if you communicate with the AI by constantly adding explanations, it will cause the AI to forget the previous requirements, that is to say, his memory may not be good!

Volunteering in Cape Town was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. From working with children to exploring breathtaking landscapes, every moment was special. The culture here is rich, the people are warm, and even the language barrier couldn’t stop the connections I made. If you want a truly immersive experience, this is the program for you. And remember: in Africa, there’s no such thing as being “on time”—embrace the flow and enjoy the ride!
