Generative AI - Skills Bootcamp

Bootcamps are back! Enrolments are now open.
Join our new Yeovil cohorts starting in November 2026 and January 2027, or our new Dorset cohort at Dorset Innovation Park starting in December 2026. The Dorset cohort is exclusively for people who live or work in Dorset. Explore the dates below and get in touch to enrol.

This is a 10‑week, in‑person, government‑funded Generative AI Skills Bootcamp for adults 19+ that shows non‑technical professionals how to use tools like ChatGPT and other leading AI platforms to think, write, plan and solve problems more effectively at work, treating Generative AI as a practical communication and productivity skill rather than a tech skill.

Now running for over 18 months with 15 cohorts and roughly 150 learners and businesses, this course takes you from the basics of how AI and large language models work through hands‑on prompt‑crafting and real‑world use cases in marketing, operations and data analysis, then into designing an AI‑driven transformation plan for your own role or organisation so you leave with a personalised roadmap, practical examples you can reuse, and the confidence to apply AI every day to save time and drive growth.

Along the way you build a portfolio of prompts, workflows and ideas tailored to your context, see how other organisations are already using AI to streamline their work, and benefit from 3 hours of post‑course 1:1 implementation support to help turn your plans into measurable results back in the real world, with the number one piece of feedback from learners simply being that the experience has been “life changing.”

You’ll gain hands-on experience in using AI to streamline workflows, with detailed case studies showing successful AI implementations across various industries.

By Weeks 8 & 9, you’ll focus on your business, applying all you have learnt to the needs of your business and creating a comprehensive AI-driven business transformation plan. You’ll create business flow and process diagrams, assess the impact of AI on business performance, explore effective collaboration strategies, and learn how to integrate AI solutions into existing systems. During this time, you’ll develop a roadmap for AI adoption that aligns with your business goals and creates measurable results.

Finally, in Week 10 you'll present your AI-driven business plan, refining it with feedback from peers and instructors. This section will also cover emerging trends and future directions in AI for business, ensuring you stay ahead of the curve.

All in all, by the end of this 10-week bootcamp, you’ll have gained the knowledge and practical skills necessary to fully leverage Generative AI in your business, setting you up for success in your career and enabling you to drive innovation, efficiency, and growth.
