Artificial intelligence training for adults in Tallinn, taught in Russian

What participants can do by the end

The programme belongs to the ‘Arvutikasutus’ (computer use) group. It has a single theme: handing work processes over to AI assistants - framing the task, building a stable working context, protecting personal data, assessing the output and drawing up an implementation plan.

A participant who completes the training:

• frames a work task for an AI assistant, with context, materials and criteria for the result;
• describes their own work process and decides which steps to hand over to AI;
• creates a stable working context and written instructions for recurring tasks;
• applies personal data protection requirements and sets out rules of use for their department;
• assesses AI output against acceptance criteria and brings it up to a usable standard;
• draws up an implementation plan for AI in their department, with metrics, a clear division of responsibilities and the economic impact.

Who it is for and what you need to start

The programme is designed for adult professionals and managers whose daily work involves information, documents, clients and work processes. No technical background is required.

The entry requirement is the ability to use a computer and a smartphone in everyday life. No prior experience with AI or programming is needed.

The programme is suitable for:

• social sector organisations;
• non-profits and foundations;
• local government bodies;
• small and medium-sized enterprises.

How the sessions work

The programme totals 80 academic hours: 64 contact hours (48 of them practical) and 16 hours of independent work. There are four modules and 16 sessions of 4 academic hours each, spread over 8-16 weeks.

The training is built around each participant's own work tasks: at least 70% of contact hours are practical work. Each module is followed by independent work, and feedback on it is given at the next session. Groups have 6-14 people, and sessions take place in a training room or online.

The training can also be booked for the staff of a single organisation - on the client's premises or online. In that case, examples and exercises are tailored to the client's field of activity.

Assessment and the document you receive

To complete the programme, participants need to attend at least 70% of contact hours and pass three forms of assessment: a practical assignment, a portfolio and the defence of an implementation plan. Assessment is non-graded - pass or fail.

Participants who achieve all the learning outcomes receive a tunnistus (certificate); in all other cases, a tõend (statement) is issued. Modules can be taken separately: for completed modules, a tõend is issued listing them and their volume.

Who teaches: a person who tried it all on himself first

Andrii Ruban did not come to AI from programming. His world is several ventures at once: his own travel company, a training centre and an IT company, plus client projects ranging from the construction industry to the social sector. And everywhere it is the same: requests, receipts, bank statements, correspondence with clients. The kind of work someone does by hand every day and that never ends.

In 2024 he began handing it over to AI assistants. Small things at first: transcribing a conversation, preparing a post. Then in earnest. Today the tools he puts together are at work in his travel company, the training centre and the IT company, as well as with clients and partners - from the construction industry to the social sector and business. They include Telegram bots for tracking expenses and approvals, a system of AI agents that plans travel itineraries, automated social media posting and a bank statement reconciliation engine for accounting.

There is more than technology behind this. The systems grew out of years of Andrii's work on himself: on his skills, his values and the architecture of his own personality. Order appeared on the inside first, then in the processes around him. This path, walked in practice, is what he introduces others to: the key steps to improve yourself, your life and the processes that surround it.

But the main thing he took from this path is not a set of bots. He saw where people stumble: the task is set vaguely, the context has to be explained again every single time, and the result is accepted without being checked. These exact points became the foundation of the programme - which is why it includes so much practice on participants' own tasks.

Building systems and teaching adults are different skills, and Andrii has built up the second one too. In 2026 alone, he has delivered 84 academic hours to live groups: a ten-week emotional intelligence course in Tallinn, five open masterclasses and six on-site ones at entrepreneurs' clubs in Riga, Tallinn, Helsinki and Vilnius. More about his qualifications is on the trainers page.

Emotional intelligence is no accident in this story. It is the school's second area of training - for adults, managers and teams - and in practice it answers a question that technology cannot: how to make sure people actually start using a new tool.
