Who this is for
"I know I should be using AI, but I don't know where to start."
If that sentence sounds familiar, you're in the right terminal. This course was built for capable adults — people with full lives, real problems to solve, and absolutely no interest in learning to code. You just want AI to work for you, not the other way around.
You ARE this person if...
- •You're over 45 and feel behind
- •You've tried AI once and got confused
- •You want practical help, not theory
- •You don't have time to figure this out alone
You're NOT this person if...
- •You're a software developer
- •You already use AI daily with confidence
- •You want to build AI products
- •You're looking for an academic deep-dive
After the course you will...
- •Use AI as a daily assistant
- •Write, plan, and research faster
- •Know what to trust and what to verify
- •Feel genuinely capable, not just curious

Naomi Shiels
Naomi is the founder of Wild Hearts Publishing and the person who taught herself to use AI — not through courses or coding, but through pure necessity and a lot of trial and error.
She built her publishing operation using AI as a crew. Not to replace thinking — to do the work she didn't have time for so she could focus on the work only she can do.
C4TO is what she wished had existed when she started: practical, no-bullshit, and built for people who aren't going to fall in love with technology but absolutely want it to work for them.

Pre-flight questions
Common questions
Do I need any technical experience?
None whatsoever. If you can send an email, you have everything you need to start this course. We begin at absolute zero and move at a pace that lets things land properly.
What AI tools does the course use?
We cover ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot. You'll learn to choose the right one for you and get comfortable with whichever you pick. You don't need a paid subscription — the free versions are fine for everything we do.
How long do the lessons take?
Each lesson is 10–15 minutes. You can complete a full module in an afternoon, or take one lesson a day. The course is yours for life — no expiry date, no cohort pressure.
Is this course suitable for people over 60?
It's built for adults at any age who feel like they've been left behind by the tech conversation. The average student is in their 50s and 60s, and the course is specifically designed with that in mind.
What if I get stuck?
There's a contact form and Naomi reads everything. This is not a faceless platform — it's a small operation run by a real person who wants you to succeed.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. 30 days, no questions asked. If you do the first two modules and it's not clicking, email and we'll refund in full.
Ready for take-off?
Six modules. 36 lessons. Practical AI skills you'll use the same week. One-time payment. Lifetime access.
