Controllers ask us most about time, data and how the work is marked.
What is the November course?
AI You Can Sign Off On is a four-week course, live on Tuesdays, November 17, November 24, December 1 and December 8, 2026. You redesign one workflow with AI, with its checks and controls, on the Northwind books, and your work comes back with written feedback. Coursework takes about one to two hours a week. The eight-week AI for Accounting Professionals program follows it. See both courses.
How much time does the full program take each week?
One 60-minute live session a week, recorded and posted within 24 hours. The coursework is set over six days and is due before the next session. The student guides set about two to five hours a week, with the heaviest weeks being 3 to 7.
How do I complete the full program?
By doing the work: all eight weekly pieces of coursework marked complete, and a capstone plan that scores 70 or more out of 100.
Do I need to know how to code?
You need to know your own work. In Week 2 you build a small tool by describing it to an AI in plain English, then check what it produced. The skill the course teaches is checking.
How do I submit my work?
Through the student portal. Each week has its own page where you upload your experiments log, project and reflection, and post in that week's discussion. Feedback comes back on the same page. Look around the portal.
Which AI tools will I use?
Whichever tool your organization has approved. The recorded demonstrations use Claude, and the coursework asks you to log which tool and model you used.
What data will I work on?
The Northwind books. Northwind Supply Co. is the shared case for all coursework in the November course, so no company or client data needs to leave your firm, and you explain how each result carries over to your own work. Week 6 of the full program teaches how to classify your own data for when you take a redesign back to your firm.
I am between roles. Can I still do the capstone?
Yes. You write the adoption plan for Northwind Supply Co., the course case company.
What happens if I miss a session?
Every session of the full program is recorded and posted in the student portal within 24 hours, with the slides. You can send questions in advance through the week's page.
Who grades my work?
An AI grading assistant reads each submission first and drafts the feedback against that week's grading guide. In the November course, a person approves every return for revision and a sample of completes, and reads every final deliverable and decides its score. In the full program, a person reviews every return for revision, a sample of submissions marked complete, and every capstone score. Each piece of feedback says whether a person reviewed it, and you can always ask for a person to look at a result.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, in full until 14 days before the first session of either course; for the November course that is November 3, 2026. After that your seat stays yours: move it to a later cohort or pass it to a colleague. The details are in the terms.
Can I submit late?
Yes. Late work is accepted and marked late until [cut-off date]. Work returned for revision can be resubmitted, and each version is kept.
Who will see what I upload?
You, the instructor and the AI grading assistant (which runs on our AI provider’s service). The files are stored by our platform providers, listed in the privacy policy. Your group sees only what you post in the discussion. Your uploads are work on the Northwind books, so they carry no company or client records.
Does the course follow US rules?
Yes: US GAAP, the AICPA Code, PCAOB, SOX, the IRS and US privacy law. Accountants elsewhere are welcome, and should check their own rules alongside.
How do I pay?
By card on a secure checkout page run by Stripe. Card details go straight to Stripe. For team training, contact us. How to enroll and pay.
Is this legal, tax or audit advice?
It is general education. Confirm the rules and frameworks it summarizes against current primary sources and with your firm's counsel, security and quality leaders.
