How long is the discovery call?

30 minutes on Microsoft Teams. Long enough to scope what you need, short enough to fit into a working day.

What happens on the call?

We walk through your team, the role mix you're upskilling, your current AI maturity, and budget. By the end of the call we'll have agreed which TESS programme is the right fit, when the next cohort starts, and what the funding looks like.

Do I need to know which programme I want?

No. The 60-second recommender quiz on this page narrows it down before the call, and we tune the recommendation together once we understand your context.

Yes. There's no charge, no obligation, no hard sell. We only enrol cohorts when there's clear programme fit.

Who will I be speaking with?

One of the TESS directors or a senior consultant. We rotate based on availability and the programme fit, but everyone on the call has end-to-end visibility of TESS delivery.
