Short, practical lessons on using AI without breaking the law, leaking PII, or getting your team in front of an EHRC tribunal. Every lesson uses Mermoid's live tools so you actually do the thing, not just read about it.
Lessons marked ● LIVE are written + working today. DRAFT are scaffolded — coming next round.
The lessons are short, sectoral, and assume you've used ChatGPT once but you're not a developer.
Stop pasting CVs into ChatGPT. Learn what's safe, what isn't, and how to keep an audit trail your client can show their regulator.
CQC's expectations on AI-assisted hiring. NMC, Care Certificate, MCA — what AI can verify, what it can't, what you must still do manually.
EHRC compliance, Disability Confident at AI-pipeline scale, Article 22 reviewability, and writing JDs that AI doesn't bias against neurodivergent candidates.
Wire Mermoid's MCP into opencode / Claude Code / Cursor. Agent-native UK regulatory checks in your IDE.
EU AI Act high-risk classification — does your product trigger it? Article 14 human-oversight requirements, conformity assessments, what "auditable" means in practice.
How AI is reading your CV. How to write one that survives. How to disclose AI use in your own application without lying.
The market is saturated with generic AI training. What's missing is sector-specific UK material — the kind that takes EU AI Act high-risk classification, EHRC bias guidance, Article 22 of UK GDPR, and the sector-specific regulators (CQC, FCA, Ofsted) and turns them into a 90-minute working knowledge for someone whose job involves hiring or being hired.
We watched £400/seat AI training products tell HR teams to "be careful with personal data" and call it a day. That's malpractice. So this is free — supported by Mermoid's API revenue, not learner fees.
Because the lessons aren't theoretical — they use Mermoid's live tools. When you read about PII redaction in Lesson 2, you actually run a CV through parse_cv with redact_pii=true and see the output. When you read about JD bias in Track B, you put your own JD into score_jd and watch it flag age-coded language. The platform is the textbook.
Phase 2. Once the full lesson set is written, we'll add quizzes + a downloadable certificate of completion you can show your CIPD CPD log. CIPD Level 7 author = recognised CPD activity.
Yes — sector-specific lessons (legal AI use, financial-services AI risk) are welcome. Email academy@properfithire.co.uk with the angle. We'll publish under your byline.
12 minutes. No signup. By the end you'll know the difference between regex, embeddings, and a large language model — and which to trust with what.
