AI training for Waltham professionals, on the Fitchburg Line
Waltham's biotech, software and university employers are close to Boston, so the two-day class is a train or highway ride away.
Short answer
Yes. Learn AI Fast is a two-day, hands-on AI class in Boston for non-developers, and Waltham is on the Fitchburg Line Commuter Rail to North Station. It runs 9am to 4:30pm both days, with the next class planned for early 2027 (dates to be announced), costs $1,299, and seats 20. No coding is needed; you practice AI automation on provided case files for email, documents and spreadsheets.
Getting to the class from Waltham
Take the Fitchburg Line Commuter Rail from Waltham or Brandeis/Roberts to North Station, a ride of roughly 25 minutes, then walk or take the T. Driving in via Route 20 or the Mass Pike and I-90 is about 30 to 50 minutes in traffic, with parking at the other end.
Times are to downtown Boston. The exact venue, parking and transit details come in a short logistics email the day before the class.
Work in Waltham the class is built for
- biotech and life sciences
- software and technology along Route 128
- universities (Brandeis, Bentley)
- medical devices
- financial and professional services
Waltham packs a lot of biotech, software, medical device and university employment into a small city, which is why many people in the Route 128 corridor are surprised how little of their day is actually technical. Most of it is documents, spreadsheets and email, and that is where this class works.
What AI work looks like in Waltham
At a life-sciences company, the non-scientific staff carry an enormous amount of coordination: finance, regulatory and quality documentation, vendor management, HR, program management. At software and device companies it is similar, with sales operations and customer success added. At Brandeis and Bentley, it is administration and research support.
A quality, regulatory, procurement or legal coordinator can apply the same skills to comparing documents against a standard. In class everyone practices on the same provided case files, then applies the skills to their own recurring tasks afterward. Day 1 covers email triage, document summaries and spreadsheet cleanup; Day 2 covers workflow design, one build lab, first-pass document review on sample agreements, and privacy and policy basics. Previews: automating Gmail with Claude and using AI with Excel. What do you build in a two-day AI class? lists everything covered.

Planning your two days from Waltham
