Founders often face the question: which AI training program should I choose to avoid wasting money on something that delivers no real results? They want to know what to look for when comparing offers, and how to verify that the program will produce working automations in their company. Here's a practical approach in the form of a comparison table.

## TL;DR
- ✅ Define exactly which business tasks you want to automate — this is the foundation of comparison.
- ✅ Compare training format: number of live sessions, availability of recordings, and ability to own the code.
- ✅ Check outcome guarantees and post-training support conditions.

### Comparison Table of Two Training Programs
| Criterion | Our Corporate Program (AI Advisory Board) | Typical Market Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Format | 4 live sessions of 2 hours every 2 weeks + recorded video course per participant | Usually only recorded lectures or rare webinars |
| Group Size | Up to 20 employees at a fixed price | Often unlimited, but individual attention decreases |
| Cost | 99,999 UAH per group (~5,000 UAH per employee at full capacity) | Prices vary significantly; often per-person or per-module without outcome guarantees |
| Outcome | Minimum of 3 working automations on priority company tasks, with money-back guarantee | Outcome guarantees are rare; usually promise only "knowledge" |
| Code Ownership | Code and created automations — full company ownership, running on your tools | Code often remains with the vendor or requires extra fees for export |
| Technical Preparation Needed | No coding required: participants describe logic in words, AI writes the code | Often requires basic scripting skills or low-level tool proficiency |
| Post-Course Support | First-month support for created automations included in price | Support available at extra cost or absent |
| Additional Materials | TOR templates, instructor chat during course, 12-month access to video course | Usually just lecture recordings, no templates or direct feedback |

> **Definition:** AI training — a structured course that teaches employees to create and use artificial intelligence tools for business tasks.
> **Definition:** Working automation — a tool that executes an agreed-upon scenario on company data in company systems without demo mode.
> **Definition:** Money-back guarantee — obligation to refund payment if the program fails to deliver the minimum number of working automations defined in the contract.

## FAQ
**Do participants need technical education?**
No. In our format, participants describe business logic in words, and AI generates the required code. Technical background is not a prerequisite.

**How can we ensure automations will work on our data?**
Before launch, priority tasks are defined and scenarios are agreed upon using test or anonymized data. After successful testing, automations are moved to real company data.

**Can we get the automation code for future expansion?**
Yes. The code and all created automations are transferred to the company as its property, with no ties to the contractor or vendor platform.

**What happens if fewer than three working automations are delivered after the course?**
Under the money-back guarantee terms, the client receives a full refund if the outcome is not achieved.

**How often is the recorded video course updated?**
The recorded course is updated once a year, and access remains with participants for 12 months from enrollment.

## Conclusion
When comparing AI training programs, focus on live sessions, outcome guarantees, and full code ownership — these three criteria separate real value from marketing noise. Tomorrow, take one concrete step: fill out the "5 tasks eating the most work time" questionnaire for your key employees and pick the two most painful for program comparison.

> **How this works on our side:** Corporate program format — 4 live sessions of 2 hours every 2 weeks plus a recorded video course per participant.
