Is this right for your business?

Our training is built for SME owners and their teams, not corporate IT departments. It is probably right for you if:

  • You run or lead a business of 5 to 150 people and know AI matters but have not made a structured start
  • You have tried AI tools informally but adoption has been patchy or has not stuck
  • You want your whole team, not just one tech-savvy person, using AI confidently
  • You are facing supply chain or compliance pressure around AI governance
  • You operate in construction, education, professional services or the public sector
  • You want practical results from someone who understands your sector, not a generic tech course

🎍

ISO/IEC 42001, AI Management System Standard

All our programmes include alignment with ISO/IEC 42001, the international standard for AI management systems. This matters increasingly for SMEs working in regulated industries or tendering for public and corporate contracts. It is a genuine differentiator most AI training providers do not offer, and it is built into our approach from day one.

Common questions

About our approach

Does my team need any technical background?

Technical skills required: none. Our programmes are designed for mixed-ability teams. We meet people where they are and build from there. Participants range from directors to administrators, and the most common feedback we get is that people were surprised how accessible the content was regardless of their starting point.

How is this different from just using ChatGPT ourselves?

Structure, context and governance. Most teams who try AI without support get inconsistent results, give up, or use it in ways that create risk. We provide the framework, the sector-specific knowledge and the governance layer that turns individual experimentation into a capability your whole organisation can rely on, compliantly and consistently.

We are a small team. Will this work for us?

Built specifically for SMEs. The training is designed for businesses of 5 to 150 people. Smaller organisations often get more from it because everyone is in the room together and adoption happens faster. We have delivered to teams of 6 and teams of 60, and both work well with slightly different formats.

Delivery and logistics

Is delivery remote or in person?

Face-to-face by default. In our experience, in-person delivery produces significantly better adoption rates than online alternatives. We work across Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and surrounding regions. Remote delivery is available for specific modules on request, and we are happy to discuss a hybrid approach where it makes practical sense.

Can we spread the cost?

Flexible payment options available. Phased payment across the programme duration is standard for the Accelerator. For the half-day workshop, payment is taken at booking via Eventbrite. Contact us to discuss a schedule that works for your cash flow.

Choosing the right option

What is the difference between the half-day workshop and the 15-week programme?

Depth and commitment. The workshop is a practical introduction, ideal for building an internal business case, testing the water with your team, or getting immediate value before a bigger commitment. The 15-week Accelerator delivers full organisational transformation with governance, strategy and certification support built in. Many clients start with the workshop and progress to the full programme within a few months.

Does the programme include ISO/IEC 42001 compliance documentation?

Yes, included as standard. Every Accelerator Programme includes alignment with ISO/IEC 42001. You will leave with documented AI governance that meets the international standard. This is increasingly relevant for construction firms, training providers and organisations tendering for public contracts, and it is produced and handed over as part of the programme, not sold as an add-on.
