AI Foundations
Core AI concepts, how LLMs and automation tools actually work, and what AI can realistically do for your business today.
You will stop buying AI subscriptions you don't understand — and know which tools fit your real problems.
From AI fundamentals to live deployment — build real tools, automate your operations, and launch your AI-powered business with confidence.
A program of Apex AI Institute, hosted at Feitian College in Middletown, New York.

How it works
Not a pay-first bootcamp. We review applications by hand and only invoice after we have decided you are a fit.
Tell us about your business. Takes about 3 minutes. We review on a rolling basis and respond within 3 business days.
Only after you are accepted. $500 covers all 5 weeks, materials, and your certificate. Refundable up to 14 days before start.
Week 1 at Feitian College, Middletown NY. Leave every week with a working AI system running in your actual business.

What you'll stop doing
This program is built for operators, not engineers. Every module ends with a system running inside your business — not a certificate of attendance.
Spending 10+ hours/week writing the same customer emails
A branded AI agent that answers 80% of inquiries automatically
Paying $300+/month for an accountant to organize receipts
An AI workflow that tags, categorizes, and reports in minutes
Staying up until 10pm scheduling next week's social posts
AI-generated draft content you approve in 15 minutes
