Handle more work without hiring more people.

AI takes on the volume that would normally require additional headcount (processing, communications, reporting) so your team focuses on what genuinely needs them.

CPD member · Commercial AI training

Practical AI training for your team.

We run AI training courses for business teams that need practical, role-specific adoption support. We are a member of The CPD Certification Service, and CPD eligibility is confirmed course by course. AI training is delivered in person at your workplace, in two versions. The standard course runs exactly as published, for £787.50 + VAT per day, or £450 + VAT for a half day. The bespoke version is rebuilt around your organisation after an extra half day of preparation, at 1.5 times the standard rate: £1,181.25 + VAT per day, or £675 + VAT for a half day. Both are paid in advance. Each rate covers the whole group for a 7-hour training day, and those are 7 hours of training: travel is not counted inside them. We do not bill you for the trainer's travel, or for the one to three hours of preparation every booking gets beforehand. Scope, delivery format, and booking terms are confirmed before a session is reserved.
