Learning AI takes months. Using it well starts in session one. The first AI Academy session is built to fit one sitting, working on something from your own week rather than a made-up case study. You do not leave an expert. You leave with one part of your job noticeably quicker, which is the only sensible reason to start. From the British Chambers of Commerce and PAIR. £169 + VAT for businesses in a Chamber, £199 + VAT otherwise. See what the first session covers 👉 britishchambers.org.uk/ai-ac…

💡BCC President, Andy Haldane, was on @LBC this morning talking to @NickFerrariLBC about @JohnHealey_MP's first budget. His message from business was loud and clear. 👇

Most people are not behind on AI. They have just never been shown it in the language of their own job. Generic AI courses teach you the tool. The AI Academy teaches you your work. You bring a real task from your own week and you leave having done it faster, using the AI already on your screen. You see results from the first session. From the British Chambers of Commerce and PAIR. £169 + VAT for businesses in a Chamber, £199 + VAT otherwise.
