Train the team on the practice, not the hype.

For employers, ministries, districts, schools and NGOs: closed cohorts and bespoke programmes built around your own processes, with projects that stay in your organisation.

Four ways to work with us

Every engagement ends in something your organisation keeps.

No attendance certificates. Each cohort leaves behind working tools, written protocols and a named owner for each one.

Cohort training

A closed cohort of your own staff on any Academy course, scheduled around your operating week.

From 12 participants. Projects drawn from your own processes.

Bespoke programmes

A course built around your sector, your systems and your compliance constraints.

Scoped in two workshops, delivered in 6 to 12 weeks.

Leadership briefings

A half day for a board or management team: what to adopt, what to govern, what to refuse.

Delivered online or at your offices.

AI readiness review

An honest read on where AI helps your organisation and where it would be theatre.

Written findings, named owner for every recommendation.

Which track for which team

Match the track to the function.

  • Everyone

    AI Foundations

    What these systems actually are, how they fail, and what they cannot do. The literacy course we wish every adult had taken first.

  • Anyone with a job and a deadline

    AI for Professionals

    Using AI inside real work: writing, analysis, admin, research and the judgement calls that stay yours.

  • Hands-on practitioners

    Prompt Engineering and AI Tools

    The tooling layer, taught on the tools: prompt patterns, context, evaluation, and a working toolkit you keep.

  • Spreadsheet users who need answers

    Data and Analytics

    From a messy spreadsheet to a defensible insight, with AI doing the grinding and you doing the deciding.

  • Makers, founders, operations people

    Building with AI

    No-code and low-code app building, automation and agents. You leave with something running, not a slide deck.

  • Teachers, lecturers, trainers

    AI for Educators

    Using AI with integrity in a classroom: assessment that still means something, and the practice we run ourselves.

  • Executives, directors, public servants

    AI for Business and Public Sector Leaders

    Strategy, governance, risk and procurement. What to buy, what to refuse, and who is accountable when it goes wrong.

  • Analysts and developers going deeper

    Machine Learning and Deep Learning

    How models are actually trained, evaluated and broken: regression, classification, neural networks, language models and honest error analysis.

  • Developers and technical builders

    AI Engineering and Development

    Python, APIs, agents, retrieval and deployment. The engineering craft behind AI products, taught on the tools teams really use.

  • Professionals chasing a recognised badge

    Certification Preparation

    Structured preparation for external vendor AI certifications, with mock exams and a gap plan rather than a promise to pass.
