AI Core Skills
Turn AI curiosity into team capability.
Practical, hands-on training for the whole team – built inside your tools, tailored to your workflows, and designed to stick.
- Live Online or in-person
- Expert guided
- Built around your team
Across three practical hands-on sessions, learn how to optimise your AI tools, apply AI to real work situations, and build no-code agents that automate repetitive tasks.
Less time in busy work, more time on impact. Greater confidence in the tools you've already paid for. And real, measurable change in how your team works day to day.
Who'se this for?
Professionals at every stage who want practical AI skills built around your actual work. Practical enough to use the same day you learn it.

What people say
Every programme is built around your team’s tools, workflows, and priorities – from first conversation to confident AI adoption.
This was without a doubt the most engaging and relevant training I have done in the last 10 years!
I’ll admit, I went in feeling a little apprehensive – unsure how it would translate into my day-to-day work. But I’ve come away feeling genuinely confident and excited about the opportunities Stephen Toms was still full of beans after 6 hours of training and was an absolute gun!

I just wanted to thank you for facilitating the session yesterday, in particular your delivery and energy. We’ve never had such positive feedback from team training like this before.
Leading in, I looked at my calendar thinking, this is going to be along Friday, but to be honest, at the end of the session, you left me gasping for more.
