The Chapter Program

Lead a Foundations cohort for your own network — and get paid to do it.

Churches, alumni chapters, professional associations, retiree clubs, neighborhood groups: the people who trust you already are the people who want this. Chapter Facilitators run local or virtual Foundations cohorts with our curriculum, our recordings, and Alex live on air for weeks 1 and 6.

You don't need to be a technologist. You need to be someone people show up for. We train you over two days, hand you the Facilitator Kit (slides, scripts, run-of-show, marketing templates), and split every seat with you.

Who's teaching

Alex Haynes. Builder first, broadcaster second — which is why you'll understand him.

Alex Haynes ALEX HAYNES · MANAGING PARTNER, UNMUTEDCO AI GOVERNANCE ARCHITECT · FRACTIONAL CTO

Alex has spent 23 years building enterprise systems — cloud, identity, Microsoft 365, and now AI — and 20 years on air explaining complicated things to people who don't have time for jargon. He designed AI governance frameworks that protect more than 500,000 users across 26 locations, trained 10,000+ people to use AI tools, and has three AI products in production.

He built Unmuted AI because the loudest voices in "AI education" have never deployed anything, and the people who have deployed things rarely teach. This program is the middle: real practice, explained clearly, with prices you can see.

500K+users under AI governance frameworks he architected
$75M+technology budgets managed
225+professionals led
3AI products in production

Enterprise engagements are delivered through Unmutedco. Weekly notes in the UnmutedCTO newsletter.

Questions people actually ask

Straight answers.

Why are your prices on the page when everyone else hides them?

Because you're an adult making a buying decision. Programs that make you sit through a 90-minute webinar to learn a price are optimizing for pressure, not fit. We'd rather you self-select.

I'm 62 and I've never used ChatGPT. Is Foundations really for me?

Yes — it was designed for you. You bring decades of judgment; we bring the tools and a safe, unhurried way to learn them. One 20-minute exercise a day, a live session a week, and someone to ask.

What does "governed AI" mean and why should a consultant care?

Organizations don't fail at AI because the models are bad. They fail because nobody checked who can access what, what the policy says, or how they'd know if something went wrong. Consultants who can fix that are rare and paid accordingly. That's what the certification teaches.

How does the Chapter split work?

Facilitators pay a one-time $997 license, complete two days of training, and run cohorts at $397 per seat. You keep 30% of every seat ($119), we handle registration, payments, recordings, certificates, and Alex teaches weeks 1 and 6 live. Minimum cohort is 8.

Is CGAP an accredited certification?

CGAP is issued by Unmuted AI and earned by delivering a real capstone assessment reviewed by Alex — not by finishing videos. It is a practitioner credential, not a university degree, and we say so plainly. Renewal is through the Practitioner Circle.

What's your refund policy?

Full refund on any cohort within 14 days of purchase and before week 2 begins. Digital products are final sale. Memberships cancel anytime.

Free live masterclass · Thursday, Oct 1, 2026 · 12:00 ET

The Five AI Lies Executives Are Being Sold.

Sixty minutes, live, no slides for the first ten. What's real, what's hype, and the one question that tells you whether an AI vendor has ever deployed anything. Cohort enrollment opens on the call — and stays open after it.
