Perplexity training courses
AI-powered research with Perplexity: cited answers, source control, Spaces, Deep Research and systematic fact-checking.
Perplexity combines language models with live web search and delivers answers backed by numbered citations. That makes it particularly suited to work where currency and traceability matter: market and competitor monitoring, research into regulation and standards, supplier and partner due diligence, or preparing decision papers. In this practical day you learn to phrase research questions precisely, steer the choice of sources deliberately and use follow-up questions to turn an initial answer into a robust research result.
You work with Spaces, where you group research on a topic, add your own files and set instructions for the team. With Deep Research you produce extensive reports that evaluate many sources and bring them together in a structured way. Quality is a key focus: you learn to assess sources, cross-check claims and recognise typical failure patterns such as outdated or misattributed information. We also address data protection and licensing questions for business use. You leave with a reusable research process tailored to your own function.

Frequently asked questions
How does Perplexity differ from ChatGPT or a search engine?
A search engine returns a list of links, and a general chat assistant often answers from its training data. Perplexity searches the web at the moment you ask, summarises what it finds and backs each statement with citations. That makes it particularly well suited to current, verifiable research – although you still need to assess the sources yourself.
Can I rely on Perplexity's citations?
Citations make verification much easier, but they do not replace it. Occasionally a statement is attributed to a source that does not say quite that, or an outdated page is used. In the course you learn a lean fact-checking routine that lets you quickly verify critical statements against the original source.
Is Perplexity suitable for confidential research within a company?
Enterprise plans offer additional commitments on data use and administration. Even so, you should not put trade secrets or personal data into queries unless your internal policy explicitly allows it. We discuss how to phrase queries so that sensitive details stay protected while the research remains useful.
