AI TRAINING

Hands-on AI Training Curriculum

For teams who want to level up without slowing down.

“This AI Training programme gave our team a shared language about how to think about AI internally. Caelan educated us on the benefits and the pitfalls, and took away many of the fears we had around data security. We've already achieved payback on the time we spent in this programme, and we're now thinking big time about how we can use AI to support our growth plans, securely.”

"I use AI every day now, and I hardly did before taking this training programme. Our work is really complex, and AI takes the administrative workload off of our people. This training gave me a lot of confidence, and now I'm sharing the prompts I learned with other people in my life. Caelan's positivity and enthusiasm is really engaging. His workshops are full of facts and anecdotes, and a lot of fun."
