FAQs

You may ask...

I'm not fluent in English, can I still apply?

Sadly, no. As the entire training runs in English, and during the working days you'll be asked to write directly in English, we require an intermediate level of these language skills. This simply means: your grammar doesn't have to be perfect, but you need to talk/write fluently and have the vocabulary to do so.
How many participants does the Focus AI program expect to select?

Max 20
What level of experience with AI should I have to apply?

Focus AI is aimed at beginners with basic familiarity with AI tools. They may have used ChatGPT for emails or text summarization but have not received formal training or explored AI applications in depth.
Can I get a scholarship?

No, unfortunately not.
I am a director, can I apply?

Yes, as long as you are also involved in writing. The workshop is primarily focused on the workflows of writers, producers and representatives of institutions.
Are the participants selected based on their projects?

No, Focus AI is a participant-based program. However, you'll have the opportunity to work with your current projects during the workshop for a more hands-on experience.
