Sound familiar?

AI is moving fast, and it’s easy to feel like you’re behind.

Everyone else seems further ahead

You keep hearing what AI can do. You're just not sure what it can do for you.

Your team are using it their own way

Some love it, some avoid it, and nobody's quite sure what's safe to put into it.

You've had training that didn't stick

Interesting on the day, forgotten by Friday, and nothing really changed.

You don't know where to start

Too many tools, too much noise, and most of it assumes you're technical.

Not technical? Perfect.

That’s exactly who I teach

Hi, I’m Matt.

I’ve been teaching people to use new technology since 2010, for teams at the BBC, NHS, Tesco and RBS. My whole job is making the complicated feel simple.

If you’ve ever sat in a training session and felt like it wasn’t meant for you, this is different. No jargon, no assumed knowledge, and you’ll be doing it yourself before we finish.

Development

Rather we just built it for you?

Sometimes you don’t need training, you need the thing made. Tell us the problem and we’ll build the tool, the automation or the site, then show you how to look after it.

Questions

The quick answers

I'm not technical at all. Is this for me?

Yes, that's exactly who it's for. If you can explain a problem to a colleague, you can do this. No jargon, and nothing assumed.

How much does training for my team cost?

Team days are £2,500 + VAT. AI Literacy can run in-house for groups of 20 or more from around £2,000.

Is it safe for my team to use AI at work?

It is when everyone knows what they're doing. Every course covers what's safe to share, what isn't, and how to check what AI gives you.

Is the training accredited?

AI Literacy and Certified AI Practitioner are CPD accredited.

Online or in person?

Both. Public events run online. Team training runs on site or online. [Area you travel to.]
