Teach people when not to trust the AI — and what to do instead — in two applied days.
Critical Thinking When Using AI is a tool-agnostic skills programme built on PAUSE, a five-step model for evaluating AI output before acting on it. Facilitator guide, slides, workbook, live AI exercises, a summative assessment and certificate — written by Bodhih Training, ready to deliver.
- 2 days · 14 contact hours · blended, with an overnight real-world application
- PAUSE: Purpose, Accuracy, Uncertainty, Source, Effect — five questions before acting on any AI output
- Works with ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude or any other tool; participants bring their own real outputs
- A trust calibration matrix so verification effort matches the stakes
- Summative assessment with a 75% pass mark and certification
Critical Thinking When Using AI Trainer Toolkit by Bodhih Training — built on programmes delivered to 2,000+ companies since 2008.
The workshop is on the calendar. The material isn’t.
Everyone knows AI can be wrong
Knowing is not doing. Without a practical habit, people still paste confident-looking AI output into client documents and reports. You need a method they will actually use.
Hard to keep a programme current
AI tools change monthly. Building a programme that stays relevant means designing around thinking skills, not screenshots — and that is a design challenge in itself.
Awareness sessions without evidence
Sponsors want to see capability, not attendance. A programme that ends in a scored assessment and certification is much easier to defend.
Picture the evening before your programme.
Imagine opening with a live AI demonstration: a well-formatted, confident answer that is quietly wrong. Your participants miss it — until they don't. From there they learn the common ways AI output fails, and the PAUSE framework gives them five questions to ask before they act on anything that matters.
They practise PAUSE on the real outputs they brought with them, then learn to calibrate trust to the stakes rather than the tool, using the trust calibration matrix. Overnight, they apply it to their own work and bring back what they found.
On Day 2 they work with their AI tools in real time: designing prompts that reduce hallucination risk, choosing verification techniques for different output types, and agreeing team norms for AI critical thinking. A capstone exercise and a summative assessment close the programme, with certification for those who pass.
Once you've run it, you'll notice participants pausing — just for a moment — before they copy and paste.

Walk in with data. Walk out with proof.
Trainers who measure before and after design sharper sessions — and get rebooked. AssessAll, our sister assessment platform, has assessments that sit naturally alongside this programme.
Walk in knowing where every participant starts.
Pair Critical Thinking When Using AI with an AssessAll assessment. Participants take it before the workshop, so you can tune the emphasis to the room; they retake it afterwards, so you can show the client what actually moved. Better-targeted sessions, and evidence that wins the next booking.

Nothing quite fits? Create your own assessment on AssessAll, or ask the AssessAll team to build one around this programme’s objectives for you.
That is the design work already done for you — research, session plans, slides, activities and assessments. Spend it facilitating, selling your next programme, or simply switching off.

Make the workshop last beyond the room
A workshop is two days; the behaviour change takes months. Jobulary turns assessment evidence into a focused individual development plan (IDP) — a few quarterly objectives built on real work, re-measured honestly. Give every Critical Thinking When Using AI participant a plan to carry forward.
IDPs are launching soon — the working demo is free to explore now, no sign-up.

What buyers say
No ratings yet. Only people who have bought this toolkit can rate it - every buyer gets a one-click rating link a couple of days after their purchase.
What is the PAUSE framework for evaluating AI output?
PAUSE is a five-step model participants apply before acting on AI-generated content: check the Purpose, the Accuracy, the Uncertainty, the Source and the likely Effect. It works with output from any AI tool.
Is this AI critical thinking training suitable for virtual delivery?
Yes. The Virtual Delivery Guide covers the full adaptation, and virtual delivery works particularly well because participants can use their own AI tools in real time during the Day 2 exercises.
Do participants or trainers need a technical AI background?
No. The programme is for people who use AI tools, not people who build them. The only prerequisite for participants is regular use of at least one AI tool at work.
What exactly do I get in the Critical Thinking When Using AI trainer toolkit?
14 editable files: Training Design Document, Facilitator Guide, Slide Deck — Simple Backup, Slide Deck — Main, Virtual Delivery Guide, Participant Workbook, Pre-Work Material, Case Studies, Role-Play Scenario Pack, Quick Reference Cards, Assessment Instruments, Participant Feedback Form, Certificate Template, Marketing Toolkit. Word and PowerPoint formats, so you can add your own branding and examples — and a single ZIP to download everything at once.
How much does the Critical Thinking When Using AI toolkit cost?
₹2,999 including 18% GST for buyers in India, or $29 for buyers outside India. One-time payment, no subscription, with an automatic invoice.

Can I deliver this programme to my clients and put my own logo on it?
Licensed to the buyer to deliver this programme to their own participants and clients, in person or online, and to adapt and brand the material. Reselling or redistributing the files is not permitted.
How can I measure what participants learn in Critical Thinking When Using AI?
The toolkit includes its own assessment instruments and feedback form. For a scored pre- and post-workshop measure, pair it with an assessment from AssessAll, Bodhih's sister assessment platform — for example AI Draft Supervision: Reviewing What the Machine Wrote or Everyday AI Judgment at Work. If nothing fits, you can build your own assessment on AssessAll or ask the AssessAll team to create one for you.
