FAQ

Frequently Asked

Do I need a technical background?

No coding background needed. You should be in an active finance role and fluent in Excel (formulas, pivots, basic modelling). Instructors guide you through every AI workflow.

What tools will I use?

Claude or ChatGPT, Excel, Python with Pandas, and sample financial datasets. Bring a laptop. AI accounts will be set up as part of Day 1.

What do I leave with?

A working forecast and reporting automation tied to your own company data, an AI-augmented variance analysis with a board-ready commentary template, and a document-analysis workflow over your own contracts, statements, or filings.

Where is the workshop held?

In person at CODED Academy in Kuwait. Daily sessions run 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM with breaks.

Can we customize the workshop for our industry?

Yes. For private cohorts, we tailor the briefs, scenarios, and examples to your industry — retail, banking, real estate, F&B, government, or any other sector. The tools and methodology stay the same; the content and use cases adapt to your business.

What happens after the workshop?

Every participant leaves with the artefacts, templates, and workflows they built during the workshop. These are designed to be self-sustaining with no ongoing dependency on CODED. For teams that want continued support, we offer follow-up sessions and advanced modules.

Can we run this privately for our team?

Yes. We offer private cohorts for companies with 8 or more participants. Contact [email protected] for scheduling and group pricing.

How is this different from a generic AI workshop?

This is not an overview of AI tools. Participants do not watch demos and leave with notes — they build real, working artefacts using their own data and their own briefs. Every output is reusable and tailored to their company.
