A friendly, hands-on workshop for real people — not tech experts.
Walk in curious. Walk out confident.
Professionals just like you — no tech background needed
All public workshops run in central Cheltenham. Private sessions come to you — anywhere in the UK.
You don't need a tech background. You just need to be curious — and ready to take one small step forward.
You know it's important. Maybe you've tried ChatGPT once and typed something like a Google search. That's your starting point — and it's perfect.
Your industry is changing. You want to understand AI before it becomes something happening to you, not for you — and you want to do it properly.
AI literacy is one of the most valuable skills you can add to your CV right now. And you absolutely don't need a degree or a technical background to get it.
Buying AI tools is easy. Getting people to use them confidently and effectively is the hard bit. This workshop changes that in a single day.
Practical, jargon-free, and built around what you actually need — nothing more, nothing less.
What AI actually is (and isn't), how it works in plain English, and why right now is the perfect moment to start using it.
⏱ 45 minsA guided tour of ChatGPT, Claude, and the tools you'll genuinely use — with live demos on your own device so you can follow along.
⏱ 45 minsThe difference between a bad AI result and a brilliant one is how you ask. We'll teach you exactly how to get what you actually want.
⏱ 45 minsHands-on exercises using your actual job and tasks — emails, research, planning, reports. Real things you can implement from tomorrow morning.
⏱ 45 minsThe breakthrough session. Learn to treat AI as a genuine thinking partner, not just a search engine. This is where everything clicks into place.
⏱ 45 minsYou don't leave with a certificate and a vague feeling. You leave with a concrete personal plan, a resource pack, and the clarity to keep going.
⏱ 30 minsOnline courses are easy to start and easy to abandon. When you're in the room with an expert guide and people just like you, something different happens.
No waiting, no forums, no unanswered questions. Real answers to your real questions, right there and then.
Everyone in the room starts from the same place. That shared energy and mutual encouragement is genuinely powerful.
Hands-on exercises on your own device throughout the day. You leave having already used AI, not just watched a video about it.
No months of drip-fed modules, no homework. A focused, well-paced day that actually changes how you work.
No surprises, no overwhelm. A well-paced, friendly day built around helping you leave confident.
9:00 — 9:30am
Arrive, get settled, meet everyone. There's no such thing as a silly question here — only curious ones.
9:30 — 11:00am
Plain English, zero jargon. What AI is, how it works, and a live demo of the tools that actually matter.
11:00 — 11:15am
Breathe, stretch, grab a coffee. Let the first half sink in.
11:15am — 1:00pm
Hands-on practice, then applying it directly to your own work. Emails, planning, research — using your actual job.
1:00 — 1:45pm
Good food and great conversation. Informal Q&A if you want it, or just a proper break.
1:45 — 3:00pm
The breakthrough session. Work with AI as a real thinking partner. Most attendees say this is the moment everything changes.
3:00 — 3:30pm
Leave with a clear, practical plan for using AI in your life — starting this week, not someday.
I'm not a developer or a data scientist. I'm someone who has spent years running teams, building businesses, and trying to get more done in less time. I started using AI out of genuine curiosity — and then quietly couldn't imagine working without it. Along the way, I've introduced these tools to teams across Europe and watched people become noticeably sharper, faster, and more confident in their work. That gap between "I've heard of it" and "I actually use it every day" is exactly what this course is designed to close.
When AI tools started maturing, I didn't just use them myself — I began coaching the people around me on how to use them too. And something surprising kept happening: when the right person showed them how, in the right way, everything clicked. Productivity went up. Stress went down. Work that used to take hours started taking minutes.
I built The AI Course because most AI training is taught by technical people, for technical people. It skips the bit that actually matters: helping ordinary, capable professionals understand how this fits into their working life — and feel genuinely confident using it.
I'm not here to teach you how AI works under the hood. I'm here to show you exactly how to use it — starting tomorrow.
These are the kinds of moments we build the whole day around.
"I was genuinely nervous — I'm not techy at all. But by lunchtime I was using Claude to plan my whole working week. I couldn't believe how quickly it clicked."
"The most practical training day I've been to in years. No fluff, no jargon — just real, useful things I could start doing the moment I got back to my desk."
"I booked this for our whole team and it was the best investment we made this year. Everyone left energised and was using AI by the very next morning."
Every ticket includes lunch, a resource pack, an AI Prompt Cheat Sheet, and your personal action plan. No hidden extras.

Absolutely not. If you can use Google, you can do this. We start from zero and go at a pace that works for everyone in the room. The whole point is that you don't need a technical background.
Just yourself and a laptop, MacBook, or iPad with internet access. We provide everything else — Wi-Fi, login support, lunch, coffee, and all the materials. Just show up ready to learn.
Not at all. We cover multiple tools including both ChatGPT and Claude, but always focused on how you actually use them in your working day — not just what buttons to press.
Public workshops are deliberately capped at 12 people so everyone gets proper time and attention. You'll never feel lost in a crowd or like you can't ask a question.
A comfortable, welcoming venue in central Cheltenham with parking nearby and good transport links. Full venue details and directions are sent to you immediately on booking.
Full refund if you cancel more than 7 days before your workshop. After that, your place can be transferred to a future date or a colleague. We're always happy to be flexible — just get in touch.
Join us in Cheltenham for a day that genuinely changes how you work. No jargon. No overwhelm. Just clarity.
