10:15 – 10:45 • Tools

Your AI Toolkit: Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude & Beyond

Strengths and best-use cases for each major platform. Microsoft Copilot for M365 integration, ChatGPT for creative and custom GPTs, Claude for long-form analysis, and Gemini for Google Workspace. Which tool for which job.

11:00 – 12:30 • Core Workshop

The Art of Effective Prompting

Introducing the TESS Prompt Framework — a simple, repeatable structure for crafting prompts that deliver consistent, high-quality outputs. Role, context, format, constraints, and iteration. Teams collaborate on function-specific briefs and test prompts live.

The Cost of Not Upskilling in AI

McKinsey estimates that generative AI could add up to $4.4 trillion in annual productivity globally. Organisations that fail to upskill their teams risk falling behind competitors who are already using AI to create content faster, make better decisions, and automate routine work. This 1-day accelerator pays for itself within weeks through time saved on content creation, data analysis, communication drafts, and administrative tasks alone. The question isn’t whether your team should learn AI — it’s how quickly you can get them started.

What Delegates Say

“I was using ChatGPT like a search engine. This workshop showed me how to use it as a genuine productivity tool. Completely different results.”

— Workshop Delegate • Marketing Manager

“The prompt engineering frameworks saved me hours in the first week alone. Content that used to take a day now takes an hour.”

— Workshop Delegate • Communications Officer

“Our entire department attended and the collective productivity gain has been measurable. We estimate 15 hours saved per week across the team.”

— Workshop Delegate • Head of Operations

“The hands-on exercises using our own real-world tasks made it immediately relevant. Not a single generic example in the whole day.”

— Workshop Delegate • Business Analyst

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AI prompt training and who is it for? +

AI prompt training teaches professionals how to communicate effectively with generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini. Our 1-day accelerator is designed for anyone who uses these tools at work — from managers and marketers to project leads and HR professionals. No technical background or coding skills are required; the focus is on practical, role-specific techniques that deliver immediate productivity gains.

What will delegates actually learn in one day? +

Delegates learn a structured prompting framework covering role-setting, context injection, output formatting, and iterative refinement. The day includes hands-on exercises with ChatGPT and Copilot tailored to your organisation’s real tasks — from drafting reports and emails to analysing data, summarising documents, and creating content. Every delegate leaves with a personal prompt library they can use from day two onwards.

How is this different from free online AI tutorials? +

Free tutorials tend to be generic and tool-specific. Our accelerator is facilitated by experienced trainers who contextualise every exercise to your industry, your tools, and your organisation’s actual challenges. Delegates work on real scenarios rather than abstract examples, and they receive a CPD-accredited certificate on completion. The session also covers AI ethics, data governance, and how to build internal AI usage policies — topics rarely addressed in free resources.

Can this be delivered remotely or does it have to be face-to-face? +

Sessions are delivered live online via Microsoft Teams or Zoom. Face-to-face delivery is available for closed cohorts of 10–15+ delegates from the same company, as part of a hybrid model combining some sessions on-site with others online. We also run half-day AM or PM options for teams that need a shorter commitment. Large groups of 30+ can be split across morning and afternoon cohorts with volume discounts available.

Is there an advanced option for teams that want to go further? +

Yes. Our Advanced AI Accelerator (Day 2) covers custom GPT creation, workflow automation, and agentic AI. For organisations that want a longer-term capability programme, we also offer fully funded AI & Data Science apprenticeships at Levels 3–7, delivered through the Apprenticeship Levy with no additional training cost.

Want to Go Deeper? Consider a Funded AI Apprenticeship

If your team needs more than a one-day session, our AI & Data Science apprenticeships offer 12–18 months of structured development — fully funded through the Apprenticeship Levy. From Level 3 AI operations to Level 6 AI & Machine Learning fellowships, we cover the full spectrum.
