    General Assembly
    February 2, 2026


    Trying to survive today’s tech landscape without AI skills can feel like trying to survive in the wilderness without fire and water, especially if you’re new to tech and AI. Luckily, you can get the practical AI training you need to add to your AI era survival kit right here at GA.

    To help you get started, we’ve built a new global four-week series of FREE AI skills classes for you to explore different career paths while learning how and where to seamlessly incorporate AI into your workflows. It’s not always about knowing the newest tool, it’s about knowing how to optimize every output—and when to prioritize the human element—so your skills do more than survive in 2026. They thrive.

    Your AI-era survival kit includes:

    Two sessions a week from February 24 – March 17, all taught live from an industry pro. Whether you’re logging on from the US, UK, or Singapore, there’s a session to fit your schedule. And, as long as you sign up—even if you can’t make it—you’ll get a copy of the recording and slides to review. Because these tools are yours to keep.

    BONUS: As a thank you for attending, we’re offering $/£25 off a workshop with code Survive26 and waiving the application fee* on all of our brand-new AI courses. Just enroll by May 15 to lock in your survival savings and take your skills from beginner to next level.
