Private Training

Private training, designed around real work

Award-winning AI and technology training programmes shaped around your people, your systems, and your goals.

What sets us apart

Proven at scale
Over 150 businesses trained through our award-winning programmes with a 99.5% positive outcome rate. This is not our first rodeo.
We train people, not products
Our sessions are built around your work, your team, and your tools. We teach the skill of working with AI, not just how to click buttons in one particular app.
AI is a communication skill
We believe AI is a communication and delegation skill, not a technical one. That is why our training works for everyone, from the boardroom to the shop floor.
Trusted across sectors
We already work with organisations ranging from high-street SMEs to national law firms and multinational manufacturers.
Multi-award-winning
Best EdTech Provider (Tech South West 2025), Best Use of Technology (Somerset Business Awards 2025), and the Cluster Award for our work with Digital Hub Yeovil.

How we work

We follow a structured but flexible approach to AI adoption that we call Crawl, Walk, Run:

🐛 Crawl
Build awareness. Understand what AI is, what it is not, and how to use it safely. Suitable for whole teams at all levels.
🚶 Walk
Build capability. Hands-on, tool-specific training tailored to your roles and workflows — Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Power Platform, and more.
🏃 Run
Build systems. Design automations, integrate tools, establish governance, and embed AI into how your organisation operates.

Every engagement starts with understanding where you are and what you need. Some organisations want the full journey. Others need a single targeted session. Either way, we will meet you where you are.

What this programme includes

Discovery call to define outcomes, audiences, and delivery style.
Tailored training plan with practical sessions and examples relevant to your context.
Live facilitation in person or online, with optional blended resources.
Follow-up actions and next-step guidance to keep momentum after delivery.

What we offer

Every programme is built around your context, but these are the training areas we draw from most. Click any area to find out more.

🧠 Generative AI Awareness & Foundations

The "Wow Session" and beyond

Our foundational AI sessions give your team clarity, confidence, and a shared understanding of how AI works, where it adds value, and how to use it responsibly.

These sessions cover:

  • What AI is and what it is not
  • How large language models work (in plain English)
  • Practical demonstrations using real business scenarios
  • Ethics, bias, limitations, and data security
  • When to use AI and when not to
  • Live demonstrations connected directly to your sector

Suitable for: All staff, all levels, any sector. No technical background required.

Delivered: In person, online, or as a blended programme with pre-recorded video and live sessions.

✨ Microsoft Copilot for Business

Our Copilot orientation sessions help teams make safe, productive, and confident use of Microsoft Copilot within their existing Microsoft 365 environment.

These sessions cover:

  • The difference between consumer and business Copilot
  • Enterprise Data Protection and what it means for your data
  • Integrating Copilot into daily workflows across Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and more
  • Writing effective prompts for consistent, reliable outputs
  • Copilot and GDPR compliance
  • Setting up Custom Instructions and managing memories
  • Practical demonstrations with time for hands-on exploration

Suitable for: Any organisation using Microsoft 365 with Copilot licences, or considering them.

⚡ Microsoft Power Platform

We specialise in the Microsoft Power Platform and deliver focused, practical training across the full suite.

Power BI

Turn your data into clear, actionable insight. Our Power BI training covers connecting to data sources, building reports and dashboards, DAX fundamentals, sharing and collaboration, and governance. Suitable for end users and report builders.

Power Automate

Reduce manual effort and connect your tools. Learn to build automated workflows across Microsoft 365 and third-party services — approvals, notifications, data routing, and scheduled processes. From simple flows to complex multi-step automations.

Power Apps

Build lightweight business applications without writing code. Our Power Apps sessions cover canvas apps, model-driven apps, connecting to data in SharePoint and Dataverse, and designing practical tools for real business needs.

Suitable for: Teams looking to improve productivity, reduce repetitive tasks, or build internal tools using the Microsoft ecosystem.

💼 Microsoft 365 Orientation & Modern Work

Not every training need is about AI. We also help organisations get the most from their existing Microsoft 365 investment.

These sessions cover:

  • Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other productivity tools
  • SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams — structure, governance, and effective use
  • Modern collaboration and communication best practices
  • Onboarding and orientation for new starters
  • Setting up and maintaining a well-organised digital workplace

This is particularly valuable for organisations that have the tools but have not had the training to use them well.

🔄 Automation & Workflow Design

For organisations ready to move beyond individual AI use into building reliable, repeatable systems.

Our automation training covers:

  • Workflow logic and systems thinking
  • Triggers, conditions, approvals, and exception handling
  • Cross-platform integration using low-code and no-code tools
  • Integrating AI safely into automated workflows
  • Human-in-the-loop design and governance
  • Testing, documentation, and handover

This is the natural next step for teams that have completed foundational AI training and want to embed it into how the business operates.

Training designed around your organisation

We work with organisations of all sizes to design and deliver training programmes that fit your team, your tools, and your goals. Every engagement is different, but our approach always follows the same principles:

Discovery
We start with a conversation to understand your current position, your tools, your team, and what you want to achieve.
Design
We build a programme that fits — a single half-day session, a multi-phase rollout, or an ongoing consultancy arrangement.
Deliver
Training is delivered by experienced facilitators who understand both the technology and the business context. In person, online, or blended.
Support
We do not disappear after the session. We offer follow-up consultancy, AI Council support, digital mentoring, and ongoing implementation help.

What this looks like in practice

Here are some recent examples of programmes we have delivered:

  • A two-phase AI adoption programme for a national accountancy firm, starting with a whole-team awareness session and progressing to AI Champions, role-specific training, and ongoing AI Council support.
  • A multi-site blended learning package for a major South West law firm, combining pre-recorded video, live onsite Copilot training across three offices, and governance co-delivery with the firm's internal team.
  • An interactive conference session for a multinational manufacturer, including pre-event surveys, small-group activities, and a live AI-generated summary of organisational use cases.
  • Copilot and AI overview sessions for an architecture practice, delivered onsite with online follow-up sessions for their second office.

AI Governance + Training: a complete package

AI adoption does not happen in a vacuum. Organisations also need clear governance, policies, and risk management frameworks alongside practical skills training. We work alongside governance and compliance professionals to deliver joined-up AI adoption programmes — so your team gets not only the skills to use AI well, but also the frameworks to use it safely and in line with your sector's requirements. This model has already been proven with one of the South West's leading law firms, where our training received the most positive staff feedback the firm had ever seen.

If your organisation is undertaking an AI governance review, data protection assessment, or compliance project, we can provide the practical training component to complete the picture.

Flexible delivery, consistent quality

Every organisation and individual learns differently. We offer:

In person Live online Blended Pre-recorded modules Follow-up mentoring AI Council support

In-person delivery takes place at your premises, at our training venues, or at partner locations across the South West and beyond. Online sessions run via Microsoft Teams or Zoom. Pre-recorded modules can be provided for your LMS or internal platform. Every programme is built around real outcomes, not generic course templates.

Not just for large organisations

We know that not every digital learning need comes from a large organisation. Solopreneurs, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and small business owners deserve the same quality of practical, face-to-face training.

That is why we work with local chambers of commerce and councils across the region to offer Open Learning courses that anyone can book onto individually — no minimum team size required.

Frequently asked questions

🤔 Do I need any technical knowledge?

No. Our foundational AI and Copilot sessions are designed for competent computer users with no prior AI experience. You should be comfortable using the internet and tools like Word and Excel, but no coding or technical background is needed. For Power Platform and automation training, we tailor the level to your team's existing skills.

🌍 Can you deliver outside the South West?

Yes. Our private training is available nationwide. We deliver in person at your premises anywhere in the UK, as well as online via Microsoft Teams or Zoom. Travel expenses apply for in-person delivery outside our local area and are always itemised separately.

📋 What is the difference between this and the Skills Bootcamp?

Our Skills Bootcamps were delivered with government funding through Yeovil College and achieved exceptional results across 15 cohorts and over 150 businesses. While funding changes have affected that programme, the training content and expertise remain the same. Our private training offers the same quality with added flexibility: bespoke content tailored to your organisation, flexible scheduling, no geographic restrictions, and a wider range of topics including Power Platform and automation. Think of it as the same award-winning training, available on your terms.

🤝 Can you work alongside our governance or compliance team?

Absolutely. We already deliver combined governance and training programmes alongside compliance professionals. This means your team gets practical skills alongside the frameworks to use AI safely and in line with your sector's requirements. This model has been proven with outstanding results.

💷 How does pricing work?

Every engagement is different, so we provide tailored proposals based on your specific needs. We keep our pricing clear and honest with no hidden costs. Get in touch for a no-obligation conversation and we will put together a transparent quote that covers exactly what you need.

👤 Can I attend as an individual?

Yes. We offer Open Learning courses for individuals, solopreneurs, and small teams through our partnerships with local chambers of commerce and councils. You can also start learning immediately with our CPD-certified online course.
