Larry Maguire

MSc. Org. Psych., BA (hons) Psych., M.Ps.S.I., M.A.C., R.Q.T.U.

I am a work and organisational psychologist, lecturer in psychology, and AI skills trainer. My business background extends 20 years in the electrical and electronic systems integration business and I have been teaching business people AI skills since 2023. I take a practical, people-first, hands-on approach to AI skills training rather than a theoretical and academic approach. You'll walk away from training with real every day AI skills.

Testimonials

What Clients Have Said

“We took our first steps with the AI Business OS and the potential for a busy QS practice is immediately obvious. We are starting small and building from there.”

Eoin Casey

Senior QS Brendan Merry Partners

“I manage 16 concurrent projects across infrastructure, compliance, and system integrations — largely on my own. I was already using AI tools, but without structure. The knowledge never carried over and the effort stayed fragmented. Larry's programme changed that."

Sabino Moreira

DX Lead, Pinto Lopes Viagens

"Really enjoyed these sessions. Learned lots ... and some really helpful tips that I can use in my everyday work"

Ann-marie Roche

Course Participant

"Larry gave a workshop for me which was top class. Hugely informative and helpful in practical ways. So good I asked him to run it twice!"

David McGeown

Workshop Participant

"Larry brings a high level of professionalism and intellectual robustness to everything he puts his attention to. He has worked with us on a number of development programmes in DCU, which were very well received. I highly recommend him.”

Helena McCanney

Learning & Development, Dublin City University

"Larry is one of the most authentic guys I know. He genuinely cares that you see results and his attention to detail is excellent. I've been working with his material now and I've seen big improvements."

Eddie Mulgrew

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions on courses

Is this right for me if I've never used AI?

Yes, it's perfect for you. The course assumes no prior experience and starts with what this AI is and is not, then walks you through setup from the very beginning. If you've dabbled and given up, this is built precisely for you.

Do I need to be technically minded?

No. There's no coding, no jargon, and nothing to install beyond the Claude app itself. If you can use email and a web browser, you can do everything in this course.

How much time does it take?

The lessons are short. Five to eight minutes each one, and they are designed to fit the gaps in a working day. Most people complete the course over a weekend, then keep it as a reference to work from. You can also jump around from section to section to re-familiarise yourself with the various elements. Take your time too, because you've got lifetime access

I've taken other AI courses, how is this different?

Most courses teach you about AI, or they get too technical. This is an applied course, and gets you set up and working on your own tasks, with your settings configured and a method you can repeat. It's honest about what Claude can't do and cautions you on possible implications of AI. This course is practical and hands-on and has been taken by over 1000 students with varying capabilities and technical experience from many different industries including pharmaceuticals, engineering, construction, retail, hospitality, and education.

We are already using Claude, will this course help?

If you are already using Claude in your organisation then this course will give you the structure you need to get the best from it safely. The most common problem in a small team is everyone using a different tool a different way with no standard. This course puts your team on the same setup with the same framework and methodology for working with AI.

Which Claude plan do I need to be on?

The course shows you how to choose the right plan, so you don't need to decide before you start. The lessons themselves work on any plan, including the free one, though you'll get more out of Claude on a paid plan once you're set up. If you have more than one person in your organisation then a teams plan is best and I will explain All and hope you get set up in the first hour.

What if I get stuck?

You're not on your own. You can email me directly, and you can message me through the learning platform's direct messaging. Ask a real question and you'll get a real answer. I also have a space here in the learning platform where you can engage with other learners on the same path.

Will AI do the work for me?

I'm afraid not. AI is remarkable, but it will not replace the need for human beings in the decision making process. Claude Foundations makes you capable and your setup correct. If you want the repetitive workflows built and deployed for you, that's the Cowork Business OS, delivered one-to-one directly to clients. Course 2 introduces this concept and helps you deploy the operating system.

What's your refund policy?

When you purchase this course, or any course on the learning platform, you get lifetime access including all future updates. You can take things at your own pace, return to lessons and modules you skipped or where you need a refresher. Even so, I accept that the learning material is not for everyone and perhaps you have chosen a different AI tool. Don't binge and bounce though... have a good look through the course content first. If if you genuinely feel that you have made the wrong decision, email me within 14 days of purchase and I will give you a full refund. The only condition is that you haven't completed more than half the lessons.
