Course Overview

Course Aim

AI is already changing how work gets done, but most people have had no proper training on how to actually use it. This practical, one-day AI training course is built for business teams who want to get real value from AI on the work that is genuinely on their desk, not theory, not hype, and not a tour of features they will never touch.

By the end of the day, you will have used AI to do useful work, learned how to spot when it gets things wrong, and built a plan to keep using it once you are back at your desk. We focus on practical AI skills people can apply immediately, and crucially, on the judgement to use them well.

Course Objectives

By attending this practical AI for business training course, you will be able to:

  • Identify where AI genuinely adds value in your own role, and where it simply wastes time
  • Write clear, structured prompts that produce useful, reliable results rather than vague or generic ones
  • Use AI to handle common everyday tasks such as drafting, summarising, rewriting and getting past the blank page
  • Critically review AI output, recognise confident mistakes and "hallucinations", and verify before they rely on anything
  • Apply safe and responsible habits around confidentiality, data and accuracy, without being paralysed by fear of it
  • Turn a useful one-off into a repeatable way of working that sticks
  • Apply AI to a real task from your own workload during the session

Course Content

Where AI actually earns its keep
  • Cutting through the hype to find the real wins
  • What today's AI is genuinely good at, where it falls down, and how to spot the tasks in your own role where it will save you real time
  • Start mapping the jobs on your own desk that are worth handing over
Talking to AI so it gives you something useful
  • Prompting as a practical skill, not a hunt for magic words
  • How to give AI the context, structure and direction it needs to produce something you can actually use
  • The difference between a vague request and a brief that gets it right first time
The daily wins
  • The everyday tasks AI handles well
  • Drafting emails and documents
  • Summarising long or messy information
  • Rewriting and reshaping tone
  • Beating the blank page
Checking its work
  • AI is confident even when it is wrong - how to spot plausible-sounding nonsense
  • Fact-check sensibly
  • Keep a human in the loop
  • Which tasks you should never hand over unchecked
Doing it safely without the fear
  • The sensible version of AI safety, not the scary one
  • What is and is not safe to put into a public AI tool
  • Why confidentiality and data matter
  • Simple habits that keep you and the business out of trouble
  • Practical guardrails
Building it into how you actually work
  • Turning a clever one-off into a habit
  • How to fold AI into the tasks you do every week so the time saving is real and repeatable, rather than a novelty that fades by Friday
Your job, your tasks

Your Monday action plan
  • Create a short, specific plan: the three things you will start doing straight away, applied to your own role. The day ends not with "I understand AI" but with "I know exactly what I am going to do with it on Monday"
