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…
