A practical half-day workshop for curious people who want to understand AI and actually start using it — no jargon, no code, no tech background required.
Not sure it's the right level?
You don't need a background in technology. You just need to be open and ready to take one step forward.
You've heard about AI everywhere and want to actually understand it without wading through tech-speak. We start from scratch, no assumptions whatsoever.
Your industry is changing. Come and spend a morning building skills you'll use from Monday — before you're quietly being asked why you haven't already.
AI can free up the time you spend on the stuff you don't love — admin, planning, research — so you can focus on the work that actually matters.
You wear too many hats. AI can help you wear them better. From content to customer communication to planning — there's more here than most people realise.
Four hours of practical, hands-on learning — structured so each session builds naturally on the last. By 1pm you'll be using AI, not just knowing about it.
We strip away the hype and give you a clear, honest picture of what AI is and why it's genuinely useful right now. No technical knowledge needed — just curiosity.
Getting a great result from AI has almost nothing to do with the AI itself. It's all about how you ask. A simple, memorable framework with hands-on practice throughout.
We'll get everyone set up on Claude and walk you through the interface. Friendly, unhurried, and practical. Think of this as your orientation.
Breathe. Let the first half settle.
Once you know the basics, there's a whole extra level. Projects, shared context over time, and how Claude connects with the tools you already use.
Meal planning, health questions, shopping research. These things quietly eat your time and energy every week. AI handles all of them brilliantly.
Grab a coffee. Nearly there.
Planning a trip, reviewing a contract, understanding your finances. Having a knowledgeable, patient, always-available thinking partner genuinely changes these moments.
Building presentations, making sense of spreadsheets, drafting documentation. AI is remarkable at all of this — and by this point in the day, so will you be.
No rushing out. Your questions answered, your use cases explored, space to experiment and play. This is where things tend to really click for people.
When you're in a room with experts and people going through exactly the same thing as you, something different happens. Questions get answered in real time. Things click.
Real questions answered in the moment by someone who genuinely knows what they're talking about.
Everyone starts from the same place. That shared experience — and shared relief — is surprisingly powerful.
Hands-on throughout the whole morning. You leave having already used AI tools yourself, not just sat through a presentation about them.
Just four hours, and you leave with real skills, a personal action plan, and the confidence to keep going on your own.
We've both seen what happens when someone goes from "I don't really get AI" to "I genuinely can't imagine working without it." The shift is real, and it doesn't take long. We built this course because that experience should be available to everyone — not just people who work in tech.
I'm not a developer or a data scientist. I'm someone who has spent years running large teams, building businesses, and looking for better ways of working. I found AI out of genuine curiosity — and quickly found I couldn't imagine going back.
Over the past few years I've introduced AI tools to teams right across Europe, watching people become measurably sharper, faster, and more confident in their roles. That gap between "I've heard of it" and "I use it every day" is exactly what this course is designed to close.
I work at the intersection of technology and learning — building the platforms and systems that deliver learning experiences to millions of people all over the world. I know what good learning design looks like, and I know what makes it fail.
The AI Course has been built with real care. Every session has a clear purpose. The pacing, the structure, the way ideas build on each other — none of it is accidental. You'll leave having genuinely absorbed something, not just sat through it.
We've both seen what happens to early adopters of AI — the quiet but remarkable shift in how effective they become, how their confidence grows, how their careers move forward. AI won't replace curious, capable people. But people who genuinely understand and use it well are already pulling ahead of those who don't. Our mission is simply to give everyone who walks through our door the knowledge, the tools, and the confidence to be one of them. Not someday — starting the week after the course.
"I was genuinely nervous — I'm not techy at all. But within the first hour I was using Claude to do things I'd never have thought possible. I couldn't believe how quickly it clicked."
"The most practical morning I've spent in years. No fluff, no jargon — just genuinely useful things I started doing the moment I got back to my desk."
"I run a small business and this was exactly what I needed. Half a day and I came out with tools I now use every day. Wish I'd done it sooner, honestly."
Every individual ticket includes the full workshop, a resource pack, an AI Prompt Cheat Sheet, and your personal action plan.

Yourself and a laptop, MacBook, or iPad with internet access. We sort everything else — Wi-Fi, logins, and all materials.
Yes, and we think that's a feature, not a compromise. Four focused hours is plenty to walk away with real confidence and skills. You'll still have the afternoon free.
