PRE-COURSE SKILLS ASSESSMENT

Important information: How we use this data

If your place on this Employee Essentials course was sponsored by your current employer, the program operates as a three-way partnership between you, your employer, and Code First Teams.

A key part of demonstrating the value of this partnership is providing your sponsoring company with a Programme Impact Report. This report aggregates the feedback and ratings from all participants sponsored by the company to establish a baseline and track the overall effectiveness of the programme.

Please be aware: if you are one of only a few participants from your company in this cohort, it may be possible for your employer to identify your individual responses within the aggregated report.

We encourage you to be open and constructive in your responses, as they contribute to the overall picture of the skills you and your colleagues will be gaining.

By proceeding, you acknowledge that your feedback will be included in this report.

Before you dive into the course material, we would like to track your current AI proficiency. This self-assessment will inform us of your strengths and growth areas across six core areas.

How it works:

You will be presented with a series of statements. Please rate your current level of confidence and proficiency for each. There are no right or wrong answers – this is a tool for your growth.

The proficiency scale:

  • 1 – Novice: I have little to no exposure to this concept or tool.
  • 2 – Beginner: I understand the theory but cannot apply it without significant guidance.
  • 3 – Intermediate: I can perform these tasks independently in standard, everyday scenarios.
  • 4 – Advanced: I can adapt these skills to solve complex, non-routine business problems.
  • 5 – Expert: I can set strategic direction and teach others in this specific area.

Why take this now?

We will revisit these skills again at the end of the course. By capturing your baseline proficiency today, we’ll be able to see exactly how much your skills have developed by the time you complete the course.

Pre-course Skills Assessment

2 – Beginner: I understand the theory but cannot apply it without guidance.

3 – Intermediate: I can perform tasks independently in standard scenarios.

4 – Advanced: I can adapt these skills to complex or non-routine problems.

5 – Expert: I can teach others and set strategic direction in this area.
