The AI Foundation Programme Structure

Your journey starts with an initial AI Kickstart Workshop, a 3.5-hour workshop delivered via Zoom. The Kickstart Workshop is designed to give you a solid foundation in practical AI skills that you can use immediately.

The next AI Kickstart Workshop is on 18th July 2025 at 09:30 to 13:00 (British Summer Time) . With only 12 attendees per session, we are keeping this intentionally small for optimum access and direct interaction.

You then have the option to sustain your progress with a Monthly AI Momentum Session – 1.5-hour follow-up sessions to keep your momentum going.
