It's like if there's a book titled "AI for Dummies", this course's content will be seen there. The course was very delicately crafted to guide you through the basics of AI and gradually introduces new concepts and principles as you go along.
Each lesson was written in the simplest way possible without compromising the quality of content and learning. After you finish each important chapter/cluster of lessons, you get to test your knowledge and apply what you've learned right away to ensure that you not only absorb the lessons given, but actually retain them.
After having completed the course, I am now ready to efficiently use AI tools in both personal and professional settings, make informed decisions about when and how to apply them, and continue learning more advanced concepts with confidence.

I see this as mission critical for Spanner; I want our EA fully integrating AI across our operations: a custom CRM, maximizing our networking capabilities, supporting biz dev, LinkedIn, managing meetings, and daily operations. I cannot highlight the importance enough. And I think it's a great opportunity for her to increase her responsibilities by leading this for Spanner. She seems excited.
Only two weeks in and our hire absolutely crushed it for us. He's technically savvy across our entire tech stack, really good culture fit, and has a great sense of accountability. I can't believe you found us this quality of AI talent in just two weeks.

We could price this course way higher than $10. But we choose not to. Here's why.
Pearl's co-founders, Monty and Isaac, grew up in Philippines and Venezuela respectively. When they moved to the U.S. and started companies, they both saw the same thing: the talented people they grew up with back home couldn't access the same opportunities. Not because they weren't smart. Just because of where they were born. Pearl AI+ is priced at $10 because geography shouldn't determine your future.
People value what they pay for, even if it's just $10. Thus, we believe that those who invest in themselves (even a small amount) are the ones who actually finish, and in turn are more likely to get hired at top-tier companies. So we price at $10 to make sure you're actually committed.
Here's how it works: If you get placed through Pearl, we refund your $10. Furthermore, if you are a top 1% graduate of Pearl AI+, you get an additional signing bonus. We win when you get placed into one of our partner companies; thus, we're highly incentivized to make sure you're learning applicable skills in our course.

Pearl AI+ is currently designed for Executive Assistants and Virtual Assistants at any stage, whether you're just starting out, transitioning into the role, or looking to deepen your AI skills. In the future, we'll be expanding the course to sales and marketing operators.
We price at $10 because free doesn't work. When something costs nothing, people don't treat it seriously. $10 filters for commitment; people who invest in themselves show up and finish. But we also believe talent shouldn't be gatekept by cost. At $10, the financial barrier disappears for talented people in the Philippines, Latin America, and South Africa. Here's what makes this different: we make money when you get hired, not when you enroll. Get placed through Pearl, and we refund your $10. Your only real cost is your time and effort.
You can finish the core program in as little as one week (22 hours at 3 hours/day). The faster you move through with quality work, the higher your chance of securing interviews with top global companies. Completing the optional third module (7 hours) on advanced automation can also give you an extra edge.
Live sessions are recorded and made available to participants. However, attending live is strongly encouraged to get the most value from discussions, demos, and live Q&A with mentors.
You’ll work with widely used AI tools including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Google NotebookLM. The focus is on learning how to communicate with and apply AI effectively - skills that transfer across tools, not just specific platforms.
Client endorsement is merit-based. Top performers are identified based on output quality, demonstrated judgement, responsible AI use, and performance in real-world simulations. Endorsement include priority consideration for interviews, referrals, or internships but is not guaranteed.
You’ll receive your certification and retain access to Pearl AI+ resources and community. Top performers are fast-tracked for interviews with our hiring partners. Those who get placed through Pearl also get access to monthly webinars, direct mentorship, and continuous upskilling as AI evolves. Everyone walks away with job-ready skills, but Pearl placements get ongoing support to succeed in their new roles.
No prior AI experience is required. The course starts with foundational concepts and builds toward applied, real-world use. Comfort with basic digital tools and EA/VA workflows is helpful but not mandatory.
