AI Training for Employers

AI training for businesses helps employees, managers and leaders develop the knowledge and practical skills needed to use, implement and manage artificial intelligence effectively within an organisation.

Depending on the role, training can cover AI awareness, productivity, automation, strategy, governance, risk management and organisational transformation.

AI training can range from introductory AI and productivity programmes through to practical AI and automation apprenticeships and advanced AI leadership training.

The right programme depends on the employee's role, responsibilities and the organisation's AI objectives.

AI training can help organisations identify opportunities for AI and automation, improve productivity, develop internal capability, manage risks and prepare employees for changes associated with AI adoption.

The skills required depend on the organisation and individual roles, but can include AI literacy, responsible AI use, prompt engineering, automation, AI strategy, governance, risk management, data literacy, change management and AI implementation.

Yes. Many AI training programmes are designed for employees who don't have technical or coding backgrounds.

Leadership programmes, for example, focus on strategy, decision-making, governance, opportunity identification and organisational change rather than technical AI development.

AI leadership training helps managers and senior leaders understand how artificial intelligence can be used strategically within their organisation.

It focuses on evaluating AI opportunities, developing strategy, managing risk, establishing governance and leading responsible AI adoption.

AI training can refer to a wide range of courses and learning programmes, from short awareness sessions, to more advanced professional development.

An AI apprenticeship provides a structured programme designed around an occupational role or recognised apprenticeship standard, allowing employees to develop skills while continuing to work.

We offer both AI apprenticeships and shorter AI Leadership Apprenticeship Units for employers.

Depending on your organisation and the programme selected, AI training may be supported through apprenticeship funding, including the Growth & Skills Levy and other available funding routes.

Funding eligibility varies, so we recommend speaking to our team to understand the options available to your organisation.

Start by identifying what you want the training to achieve.

If you need to develop AI strategy and leadership capability, an AI Leadership Apprenticeship Unit may be appropriate. If you need practical AI and automation skills, an AI apprenticeship may be more suitable.

Our team can help you assess your requirements and identify the right pathway.

Not necessarily. Programme requirements vary, but many AI leadership and workforce development programmes are designed to build knowledge from a leadership-level or foundational starting point.

The first step is to understand your organisation's current AI capability, identify skills gaps and determine where AI could create the greatest value.

From there, you can map employees to appropriate AI training pathways and develop a structured workforce development plan.
