Why train an employee in AI?
Small businesses rarely have time to learn new tools while running jobs. Our courses give one employee structured time, instruction and a finished project, so the business ends the course with working systems and a staff member who can maintain them.
Practical
Every module is applied to the participant's own workplace, using the tools the business already has.
Structured
20 hours with set modules, written outcomes, attendance records and a certificate of completion.
Instructor-led
12 hours of live instruction with a British Columbia-based instructor, in small groups.
Career-focused
Each course is built around a specific role the participant can grow into after training.
