New for April 2026 · Growth & Skills Levy funded
Funded AI Leadership Training for Senior Managers
Three new Level 5 units, approved by Skills England, giving your leaders the knowledge and confidence to shape how AI works in your business.
About the programme
Strategy, governance, and change. Not coding.
These aren't technical courses. There's no coding, no data science. They're built for people in leadership and management roles who need to understand what AI means for their business and make informed decisions about it.
Each unit runs approximately four weeks, delivered online around a full-time role. All three are fully funded. For most SMEs, the cost is zero. You can take one, two, or all three.
The three units
Pick the one that fits. Or do all three.
AI Strategy & Opportunity
Cut through the noise, identify where AI can genuinely add value, and build a direction your business can actually follow.
- Make a clear business case for AI
- Separate real opportunity from hype
- Set a strategy that works for your org
- Test ideas before committing at scale
- Bring stakeholders along with you
AI Adoption, Procurement & Governance
Know which tools to use, which vendors to trust, and how to make sure it's all done responsibly.
- Evaluate AI tools and suppliers properly
- Understand data, IP and vendor risk
- Put governance in place that gets used
- Stay ethical, legal and compliant
- Keep humans appropriately in the loop
AI Delivery & Organisational Transformation
The hardest part of AI isn't choosing it — it's making it stick. Manage implementation, workforce change, and ongoing risk.
- Lead change that brings your people with you
- Plan for workforce impact and reskilling
- Put risk management processes in place
- Monitor how your AI performs over time
- Communicate AI clearly to board and regulators
Who it's for
Does any of this sound familiar?
These units are for people running businesses and teams, not technical specialists. If you're making decisions about how your organisation uses AI, this is for you.
"Everyone's talking about AI. I don't know where to start."
You know it matters but the noise is overwhelming. You need a clear head and a practical place to begin — not another conference talk.
Start with AU0009
"My team are using AI tools. I'm not sure we're doing it safely."
Shadow IT and informal AI use is already happening in most businesses. This unit helps you get in front of it with proper governance and oversight.
Start with AU0010
"We've started using AI but it hasn't really changed how we work."
Adoption without transformation is just a new tool nobody uses properly. This unit is about making AI actually stick across your organisation.
Start with AU0011
"I need to make a business case for AI investment to my board."
You'll leave with a structured, evidenced case for AI — not a vague proposal, but something your board can actually say yes or no to.
Start with AU0009
"We're being asked to evaluate AI suppliers and I don't know what to look for."
Vendor claims are hard to unpick. This unit gives you the framework to ask the right questions before you sign anything.
Start with AU0010
"I'm worried about what AI means for our people and how we manage that."
Workforce impact is one of the biggest leadership challenges that comes with AI. This unit helps you plan for it honestly and manage it well.
Start with AU0011
